I can't post my own lyrics meme as I'm currently locked out of posting new entries to my journal (by what I suspect is an LJ software 'upgrade' to the way in which posting dates are generated) so I'll add a quick run-down of my own ten-song lyric experiment here, as the semi-coherent progression amused me:

Don't want my mammy, I don't need a friend
My heart is broken, it won't ever mend

I'm a very ordinary man
Trying to work out life's happy plan

I love to climb an apple tree
Though apples green are bad for me

Listen to my tale of woe
It's terribly sad but true

If I were queen for a day,
To my advisers I'd say:

"Chicks do it, Japs do it,
Up in Lapland little Lapps do it

She's my lady-love
She is my dove, my baby love

You made the river flow, the flowers grow
You made the weak and the strong

Come, dearest heart, 'mid the flow'rs of June,
Come out in my garden so gay

When I remember every little thing you used to do, I'm so lonely --
Every road I walk along, I walked along with you"




The songs were in fact presented in alphabetical order of title although randomly selected: skipped 5 give-away openings, some repeats (due to the title sorting)and a fair few instrumentals. And I wouldn't expect anyone to recognise more than one or two at most (at least four of those samples even I wouldn't, despite knowing the choruses quite well!)
