25 lyrical lines

Since gaudior has brought this one back around, and it seems like a nice distraction from things, here are 25 song lyrics for your edification identification. (Amusingly enough, there's a track here that those who saw gaudior's version of this will probably recognize instantly.)

I didn't do a straight "first 25 that came up on shuffle" because, y'know, instrumentals and iTrip files and three tracks by the same artist and insanely obscure rarities and stuff. (I did leave in a cover or two, but I'll accept either the original artist or the cover artist for that one.) Instead, I set iTunes to "Party Shuffle" and kept deleting unsuitable tracks until I had a reasonable list of 25.

Edited to add: oh, and I'll use the music userpic for this one.

( I have a little list... )
