Re: Best first line...ever
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.

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

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.
