Songs based around sequences?

    Can anyone think of songs whose lyrics are based around sequences?

    e.g.
    In 'We Didn't start the Fire' by Billy Joel each verse-line in sequence cooresponds to a list people at the peak of their fame at the time or of a major historical event between 1949 to 1964 and in 'F.E.A.R.' by Ian Brown each line (more or less) consists of four words begining with the letters in the title - 'Forget Everything and Remember' , 'Find Everybody and Rule' etc etc

    Any others you can think of? They don't have to be particularily good songs either ;)

    Annie Lennox, Thorn in my side , well that album reads like a relations ship - each song being a phase of it..

    Pink Floyd - The Wall - Life story across the album..

    Tom Lerher had a song about the periodic table of elements..

    And my favorite...
    "one million green bottles hanging on wall ..." :)
