I think it's high time you knew

Yet another blogmeme via matociquala:

Put your music player on shuffle, and write down the first line of the first twenty songs. Post the poem that results. The first line of the twenty-first song is the title.

Additional: I skipped instrumental tracks, but kept duplicate artists, since many of them were a cappella groups covering others' songs. And the twenty-second song is the title of this post.

This savage is different to me now

I've got a girl and Ruby is her name
Not another drugstore not another town
Do you have that run-down feeling?
I'm gonna do all the things for you a girl wants a man to do

What a fool I was, what a dominated fool
A key in the door, a step on the floor
Because you and I were in love
When in the springtime of the year

You don't have to be beautiful
Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice
Gotta get my old tuxedo pressed
I feel the night explode when we're together

Puerto Rico, you lovely island, island of tropical breezes
I've got a theory that it's a demon
In every heart there is a drum that beats
The case was pulled from under the bed

A world of cheeses, deliciously made for you and me
Just about the time the shadows call
Just you wait, Henry Higgins, just you wait
Magic moments, when two hearts are caring
