I was 21 years when I wrote this song, I'm 22 now but I won't be for long
Let's go away for awhile, you and I, to a strange and distant land
When I'm stable long enough I start to look around for love
Blast off to the stars we go, to leave behind everything I used to know

The Mellotron and Hammond organ intro on one of the greatest openings to a song:
"Watcher Of The Skies" Genesis 1972 off of Foxtrot!!
Nothing could set the "tone" for the beginning of a Genesis concert quite like that!

Amen. Tony Banks did a great job on that. |

GIRL: And will he starve without me?
BOY: Yes!
GIRL: And does he love me?

There must be some way out of here said the joker to the thief
Johnny's in the basement mixin up the medicine I'm on the pavement thinkin bout the government
You got a lotta nerve to say you are my friend
Crimson flames tied through my ears rollin high and mighty traps pounced with fire on flaming roads using ideas as my maps

best opening non lyrical/lyrical:
Nazz "Open My Eyes"
y'know the guitar part before: underneath your gaze I was found in the haze I'm wandering around in...

It only sounds like Kinks to me. The tune itself doesn't really remind me of the Kinks.
In the same way that Harrison/Lennon used Spector, but the songs don't sound like Ronettes.

Wouldn't It Be Nice by far.
Serge Gainsbourg's Black and White has an awesome fuzz guitar intro.

Delia, oh, Delia, Delia all my life
If I hadn't have shot poor Delia I'd have had her for my wife
Ten years ago, on a cold dark night
Someone was killed 'neath the town hall light
Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry,
And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky.
Love is a burning thing, and it makes a fiery ring.

"Come gather 'round people wherever you roam"
"Every time we have a fight, we flip a coin to see who's riiiight"
"Don't want your love anymore, don't want your kisses, that's for sure"
"Row us out from Desenzano to your Sirmione row"
"In my mind I'm goin' to Carolina"
"Picture yourself in a boat on a river, with tangerine trees and marmalade skies"
"Let's go trippin!"

"Step off a train all alone at dawn, back into the hole where I was born."
"Let us be lovers we'll marry our fortunes together."
"Dawn is a feeling, a beautiful ceiling. The smell of grass just makes you pass into a dream."
"Came the night, a mist dissolved the trees. And in the broken light colours fly, fading by."
"Holy cow, I think I got one here. Now just what am I supposed to do?"
