Spinner (http://www.spinner.com/2007/08/06/best-opening-lyrics-no-25/) has a list of the top 25 opening lyrics. I would add these gems...

Others?

That list was hot. Liked a lot of those entries. Specifically "Jumpin' Jack Flash" & "Mama Said Knock You Out."
Two of my favorites . . .

Jay-Z - (Interlude) Public Service Announcement
That ^^^ song still near starts riots to this day. The party takes on another level when you throw that song on.
"Mr. Telephone Man . . . there's something wrong with my line . . . "
If you grew up in the 80s, the last one's fairly obvious.

Shaggs - Philosophy Of The World
Oh, the rich people want what the poor people's got
And the poor people want what the rich people's got
And the skinny people want what the fat people's got
And the fat people want what the skinny people's got
You can never please anybody in this world
The short people want what the tall people's got
And the tall people want what the short people's got
The little kids want what the big kid's got
And the big kids want what the little kid's got
You can never please anybody in this world
Oh, the girls with short hair want long hair
And the girls with long hair want short hair
Oh, the boys with cars want motorcycles
And the boys with motorcycles want cars
You can never please anybody in this world
Disclaimer: I couldn't stop after one line, sorry ;)

My personal choice:
"I ain't no joke/
I used to let the mic smoke/
Now I slam when I'm done/
Make sure it's broke/
When i'm gone no one gets on cuz I won't let/
Nobody press up and mess up the seen I set/
I like to stand in a crowd and watch the people wonder damn/
But think about it then you'll understand/
I'm just an addict addicted to music/
Maybe it's a habit, I gotta use it/
Even if it's jazz or the quiet storm/
I hook a beat up convert it into hip-hop form/
Write a rhyme in graffitti in every show you see me in/
Deep concentration, cuz I'm no comedian/
Jokers are wild if you wanna be tamed/
I treat you like a child then you're gonna be named . . . "
But I can't really argue with yours either. :D

"The ashtray says, you were up all night"
Wilco
"Women think I'm tasty, but they always want to waste me"

And another Prince worth listing:
"Guess I should of known, by the way you parked your car sideways that it wouldn't last"

Oh so many so here's a few off the top of my head......
"The Mississip Delta was shining like a national guitar"
"He was just a social drinker but social every night"
"One of 'em's off her food, the other one's off his head, so both of them are off down the boozer"
"I've come to wish you an unhappy birthday"
"Time takes a cigarette"
.....if I don't stop now I'll be at this all day (That's me, not an opening line!) ;)

She said always remember never to trust me

i dunno if these are the best evar, but i like the opening line to:
In some respects, I suspect
Youâ??ve got a respectable side
When pushed and pulled and pressured
You seldom run and hide
But itâ??s for someone elses benefit
Not for what you wanna do
Until I realize that youâ??ve realized
Iâ??m gonna say these words to you

For all the things I have to say
London can you wait?"
