Greatest opening lines to a song

[Ceist Beag]

Is it a sin to say that I prefer the cover by Disturbed?

Is it a sin to say that I never heard of Disturbed never mind their (admittedly very good) cover of the song? In all fairness though if you put an orchestra as backing on any song it's going to sound pretty damn good!

I only heard of them recently. It's a great cover.

On a morning from a Bogart movie
In a country where they turn back time
You go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre
contemplating a crime.
She comes out of the sun in a silk dress running
Like a watercolor in the rain.
Don't bother asking for explanations
She' ll just tell you that she came
In the year of the cat.

The year of the cat ....by Al Stewart
Brilliant song..

"T'was in the year of 39
When the sky was full of lead
When Hitler was heading for Poland
And Paddy for Holyhead"
