Gotta admit that one is class - the lyric and the song
Johnny is a chemist's son
But Johnny is no more
What Johnny thought was H20
Was H2SO4
But Johnny is no more
What Johnny thought was H20
Was H2SO4
Acidhead by Tourniquet (Album -
Vanishing Lessons)
"You don't seem to understand the deal; I don't give two sh*ts on

Early one mornin' while makin' the rounds, I took a shot of cocaine
and I shot my woman down - Cocaine Blues by Johnny Cash
Not an opening line, but cool lyrics fron Neil Youngs The Needle
and the damge done.
"I seen the needle and the damage done
A little part of it in everyone
But every junkie's like a setting sun"
A little part of it in everyone
But every junkie's like a setting sun"
Good to see someone mention Kyuss, Josh Homme's peak was
Kyuss's last record and the first Queens record, without
all the "Colaborators" I hate that sh*t. After having Dave Grohl
drum on an album where else could they go, maybe dig up
Bonzo???
Junkies look NOTHING like sunsets. When was the last time a sunset
shuffled up to your car and offered to wipe a dirty rag across your
windscreen for a dollar?
Not an opening line more like an entire song - brilliant - gotta
love Zevon.
I was sitting in the Hollywood Hawaiian Hotel
I was staring in my empty coffee cup
I was thinking that the gypsy wasn't lyin'
All the salty margaritas in Los Angeles
I'm gonna drink 'em up
And if California slides into the ocean
Like the mystics and statistics say it will
I predict this motel will be standing until I pay my bill
Don't the sun look angry through the trees
Don't the trees look like crucified thieves
Don't you feel like Desperados under the eaves
Heaven help the one who leaves
Still waking up in the mornings with shaking hands
And I'm trying to find a girl who understands me
But except in dreams you're never really free
Don't the sun look angry at me
I was sitting in the Hollywood Hawaiian Hotel
I was listening to the air conditioner hum
It went mmmmmm..

I have always enjoyed the opening few lines of "Bob" by NoFX:
terminator_x2007-07-23 15:01:04
He spent fifteen years getting loaded,
Fifteen years until his liver exploded,
What's Bob gonna do now that he can't drink?
The doctor said "what were you thinking 'bout?",
Bob said "that's the point, I wasn't thinking 'bout
nothing"
Just a perfect day,
