The Song's The Thing

Put your MP3 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 is the title.
(modifying slightly, going for the first twenty songs with ENGLISH LYRICS as I'm not in the mood to transcribe gaelic)
No Sheep on the Mountain, No Boat on the Lake
Well you already know life ain't easy
Ever close your eyes? Ever stop and listen?
On the surface not a ripple - undercurrent wages war
Day by day the haze of city lingers
Robin, the Hooded Man
Dawn breaks - there is blue in the sky
It happened one evening, at the playing of ball
Watch the crowd, Time Stranger
In Christ alone my heart is found
Here I am, this is me
What child is this, who laid to rest
Light the candle, John
What happened to the fisherman's dream
Oh, love is never easy
Fiyero! Eleka nahmen nahmen ahtum ahtum eleka nahmen!
White fool, come to a new land
It fell on a day, a bonny bonny day
Words we had said
How I remember sleepless nights
I must away, love - no longer tarry
