Best opening line in a Queen song.

Without trawling through the entire collection or, Lord help us, my own memory - the best I can currently think of is Tenement Funster's:

"My new Purple shoes been amazing the people next door."

...but I can be convinced otherwise. I am a only a bigot when it comes to race, religion, sport, pub etiquette and politics. And art and literature. And Sting.

Coming Soon To A Forum Near You:
'Worst opening line in a Queen song', 'Best closing line in a Queen Song', and 'Worst closing line in a Queen Song'.

It's gripping stuff.

"You suck my blood like a leech" from Death On Two Legs...

So VERY venemous

I love the opening line in "Procession"

Seriously though, off the top of my head, I'd say "Play the Game"

"Open up your mind and let me step insiiiiiiide..."

"Empty spaces, What are we living for?"

That about does it over on this end.

"Look into my eyes and you'll see I'm the only one"

You Take My Breath Away

"Tonight, I'm gonna have myself a real good time"

"She keeps her Moet et Chandon
In her pretty cabinet
'let them eat cake' she says
Just like Marie Antoinette"

"Killer"

Here we are born to be kings...

Yeah! It's a sellout!

IIIIIbrahiiim, IIIIIbrahiiim, allah, allah, allah, I will pray for you

What is there left for me to do in this life
Did I achieve what I had set in my sights
Am I a happy man’ or is this sinking sand...

I agree. Freddie's voice sounds so amazing on this line and the whole atmosphere is very good (even a little spooky).

Just in case you're not taking the piss DF the line actually goes

Steve walks warily down the street with the brim pulled way down low

but I have to say I prefer your version

Nicki

Here I stand...
Look around around around around
But you won't see me
