Whether these immediately bring to mind the song they belong to or not, they are memorable and, IMHO, great opening lyrics. In no particular order...
"On a hot summer night would you offer your throat to the Wolf of the Red Roses?"
"I am the god of hellfire and I bring you fire!"
"Born dead in a dead man's town the first kick I took was when I hit the ground"
"Hello, darlin' nice to see you, it's been a long time"
"There's a black man with a black cat living in a black neighborhood"
"I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together"
"One pill makes you larger and one pill makes you small"
"All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray"
"Come gather round people wherever you roam"
"Whiskey River take my mind"
"I was born in a crossfire hurricane"
"I should have known better with a girl like you"
"Hello darkness my old friend"
"Take the ribbon from my hair"
"On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair"
"When I think back on all the crap I learned in high school"
"Please allow me to introduce myself"
"Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waitin' for a train"
"There's a lady who's sure, all that glitters is gold"
"If I leave here tomorrow, would you still remember me?"
"Jeremiah was a bullfrog"
"Why me, Lord?"
"Turn down the lights, turn down the bed"
"The lunatic is on the grass"
"Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?"
Any others you can think of?
