Best first line...ever

[BillyBones]

Either...

"Is she really going out with him?"

or

"Hey ho, Let's go"

I saw a friend that I once knew at a funeral
He took the time out to be seen
His eyes kept glancing to the hour hand on the gold watch
That he'd been given by a magazine

He didn't cry when the priest gave the sermon
Just pulled up the woollen collar on his fleece
Crossed his arms, gave a sigh and checked the time again
As he sat inches from the wife of the deceased



Yes, I know it's more than a first line ....
Brilliant song, though.

"Broken windows and empty hallways, a pale dead moon in the sky streaked with grey..."
Down hill from there.

Hey! Y’all wanna go down to Devil Gate Drive? Well come on!
(Welcome to the dive)
A-one...a-two...a-one-two-three!

There's no point in asking, you'll get no reply.

Babylon's burning, you're burning the street.

Okay, let's make this the big one for Otway.

Hello, Mrs. Murphy - that's a lovely dress you're wearing.
Is it new?

[Fretless]

I lit my purest candle close to my
Window, hoping it would catch the eye
Of any vagabond who passed it by,
And I waited in my fleeting house

That takes me back to my folk club days. I used to perform that one.

Me too, a capella.
