i used to be able to recite the songs in the order they appeared on the albums, in order of album release. i wouldnt be able to do that now. :(
i'm old. or a bad fan.
I used to be able to as well, even up until S/T. Now the only one I know for sure is Ten. Still, I can easily list all the songs of the other albums, just not in order.
In the months leading up to the 2006 tour, I probably knew (meaning I can sing it aloud without playing the actual song) the lyrics of 90%+ of album tracks (plus many Lost Dogs, xmas singles, covers, etc). I especially made an effort to memorise all S/T lyrics in time for the tour. Since then I've forgotten a lot from the recent albums, since I prefer and listen to the older stuff more, and I've also become a bit less PJ-obsessive.
Still, forgotten lyrics usually return to me easily when I listen to it again.
Nowadays I tend to learn lyrics only to songs that I really like.
