Best First Lines

[Benny Bunter]

When will the good Scotch return?
In all its scarred, splendor
When will the price of Scotch come down?

Neighbour downstairs with one eye
Co-habs with a mass of blonde curls
Ooo-ar
T'pau

Maybe you haven't got everything that you want after all

Doctor Faustus
Horseshoes splacking
Swallows hay cart, cart horse
Of the peasants blocking his path

 

[the ig]

Don't give me that I told you so look
Over your shoulder
I can't help but organize your wife
She wants me to mould her
And I should have told her…
That sooooooooooooooo strong is the lure of moods
Invariablyyyyyyy they're mostly misunder-AAAAYYYYYIII
Misunderstood…

 

[Benny Bunter]

All these fads
It's shoulder pads

Crow's feet are ingrained on my face
And I'm living too late
Try to wash the black off of my face, but it's ingrate

Had a run-in with Boston Immigration
And to my name had an aversion
Nervous droplets
Due to sleeping tablets

Terry Waite Sez
Give us a ring, give us a ring kid
Mister Big
Sounding sour and frustrated
With the pressure of his own life

 

[Benny Bunter]

Consumed with premonition
Of trouble on horizon
By my remarks I was certain
I was destined persecution

 

[Benny Bunter]

Knew I was right all along
Rock to Them, a Talking Heads album
Superhero in harlequin kecks
Dim-wit lecture, half read

 

[Benny Bunter]

Last night I heard 3 real loud ricochets
From the police tech center at the top of my street
And then the morning after, brass band in unison
Jumping, shouting, all 3000
Meanwhile I've been broke in twice
And had a maniac at door, swearing, 12:05 AM

[Benny Bunter]

And it's painless, sitting in subterranea
Ancient reference to Mesopotamia

At my house I’ve got no shackles
You can come and look, if you want to
