Best Opening Lyrics: No. 20

.....I guess then, it's "poetic justice" that they ended up where they did. The lesson to future song writers is: "Be careful how you declare...., you just may be sealing your own fate."

"Hope dangles on a string, like slow-spinning redemption..."

Another rip-off of The New York Dolls. Johnny Thunders to be more precise, the Godfather of punk. The Pistols were another Monkees like creation of Malcom McClaren, The Guy who ruined the NY Dolls to begin with. It was al about shock value. The Monkees had more talent.

Calling it "Rufus Wainwright's 'Hallelujah'" does not help your cause...

hmm-lol i always thought the lyric was " i am an anarchist" crazy!

That is just plain scary!!!!!!!!!!!!!

to quote a great punk band fuck religion fuck religion fuck religion fuck religion fuck religion fuck religion fuck religion fuck religion fuck religion

and i don't care about your opinion just like you shouldn't care about by mine

*the fact that people get pissed off over what he said or think he is wrong or evil is exactly what he would've wanted

Man...you people take this shit very seriously!! lol

"How about... Rufus Wainwright's 'Hallelujah'"

Actually Red Rose, that would be Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah," as that is the man who wrote it, it appeared on his 1984 release "Various Positions." Rufus's cover is a good one, but my money would have to be on John Cale or Jeff Buckley for the best cover of that particularly wonderful song. Though oddly their versions all differ from Cohen's original as they all sing the poem as it was originally written, and Cohen as he often did made some changes from the original poem when he recorded it as a song.

Namaste

this lyric never made sense to me, despite Mr. Rotten's pride in having written it. An anti-christ is said to appear as a leader and gain many followers opposing Christ and the church. An anarchist is a person who promotes disorder and follows no ruling system. Although an anti-christ would not follow the commandments of the church,he or she would be part of and organized group; this is a glaring contradiction. And Johnny Rotten is a douche.
