You’re my first, my last, my everything

Ten best opening lines – and no, I didn’t include any smiths or Morrissey. That is a list on it own
1. Black Steel - Tricky "I got a letter from the government the other day/I opened and read it, it said they were suckers"
2. Born To Run (Bruce Springsteen) – “In the day we sweat it out in the streets of a runaway American dream"
3. First We Take Manhattan (Leonard Cohen) - "They sentenced me to twenty years of boredom/For trying to change the system from within"
4. Gloria (Patti Smith) - "Jesus died for somebody's sins / but not mine"
5. Into My Arms (Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds) - "I don't believe in an interventionist God"
6. Levi Stubbs' Tears (Billy Bragg) "With the money from her accident she bought herself a mobile home"
7. Rebel Rebel (David Bowie) - "Got your mother in a whirl/She's not sure if you're a boy or a girl"
8. Sign O' The Times (Prince) - "In France a skinny man died of a big disease with a little name"
9. Strange Fruit (Billie Holiday) - "Southern trees bear strange fruit/Blood on the leaves and blood at the root"
10. Werewolves Of London (Warren Zevon) - "I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand/Walking through the streets of Soho in the rain"
