Stuck on repeat

I think I once heard that, on average, most people regularly listen to only about 10% of their music collection. This may be true, as I certainly go through phases of things that I play repeatedly and things that I forget about completely.

Inspired by hannamime's question on lyrics that have moved, and because of my current fascination with lists, here is a completely unscientific 'top ten' of the tracks that I'm listening to at the moment. Again and again. With an attempt to pick out the lyric that suggests why.

1. 'The Guests', Leonard Cohen
"One by one the guests arrive,
The guests are coming through,
The broken-hearted many,
The open-hearted few."

2. 'Diary of Horace Wimp', Electric Light Orchestra
"Don't be afraid, just knock on the door,
Well he just stood there mumblin' and fumblin'."

3. 'The Chain', Fleetwood Mac
"And if you don't love me now
You will never love me again.
I can still hear you saying
You would never break the chain."

4. 'Afternoons and Coffeespoons', Crash Test Dummies
"Afternoons will be measured out
Measured out, measured with
Coffeespoons and T. S. Eliot."

5. 'Torn', Natalie Imbruglia
"Illusion never changed into something real.
I'm wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn."

6. 'Jack, You're Dead', Joe Jackson
"When a chick is smilin' at you
Even though there's nothin' said,
You stand there like a statue,
Jack, you're dead."

7. 'Do Ya Feel', Right Said Fred
"Gravity's calling, the party will end,
But until it does, love's for lunch,
Half the world blows and half the world sucks."

8. 'Love on the Rocks', Neil Diamond
"Love on the rocks
Ain't no big surprise,
Just pour me a drink
And I'll tell you my lies."

9. 'The Lunatics (Have Taken over the Asylum)', Fun Boy Three
"I see a clinic full of cynics
Who want to twist the people's wrist.
They're watching every move we make,
We're all included on the list."

10. 'I Am the Walrus', The Beatles
"Expert textpert choking smokers,
Don't you think the joker laughs at you?"
