Yeah yeah I've no doubt this has been done before but what the hell. Two suggestions from me then for the best opening lines, not just to a song but to a debut album, the first being inspired by the Chart Music thread, the second because it popped up on a random shuffle a couple of days ago.
"I don't have to sell my soul, he's already in me" - Stone Roses, I Wanna Be Adored. A magnificent statement of intent even if time has revealed it to be something considerably less than genius that the devil gave him in exchange for his soul.
"Jesus died for somebody's sins but not mine" - Patti Smith, Gloria. Simmering anger, ambiguity and otherworldliness. I read something recently about intros having become shorter and shorter since the advent of Spotify. Ms Smith would've had no need to worry about Gloria not having been played for the required 30 seconds for her to be paid her fees.
I'm not precious incidentally so I'm not just looking for lines from a debut. I'm just hoping for anything other than a nil thread.
