Best Opening Lyrics: No. 25

--Human League's 'Don't You Want Me'
Thanks to lyrics that crack like silver-screen dialogue, the New Wave adaptation of 'A Star Is Born' is a classic in its own right.
Listen to the line!

Cheesy word play is no substitute for ideas and intelligent use of language.

Ignore the early pop greats and it shows your ignorance. Like: You're the cream in my coffee," I've got you under my skin," Wave your little hand and whisper so-long dearie, you ain't gonna see me anymore," And of course, Slim Willet's memorable, "I've got tears in my ears from lying on my back a-cryin' my dear over you."

"pistol shots ring out in a barroom night" is pretty tough to beat but im leaning toward "kissing like a bandit stealing time underneath a sycamore tree" or possibly "darkness at the break of noon
Shadows even the silver spoon
The handmade blade, the child's balloon
Eclipses both the sun and moon
To understand you know too soon
There is no sense in trying"
