Album titles that are not song titles but are lyrics...

OK: I don't think we've done this one before.

What I am looking for here is album titles that are not also song titles but are instead lyrics from songs either on that particular album or perhaps from other albums entirely.

I can think of two from the fine catalog of Shawn Colvin. There is no song called "Fat City" on the album of the same name but it's instead a lyric from the wonderful song "Round of Blues" from that same disc. Then on her Grammy Award winning song "Sunny Came Home" she sings the line "It's time for a few small repairs, she said" and of course that song is from the album "A Few Small Repairs".

So how 'bout it? Any others?
Thanks!

Peace-
Norm

 

Dave Matthews Band- Under the Table & Dreaming (from Ants Marching).

 

Steely Dan - Katy Lied

 

Anne Richmond Boston's "Big House Of Time". I can't think of the song right off the top of my head.

Grateful Dead - "Wake Of The Flood" (opening line in "Here Comes Sunshine")

Van Morrison - "Common One" (from Summertime In England) and "Veedon Fleece" (from You Don't Pull No Punches.....)

Roy Orbison "Mystery Girl" (from She's a Mystery To Me - one of Roy's all time best ever songs IMHO right up there with Running Scared, Crying, In Dreams, but I digress)

many more but I'm tired....

 

Ok some more:

Simon and Garfunkel "Parsley Sage Rosemary and Thyme"

U2 - "Rattle and Hum" (from Bullet the Blue Sky)

 

One more:

Grand Funk "Closer to Home" (from I'm Your Captain)

 

Ok this is the last one:

Richard and Linda Thompson "Pour Down Like Silver" (from Night Comes In)

 

good thread by the way!

 

Oops! I forgot to mention CCR's "Willy and The Poorboys" (from Down on the Corner).

Ok goodnight....

 

Neat idea Norm!

From the tuneful Sarah Harmer... All Our Names is a lyric from the very fine song 'Dandelions and Bullet Holes'.

Austin's Trish Murphy... Rubies On The Lawn is from 'Vanilla Sky'


Tom

 

"Alison, my aim is true...."

 

Blue Oyster Cult - Agents of Fortune (I don't recall the song it is from)

 

While I'm on Costello, "He thought he was the king of America..." (from "Brilliant Mistake") and "Blood and chocolate, I hope you're satisfied what you have done..." (from "Uncomplicated").

 

And while I'm still on Costello, "I punch the clock, and it's okay," from "The Greatest Thing."

 

Van Morrison - Poetic Champions Compose (Queen Of The Slipstream)

 

SHeDAISY's "The Whole SHeBANG" comes from the song "I Will...But" and "Sweet Right Here" comes from "Passenger Seat."

 

Hmmm...

Pink Floyd - The Dark Side Of The Moon (from "Brain Damage") "I'll see you on the dark side of the moon"

 

Wilco A Ghost Is Born
and
Wilco Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

 

Genesis

"Dancing With The Moonlit Knight" has the line "Selling England By The Pound".

Sean

 

Another one,

Pat Benatar - Crimes of Passion (from "Prisoner of Love")

 

Help...The Beatles.

 

Elvis is the king of this. He has said that he doesn't like to have "title songs" on his albums because that puts too much focus on the one song. So he does those "sorta" title songs like the ones you cited. Another example is "Now there's a tragic waste of brutal youth" from "Favourite Hour" and an almost example is "She's last year's model" from "I Don't Want to go to Chelsea".

 

I know compilation albums probably don't count, but how about the Doors' Weird Scenes Inside The Gold Mine, or the Allmans' Road Goes On Forever?

 

Neil Young Rust Never Sleeps

 

Alanis Morissette - Jagged Little Pill (From "You Learn")
