Which would be a better option for a starter lens on a Nikon D7000?

I'm planning to purchase my first dslr and I've decided to go with the D7000 over the D5100. I know that the D5100 is probably the camera that's more in my range, but I figured that the 7k will give me much more options once I start progressing.
So, I glanced at the 18-105VR lens that comes with the camera, and read it to be an OK lens? My primary focus are night shots, so I want a relatively quick and sharp lens for the occassions. I did some more reading and thought that the 35mm 1.8g, and the 50mm 1.8 are decent for the price.

So my question really is would purchasing the body and the 35mm lens or 50mm be a smart decision? Or is it better to stick with the lens that comes with it and invest in lenses later.

Btw, my budget is pretty tight so I want to use the money wisely for something that will last.
I know you guys may think why a low budget amateur would be investing in something like this. But I'm really into photography, and I'm also planning to take detailed lessons to further develop my knowledge.

Thanks, and I'm sorry there's so much writing for such a short question.
