Great opening lines from DEBUT singles

[Trufflehound]

Lost in the delta of Venus, lost in a welter of shame
Deep in the forest of evil we embark on the new crusade
Cease your foolish plea we have come to banish the land,
I stand as Saint Sebastian with love for a higher command
And there where hope is dust so strange and absolute
Nestling in sweet sorrow is the saviour of our youth

 

[Hillian1]

........and the one that started it all and ultimately has made my life a much better place

Is she really going out with him?
Ah!
I gotta a feelin' inside of me
It's kinda strange like a stormy sea

They changed the opening line to "are we really 65 in the charts" after being booted off the tour with the pistols for having a song in the charts if I remember correctly.

Although I may have just made that up.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

I am governor Jerry Brown
My aura smiles and never frowns
Soon I will be President

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste

 

[Uh_huh_him]

And this I now
With teeth as white as snow
What a gas it was to see him

 

[Trufflehound]

Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste

I suspect you may need to re-read the thread title...

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste

Oh, HT...that is NOWHERE NEAR being their debut single.

Or were you just randomly introducing yourself?

 

[gjh1971]

Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste

Corrected for you:

Everything is wrong since me and my baby parted
All day long im walking as i couldnt get my car started [emoji106]

 

[CHAPPERS]

I was lost, lost on the bypass road
Could be worse, I could be turned to toad

Hometown Unicorn - Super Furry Animals

 

[crasher]

Harmful elements in the air,
Cymbals crashing everywhere

Hong Kong Garden: Siouxsie and the Banshees.

Isn't it Symbols clashing ? A punning reference to the pictogrammatic writing of East Asia, I think you'll find.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

If you don't wanna f*** me baby, well baby f*** off.

Surely the winner.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Evening shadows make me blue
When each weary day is through
How I long to be with you
My happiness

- Elvis Presley, 1953

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

You are now about to witness the strength of street knowledge...

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Ah-ha Ah-ha Ah-ha

Ah-ha

Ah-ha

Ah-ha

Trio - 1982 (first universal release).

 

[Carrot Cruncher]

What a waster, what a f****** waster
You p***** it all up the wall
Round the corner where they chased her
There's tears coming out from everywhere

 

[El Presidente]

Wasn't even one of the first five post-Devoto singles I'm afraid. The answer you were looking for is:

Well you tried it just for once found it all right for kicks
But now you found out that it's a habit that sticks
And you're an orgasm addict
You're an orgasm addict

You're absolutely right of course, I really shouldn't post at 7 in the morning on a Saturday!

 

[kevo]

"Jesus f**king Christ, oh God no!"

(name the song - and yes, it was a debut )

BSP 'fear...'

Yessir.

 

[El Presidente]

Same old boring
Sunday morning
Old man's out
Washing the car

 

[Carrot Cruncher]

"Jesus f**king Christ, oh God no!"

(name the song - and yes, it was a debut single...)

Fear of Drowning, released on their own label before Rough Trade. It's an absolute belter too.

 

[studio150]

Young man, there's no need to feel down.
I said, young man, pick yourself off the ground.
I said, young man, 'cause you're in a new town
There's no need to be unhappy.

Their 5th single not the debut one
