Best opening line in a song

Dear landlord / Please don't put a price on my soul / My burden is heavy / My dreams are beyond control.

Ok, that's more than one line, but worth it.
 
"We don't smoke marijuana in Muskogee"

Merle Haggard fronting some good ol' values from the USA.
 
Webb Pierce:

"There stands the glass that will ease all my pain"

Zappa:

"I'm a little pimp with my hair gassed back"

Brel

"Ne me quitte pas"

Andy Stewart:

"Campbeltown Loch I wish you were whisky"
 
"load up on guns, bring your friends"

"When routine bites hard,
And ambitions are low.
And resentment rides high,
But emotions won't grow."
 
"Despair and Deception, Love's ugly little twins
Came a-knocking on my door, I let them in
Darling, you're the punishment for all of my former sins"

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Let Love In.
 
Black, you are my enemy
And I cannot get close to thee
Our life is ruled by enmity
And I can't weaken that
The only way that I can see
Is to hold you close to me
To love you for it's meant to be
I weaken your attack

Bonnie prince Billy-Black
 
This just flashed into my head.

"Son I'm 30, I only went with your Mother cos she's dirty" Where's your Bill Shakespeare now? (edited to the proper line)

You son of a one. When I read the thread title, that was the one that sprang into my head before I'd even tried to think.
