Every word of every song of Counting Crows' August & Everything After, every Indigo Girls album up until Come On Now Social, a bunch of songs by Huey Lewis & The News, Journey, Bon Jovi, Madonna, Michael Jackson, Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears, Peter Cetera and other random pop, rock and alt artists. Church hymns and folk songs, including all seven verses of America the Beautiful. I have a LOT of music taking up space in my brain and sometimes I don't even realize I still remember it, until I hear the song again. 

It really is a very distinctive period of my life. I remember as a kid/young teen when some (but not all) artists would put the lyrics in the little paper covers inside the tape case or the CD case and I would pour over them, and how frustrating it was when lyrics were unintelligible and the only way to figure out what they were, was to rewind and listen to the line over and over again to see if you could puzzle it out. 

One of the things I loved when the internet first arrived was discovering that people put song lyrics online and being able to search for them. I still do that, I was just looking at some Chappell Roan lyrics the other day. 

Spotify will play the song with the lyrics on my phone, i love it.
