Through the S's, Into the T's - iPod Shuffle Progress Report

It seems by far that the S's is (are?) the longest list of song titles on my iPod. With all of the suites and symphonies of the classical tracks - and some of them were quite long - it was quite a slog getting through them. A pleasant slog, mind you, but a slog nonetheless. I'm glad to get into the T's. First song of note: Everything But The Girl's "Tears All Over Town:"
Don't be unkind, for once be untrue -
can't pretend I care for her, only you
Just be on time, spare me your shame,
for once don't mention her name.
Now I cannot claim angel's wings,
but mention her name and I'll wreck everything

I saw things not meant for my eyes,
I was happy once and then twice.
I said things I shouldn't have said.
I told tales of days in your bed.
In love and war there's nothing sacred.

Just don't pretend, wherever you go,
there are things that only I know -
because I'm sure, when she's there,
that you tell a few of the secrets of yours
that I had kept for you.

I saw things not meant for my eyes,
I was happy once and then twice.
I said things I shouldn't have said.
I told tales of days in your bed.
In love and war there's nothing sacred.
