The return of the song lyric meme--but horribly, horribly changed!

[zdashamber]

Well, not that horribly. But while in the past I've heard it as "your favorite line of the song" this time it's "the first line of the song (with the title blanked out, if it's in there)". Specifically:

Step 1: Put your media player on random.
Step 2: Post the first line(s) of the first 25 songs that play
Step 3: Everyone guesses/brags about the ones they know in the comments, even if they've already been guessed

EDIT: Oh! And I definitely need to thank follybard and arenson9 for bringing this to mind again! I noted what's been gotten so far and added more lyrics to the rest.

I'm going to try this with the first couple lines, to make it a bit more likely to catch you if you know it. Some are really, really easy. One is hard. Several are related, with the player hanging out in hotspots. These are lyrics based on my hearing of the song, so caveat emptor.

1. Well I sympathize completely but there's nothing I can do / I am just a humble servant / with a message here for you
Gotten by obadiah
2. Perhaps one of the most interesting words in the English language today is the word __
shadowflyer and aiyume know this as well as I do, which is to say, kinda vague on the artist
3. This looks familiar, vaguely familiar
Gotten by shadowflyer, aiyume, and jamused
4. Some folks trust to reason, others trust to might / I don't trust to nothing / but I know it come out right
Gotten by rikibeth
5. What would you think if I sang out of tune? Would you stand up and walk out on me?
Gotten by kittentikka, shadowflyer, cochese, aiyume (Cocker is evil, though!), and imnotandrei, also obadiah
6. Little surfer, little one / made my heart come all undone
Gotten by shadowflyer, cochese, and beth_leonard, also obadiah
7. __ __ __ __ - went ridin' down - south Colorado, west Texas bound / we stopped over / in Santa Fe

8. Well the first days are the hardest days / don't you hang your head and moan
Gotten by shadowflyer
9. It's time that I woke up / it's time that I got outta here / either I'm insane or there's an old dame / pouring poison in my ear
Gotten by rikibeth
10. I died so many years ago / but you can make me feel like it isn't so
Gotten by cochese
11. The French are glad to die for love / they delight in fighting duels
The above is the first line of the "prologue", so here's the first line of the rest of the song:
A kiss on the hand may be quite continental / but __ __ __ __ __ __
Gotten by rikibeth
12. Came in from a rainy Thursday on the avenue / thought I heard you talking softly
Gotten by aiyume (Possibly my favorite song here... Though "Cover of the Rolling Stone" and "Come and Get It" are also both awesome)
13. I come home in the morning light / my mother says when you going to live your life right
Gotten by kittentikka, shadowflyer, aiyume, jamused
14. You walked into the party / like you were walking onto a yacht
Gotten by kittentikka, shadowflyer, cochese, aiyume
15. Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waiting for a train
Gotten by shadowflyer and jamused, also obadiah
16. If you want it, here it is, come and get it
Gotten by imnotandrei and jamused
17. Close your eyes and I'll kiss you, tomorrow I'll miss you
Gotten by kittentikka, shadowflyer, cochese, imnotandrei, jamused, obadiah. Tied with the Eagles for "most recognizeable".
18. Oho the __ __ __ is a'comin' down the street / Oh, please let it be for me
Gotten by colomon and shadowflyer, aiyume, and jamused, also obadiah
19. Look out of any window / any morning any evening any day
Gotten by shadowflyer and obadiah
20. __ why don't you come to your senses / you been out riding fences for so long now
Gotten by shadowflyer, cochese, beth_leonard, aiyume, imnotandrei, obadiah
21. three four
Take me back to my __ __ __ __ / I need to go down, I need to come down / take me back to my __ __ __ __ / and I won't cry out anymore
Gotten by obadiah
22. oh ho ho, I don't believe it dah! ah ! Ah ! Oh! Don't touch me. Hey Ray! Hey Sugar! Tell them who we are.
Well, we're big rock singers, we got golden fingers, and we're loved everywhere we go
Gotten by tymen and jamused
23. Spend my days with a woman unkind / smoked my stuff and drank ...all my wine
Gotten by cochese and imnotandrei
24. She's got smile that it seems to me reminds me of childhood memories
Gotten by rvdammit, shadowflyer, and aiyume
25. 7a. What number is this, Jim? 7A. Okay, not a min, don't get excited man, just 'cause I'm sure I know
Oh I could hide 'neath the wings of the bluebird as she sings
Gotten by kittentikka and aiyume

Seekrit Bonus Round:

I note there are songs unguessed in previous iterations...

The mix was a bit random... That's what you get from a fresh load of the songs without history of listening for the player to compare to. Even after I left off all the ones that I skipped past instead of listening to, it's not so much of what I'm listening to these days. Partly because I haven't gotten a new dose of mp3s for a long time... Back to CDs. Sad.
