25 (or so) lyrics

I figured, what the hell, 25 lyrics that speak to me. Maybe 26; I lost count. Er, though I did mix up the lyrics a bit. Not by lyric: I know how annoying it is to get a set of words and have to figure out which one is first, which is second, etc. I spared you that; what's behind the cut is a list of all the first words, followed by all the second words, etc. It ought to be easy enough to take one word from each line and recreate the lyrics.

( It seemed like a good idea at the time. )
