Werewolves of London – Warren Zevon
I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand
Walking through the streets of SoHo in the rain
Cure for Pain – Morphine
Where is the ritual?
And tell me where, where is the taste?
Where is the sacrifice?
And tell me where, where is the faith?
Every Picture Tells a Story – Rod Stewart
Spent some time feeling inferior
Standing in front of my mirror
Diamond Dogs – Bowie
As they pulled you out of the oxygen tent, you asked for the latest party
Bird on the Wire – Leonard Cohen
Like a bird on the wire
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free.
Day In the Life – Beatles
I read the news today, oh boy
About a lucky man who made the grade
Subterranean Homesick Blues – Dylan
Johnny’s in the basement
Mixing up the medicine
I’m on the pavement
Thinking about the government.
All Along the Watchtower – Bob Dylan (best Performance by Hendrix)
There must be some kind of way outta here
Said the joker to the thief
Killer Queen – Queen
She keeps her Moet et Chandon
In her pretty cabinet
‘Let them eat cake’ she says / Just like Marie Antoinette.”
Sounds of Silence – Simon and Garfunkel
Hello darkness, my old friend
I’ve come to talk with you again
American Pie – Don McLean
A long, long time ago
I can still remember how
That music used to make me smile.
The Cool, Cool River – Paul Simon
Moves like a fist through traffic
Anger and no one can heal it
Comfortably Numb – Pink Floyd
Hello? Is there anybody in there?
The End – The Doors
This is the
Beautiful friend
What are some of your favorite song openings?
