The Juxe: Opening Lines

If you search for “best opening lines in songs” online, you’ll get things like, Across the Universe, by The Beatles. “Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup.” Uhm, okay. That’s fine and all. But if you like that, then the opening lyrics to these songs are really going to knock you on your fat ass.

Here are three songs where I heard the opening line and thought, “Okay… let’s see where this goes.”
