Down the rock island line is a might good road
Oh the rock island line is the road to ride
The rock island line is a mighty good road
Well if you want to ride you gotta ride it like you find it
Get your ticket at the station of the rock island line

Oops, Oak, you didn't mean that type rock line. Smile

This isn't as other worldly as yours, Oak, but it sorta reminds me of a poem you once wrote:

Kiss Of Steel Lyrics
Artist: Samhain (Buy Samhain CDs)
Album: III November-Coming-Fire

Car crash, the pressing of two lips
Hard steel and an accidental death
One action does you up
Kiss of steel

Kicky... Baba O'Reilly ends with "We're all WASTED!", not opens.

Hmmmm...

"Oh, I just don't know where to begin"
Accidents Will Happen - Elvis Costello

"Meanwhile back in the year one"
Skating Away - Jethro Tull

"I am me as you are me as you are we and we are all together"
(:3= I am the Walrus - The Beatles

...

Sorry. The first post said "the greatest rock line as voted by bbc radio listeners" instead of the greatest opening line.

Okay I'll come up with another one then.

You shake my nerves and you rattle my brain
Too much love drives a man insane

It's either that or

Once upon a time you dressed so fine
Threw the bums a dime in your prime
didn't you

The man who sold the world ----- david bowie


We passed upon the stairs,
We spoke of was and when
Although I wasn't there
He said I was his friend
Which came as a surprise
I spoke into his eyes -- I thought you died alone
A long long time ago


I am the walrus -------- john lennon

I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together.
See how they run like pigs from a gun, see how they fly.
I'm crying.

From Mystikal:

[Officer]
Callin all cars, callin all cars
Be on the look out for a pussy vandalism. Over.
A pussy bandit
Suspect is known in many states for dickin' yo woman. Over.
He is dangerous, be on the look out.

Wang Dang Sweet Poontang

Wang dang, what a sweet poontang
a shakin' my thang as a rang-a-dang-dang in the bell

She's so sweet when she yanks on my meat
Down on the street you know she can't be beat
What the hell

Wang Dang Sweet Poontang
