Ten first lines

[avevale_intelligencer]

1. We met when you were still a girl, in 1968... (and for a bonus point, who's it about?)

2. Don't ask me how I know, just look over your shoulder...

3. Come walk with me one last time, through ages past, of man's golden greatness...

4. When I was very little, barely knew my name... - "Garboo" by Tom Smith, got by aunty_marion.

5. She was fond of grammar, and tasting Spanish wine...

6. Thrusters burning bright, starlight guides my sordid path...

7. Like a lonely pilgrim, I wander with my heart on my sleeve...

8. Hold still now, 'cause they're moving information close to you... - "Without Hope You Cannot Start The Day" by Yes, got by pbristow.

9. I was always insecure, I never was too sure...

10. Standing at the limit of an endless ocean, stranded like a runaway lost at sea...

Apologies for inadvertent mondegreens.
