As per the title, these are the opening lines of well-known songs. Because they're so well-known, no googling. Artist and song title required.

And did I say....no googling!!

1. Out on the wiley, windy moors, we'd roll and fall in green
Wuthering Heights - Kate Bush

2. Ever since I was a young boy, I've played the silver ball
Pinball Wizard - Elton John/The Who

3. Empty spaces, what are we living for. Abandoned places, I guess we know the score
The Show Must Go On - Queen

4. How many times do I have to try to tell you that I'm sorry for all the things that I've done
Why - Annie Lennox

5. Maybe, I don't really wanna know how your garden grows
Live Forever - Oasis

6. There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
Stairway to Heaven - Led Zeppelin

7. On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
Hotel California - The Eagles

8. So, so you think you can tell. Heaven from hell
Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd

9. If I leave here tomorrow, would you still remember me?
Freebird - Lynyrd Skynyrd

10. I was bruised and battered, I couldn't tell what I felt
Streets of Philadephia - Bruce Springsteen

11. Dirty old river, must you keep rolling. Rolling into the night
Waterloo Sunset - Kinks

12. I'm rolling thunder, a pouring rain. I'm coming down like a hurricane.
Hells Bells - AC/DC

13. Love is a burning thing and it makes a fiery ring
Ring of Fire - Johnny Cash

14. Load up on guns, and bring your friends. It's fun to lose and pretend
Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana

15. Billy rapped all night about his suicide. How he'd kick it in the head when he was 25
All The Young Dudes - Mott the Hoople

16. Gold coast slave ship. Sold in a market down in new orleans
Brown Sugar - Rolling Stones

17. No more carefree laughter, silence ever after
Knowing Me Knowing You - Abba
