Cryptic crossword clues always provide the number of letters in the answer - not giving it would be a disservice. Do any of the answer words sound familiar?

I'm sure I've heard all these words elsewhere. Maybe there are some other significant words we need to recover. Maintain order while doing so.

The answer words are arranged alphabetically, and they can't be made to fit in the supplied crossword grid. There's an art to initially extracting the message you need.
