Albums whose titles are lyrics from one of the songs, but not the title of a song?

And here was me presuming that this thread owed it’s bump to @EinsteinsHund’s current thread on album titles (for which I have nothing so far - sorry EH!).

But for this thread:

Roxy Music - Stranded (from the single Street Life - You may get stranded if you stick around, that’s really something…

Have been summoned here by @Treppenwitz @ting me, and I actually thought about putting up a thread like this after posting the"Albums named after a song that isn’t on the album…" thread. So I already thought of a special example:

The IMHO greatest live album of all time is Van Morrison’s “It’s Too Late To Stop Now”. The title originally is a line from the studio version of “Into The Mystic” from the album “Moondance”. There’s actually a live version of “Into The Mystic” on “It’s Too Late To Stop Now”, but Van doesn’t sing that line there, but in the final song “Cyprus Avenue” as the last vocals of the whole double album.

I don’t know if it’s the GOAT, but I saw him on that tour, and he was pretty damn good.

The Judas Priest studio album Sin After Sin has a track called Sinner. However it’s another track on the same album, Genocide, that includes the line “Sin after sin, I have endured

Wow, a 19 year-old thread that I’ve read thru twice, looking for my first reaction:

Selling England By the Pound (Dancing out with the Moonlit Knight) by Genesis.

Neil Diamond’s “Hot August Night” is the first line in the song “Brother Love’s Traveling Salvation Show”

In 2001 Neil Finn (from Crowded House, a solo career and a stint in Fleetwood Mac) gathered various famous musicians together for a charity concert and called the whole endeavour 7 Worlds Collide. An album was then released called 7 Worlds Collide by Neil Finn and Friends.

The 1993 Crowded House hit Distant Sun includes the lyrics "Seven worlds will collide

Whenever I am by your side. Dust from a distant sun. Will shower over everyone."

Tocotronic repeatedly drops the line „Nach der verlorenen Zeit” - the title of their 1995 album - into a song on „Wir Kommen um Uns zu Beschweren”, their 1996 album.

The Bride Stripped Bare by Bryan Ferry. The title comes from track 1, Sign Of The Times. (Not the song by Prince).

And Ferry borrowed the title from Snagglepuss - I mean, Marcel Duchamp.

Kicking Harold’s album Ugly & Festering is a lyric from track 9, Beautiful.

Been thinking about posting this for almost a couple decades. Seems about time.

My favorite songs of his are from his time with Split Enz.

I’m quite fond of Angel’s Heap from the first Finn Brothers album but I didn’t want to list all the groups Neil has been involved with!

:slight_smile: Quite the prolific Kiwi, that one.

Rush - Hold Your Fire

Rush - Snakes And Arrows

and almost their Counterparts album too but the title is plural and the lyric (in Animate) is singular.

The song “Still Life” on Iron Maiden’s Piece of Mind contains the phrase “peace of mind.” Is that close enough? :slight_smile:
