| | Listened to eels "PS: You Rock My World" yesterday and got thinking about great opening lines in songs.
"I was at a funeral the day I realised
I wanted to spend my life with you..."
Got a favourite opening line? | | | |

| | Not just from a song but the opening line to the second Tom McRae record is "Welcome back said the voice on the Radio" which I really like. | | | |
