Last week, with a €25 Golden Discs voucher on offer, I asked you for your favourite opening line to a song?
You answered in your tens.
But there could be only one winner

Well done Scottser :)
Only thought of this one last night as I walked the dog
“Antiques !
Every other sentiments an antique
As obsolete as warships in the baltic…”

You wuz robbed :)
Fair dues Scottser!
Brucie dreams life’s a highway too many roads bypass my way
Or they never begin
Three excellent songs, each a worthy winner. Glad I don’t have to make the choice.
Well done, Scottser! Enjoy the vouchers :-)
But of course. Up the Junction.
Given the headline on the previous article (Et Tu, Mary Lou?), perhaps the next competition should be songs about Marys/Mary Lous.
You know, like ” Well Hello Mary Lou, goodbye speaking rights!”
Worthy winner, fair play Scottser, you just beat me to it on that one
wow, there’s a surprise. i honestly thought if bertie didn’t win it then Niall would have with ‘sound of silence’.
i guess we all learned the difference between the first lines of great songs and great first lines of songs.
cheers everyone – that made a killer playlist btw.
I am sitting in the morning at the diner on the corner
nice one Scottser
delighted for you, scotts
Don’t let it change it you, stay grounded, k? Promise?
i actually won a nick’s voucher a few months ago just before the lockdown – now i get to go and spend 50 snots on albums :)
deadly
Albums ? How cute
I’m only an Apple Music woman myself now
Up The Junction was chosen by you to begin with, Nick. A worthy choice but… shenanigans!
I’ll just pick what you go for next time.
There’s always one ugly little duckling…
