Best opening lyric

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah-ah!!”
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah-ah!!”

Immigrant Song, Led Zep

 

Well before I could walk I had a wrench in my hand
I was my Mama’s little angel
My Daddy’s second chance
He went end-over-end
The first year he went pro
And he lost part of his eyesight so he couldn’t race no more

 

In the day, we sweat it out on the streets of a runaway American dream
At night, we ride through mansions of glory in suicide machines

 

"Bobby's got a gun that he keeps beneath his pillow
Out on the street, your chances are zero ... "

 

End of passion play
Crumbling away
I'm your source of self-destruction
Veins that pump with fear
Sucking darkeness clear
Leading on your death's construction

 

You walked into the party like you were walking onto a yacht


What you want, baby, I got it


I read the news today, oh boy


Hello darkness, my old friend


Please allow me to introduce myself, I'm a man of wealth and taste


There's a world where I can go and tell my secrets to


Ooga chaka, ooga chaka, ooga ooga ooga chaka

 

It was raining hard in 'Frisco, I needed one more fare to make my night


Take the ribbon from your hair


There's a hole in Daddy's arm where all the money goes

 

Never has The Sound of Silence resonated so loudly ...

 

"I don't want to see the wires in the circus anymore
I want to dream and make believe people can fly."

"She was an American girl, raised on promises."

"Mother told me, yes she told me, I'd meet girls like you
She also told me 'stay away, you never know what you'll catch.'"

"Well Frank settled down in the Valley,
And he hung his wild years on a nail that he drove through his wife's forehead."

"My city's still breathing, but barely it's true,
Through buildings gone missing like teeth."

"She's been afraid of the Cuisinart since 1977,
Now when she opens up the house she won't set foot in the kitchen."

"Once upon a time you dressed so fine
You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you?"

"History repeats the old conceits
The glib replies, the same defeats."

"Now that your picture's in the paper being rhythmically admired..."

"A heart on the run keeps a hand on the gun
You can't trust anyone"

"Don't wanna die in a Super 8 motel
Just because somebody's evening didn't go so well"

"Just give me one fine day of plain sailing weather
And I can fuck up anything, anything."

 

“I met you at JC Penney
I think your nametag said Jenny
I could step to you
With a fresh pack of gum”

 

You’ve got a lotta nerve, to say you are my friend. When I was down, you just stood there grinning.

 

What kind of forum is this?

"I read the news today oh boy."
