Occurences of song titles in other songs' lyrics
Here's a fun (?) game that has come to my mind: look for PJ song titles (exact words) in lyrics of other PJ songs. Here's an example:
In Hiding contains the verses:
I shut and locked the front door
No way in or out
And No Way is a PJ song title, so there.
Let's see what others come up with, I don't think all songs can be matched that way (Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town or Hey Foxymophandlemama, That's Me, anyone?
), but hopefully some will come up.

Go

Small Town does have one:
"I swear I recognize your breath"
I remember before PJ played this song in 1998 at MSG, there was that big push for them to play Breath, and Ed said "here's a song with the word breath in it." But then they played Breath the next night...

I will walk...with my hands bound
I will walk...with my face blood
I will walk...with my shadow flag
Into your garden
Garden of stone
Blood of Vs.
And Stone Gossard of Pearl Jam:)
"I suggest you step out...ON THE PORCH"
Nothingman
Once divided...nothing left to subtract...
...
She once believed...in every story he had to tell...
Spin the Black Circle
Spin, spin...spin the black circle
And another one:
Unthought Known
Swallowed whole in negatives,... It's so sad & sickening,...

All those yesterdays"
Wash - from All those Yesterdays
I've lived
All this life
Like an ocean(s)
I want a last breath
I don't let out
Wanna take
A look on the other side
"Eats meat, a release,
Bus driving's harder on your head than on your feet."
From Oceans:
"Hold on to the thread
The currents will shift
Glide me towards you"
I know you said it has to be the exact title, but this is only one letter out, so I think it deserves an honourable mention:
From Angel:
"I'm not living what was promised
I am far from glorified..." (g)

When something's GONE........
When something's LOW.....
Shed a little LIGHT.....
(not exactly in sequence, but works nonetheless)
And fuck me if I say something you don't wanna hear
And fuck if you only hear what you wanna hear
Fuck me if I care,... but I'm not leaving here
You helped me when I was down,... I'll help when you're down
Why are you hitting yourself?... c'mon hit me instead
Let's pick up your will,... it's grown fat and lazy
I'm sympathetic as well,... don't go on me now
You
Leaving Here
Down
(Don't) Go
SOMETIMES life don't leave you ALONE.........
"Suddenly the channel changed
The first time you saw blood"
There's an up side to down.
