| Strokes Songs By Opening Lyrics | Song | Album |
| She seemed impressed by the way you came in | |
| With strangers to impress so near, old friends don't realise I'm here | |
| That was you upon the mountain, all alone and all surrounded | |
| Was an honest man, asked me for the phone, tried to take control | |
| Up on a hill is where we begin, a little story, long time ago | |
| Some people think they're always right, others are quiet and uptight | |
| I wanna be forgotten and I don't wanna be reminded | |
| No choice now, it's too late | |

| One by one ticking time bombs won, it's not the secrets of the government that's keeping you dumb | |
| Everybody sees me, but it's not that easy | |
| You said you couldn't stay, you've seen it all before, I know | |
| When they say promises, they mean promises | |
| I didn't take no shortcuts, I spent the money that I saved up | |
| I was just sitting there, dime in hand | |
| Won't decide but he won't debate, said 'Thanks my friend', but it was too late | |
|
