Post four lines of perfect lyrics from first verse

[Dr Jekyll]

Into the distance a ribbon of black
Stretched to the point of no turning back
A flight of fancy on a windswept field
Standing alone my senses reeled

[Monkeylegend]

You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen
Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen
But do you recall
The most famous reindeer of all?


..........all together now

[wisbech]

And did those feet in ancient time,
Walk upon England's mountains green?
And was the holy lamb of god
On England's pleasant pastures seen?

I am the very model of a modern Major-General,
I've information vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I know the kings of England, and I quote the fights historical
From Marathon to Waterloo, in order categorical

[rowley birkin]

Pack it up, pack it in, let me begin
I came to win, battle me that's a sin
I won't ever slack up, punk you better back up
Try and play the role and yo the whole crew'll act up

[Google [bot]]

The clouds will part and the sky cracks open
And god himself will reach his fking arm through
Just to push you down
Just to hold you down

[guards red]

I was cruisin' in my Stingray late one night
When an XKE pulled up on the right
He rolled down the window of his shiny new Jag
And challenged me then and there to a drag

[tdm34]

Was it summer when the river ran dry,
Or was it just another dam.
When the evil of a snowflake in June
Could still be a source of relief.

[guards red]

used to wake and run with the moon
I lived like a rake and a young man
I covered my lovers with flowers and wounds
My laughter the devil would frighten

[Google [bot]]

Did you see the frightened ones?
Did you hear the falling bombs?
Did you ever wonder why we had to run for shelter when the
promise of a brave new world unfurled beneath a clear blue
sky?

[toasty]

Brother will kill brother
Spilling blood across the land
Killing for religion
Something I don't understand

[curlyks2]

Someday you'll return to
Your valleys and your farms
And you'll no longer burn to be
Brothers in arms

Fantastic

[tdm34]

Wake up now, this is the time you've waited for.
Far below, where shadows fester as they grow,
An army thousands strong, obsessed by right and wrong,
They sense their time is coming near.

[tdm34]

For My Darling Gill.................

In this one of many possible worlds, all for the best, or some bizarre test?
It is what it is - and whatever
Time is still the infinite jest
The arrow files when you dream, the hours tick away - the cells tick away

[NDA]

Your breath is sweet
Your eyes are like two jewels in the sky
Your back is straight, your hair is smooth
On the pillow where you lie

[P5BNij]

Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather,
Whiplash girlchild in the dark,
Comes in bells, your servant, don't forsake him,
Strike dear mistress, and cure his heart.

[singlecoil]

As some day it may happen that a victim must be found
I've got a little list - I've got a little list
Of society offenders who might well be underground
And who never would be missed - who never would be missed!

[Turn7]

Standing at the door of the Pink Flamingo cryin' in the rain,
It was a kind of so-so love
And I'm gonna make sure it doesn't happen again,
You and I had to be the standing joke of the year,
You were a runaround, a lost and found and not for me, I feel

Such a sad song....
Was the last song they played live at the farewell gig too....

[Graculus]

Shall I tell you about my life,
They say I'm a man of the world,
I've flown across every tide,
And I've seen lots of pretty girls.


It's a God-awful small affair,
To the girl with the mousy hair,
But her mummy is yelling no,
And her daddy has told her to go.

I never thought it would happen
With me and the girl from Clapham
Out on the windy common
That night I ain't forgotten

^ Agreed, the perfect pop song with the most famous opening lines.
