Occurences of song titles in other songs' lyrics

edited July 2010 in The Porch
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? :lol: ), but hopefully some will come up.

    Once I saw her on a beach of weathered sand..
    ...

    ....

    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 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:

    But now you're gone,... I haven't figured out why...

    With heavy breath,... awakened regrets...

    Back pages and days alone that could have been spent,

    Another "Breath" appearance:

    I Am Mine
    "Me, I figure as each breath goes by"


    Also, Hitchhiker has...
    "So be gone"

    And Alone has...
