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.
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..."
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
He's a fairy feller...............
The fairy folk have gathered round the new moonshine,
To see the feller crack a nut at night's noon time,
To swing his axe he swears,
As he climbs, he dares, to deliver..........
The Master-stroke.
Classic Fred.
Another party's over
And i'm left cold sober
My baby left me for somebody new
I dont wanna talk about it
want to forget about it
wanna be intoxicated with the special brew..
okay okay i know its more than one line but it's just so brilliant, i love it, i love this song and love Freddies voice on it...
Nooooooo for me it has to be...
"In the land where horse is born with eagles wings, and honey bees have lost their stings....." a true genius Freddie was to write such songs *sigh*
The true genius nicked these lines from the "Pied Piper of Hamelin" by Robert Browning:
247 ''And honey-bees had lost their stings,
248 ''And horses were born with eagles' wings; link

Captain Jack Sparrow probably meant the song, not the lyric?
I can think of 4 that I love.
First on has to be Bohemian Rhapsody
"is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? caught in a landslide, no escape from reality."
they sound really mysterious and the words are really beautiful and mystical, which I love.
Rock it
"When I hear that rock and roll, it gets down to my soul, when it's real rock and roll, ooooh rock and roll..."
Also I love the way in which Freddie sings those opening lines which is a bonus.
the prophet's song
"Oh Oh people of earth
Listen to the warning
The seer he said "
I like this for the same reasons as Bo'Rhap
last but not least Dragon attack.
"Take me to the room where the red's all red, take me outta my head, that's what I said...."
They are really rock sounding phrases which I adore.
