Song Names -> Song Titles Not Used as Lyrics -> Latest Entries

Some songs have titles that aren't used in the lyrics, and end up becoming better known for their lyrics than their title. Bob Dylan's "Rainy Day Women #12 & 35" is better known for the refrain "Everybody must get stoned" than it is for the title.

Song Title
 
Comments & Submittor Name
Muse Bliss The lyric is "Give me all the peace and joy in your mind, I want the peace and joy in your mind, give me the peace and joy in your mind" Why the title isn't "Peace" instead of "Bliss"? - Nurul
Muse Uno I thought it was a song with Spanish language, but it's not. The lyric is "You could've been number one". Why the title isn't "One" instead of "Uno" if it doesn't contain any word in Spanish language? - Nurul
Muse Hyper Music The most famous lyric is "You know that I don't want you and I never did, I don't love you and I never will" - Nurul
Muse Muscle Museum "I don't want you to adore me, don't want you to ignore me, when it pleases you" I thought the title was "Ignore" but when I searched for the title I only found Paramore song - Nurul
Muse Sunburn Chorus : She burns like the sun, and I can't look away, and she'll burn our horizon make no mistake - Nurul
Muse Hysteria I want it now, I want it now - Nurul
Grass Roots Let's Live For Today The band members omit the word "let's" from the lyrics. During the choruses, they say "Sha-la-la-la-la-la, live for today." - Isac
Anberlin The Resistance Nowhere does the singer state "the resistance." The title had my bandmate and I baffled until, today, he suggested "(The singer's) talking about a riot, that's sort of resistance. - Jack
Radiohead Bodysnatchers The chorus has the line "I'm trapped in the body and can't get out" but that's as close as it gets. - Hawk
Radiohead High And Dry Not every word in the title is in the song. Which word is missing? "And". - Brian Kelly
Gaslight Anthem 45 Nowhere in the chorus, does the singer state "45" I even checked the official lyrics - Jack
Linkin Park Jornada del Muerto All in foreign language, not English. English translation doesn't contain song title either - Jack
Eagles The Last Resort She came from Providence the one in Rhode Island - Phil Vinci
Emery Churches And Serial Killers There is a part of me that always sees the easy way out (Is this the easy way?)
If it doesn't hurt, then not another word (then take me back inside...)
You keep the reasons all but hidden, it feels like we will drown (is this is where we were...)
Do I hold on, when it's so far gone?
- Jonathan S.
10cc Dreadlock Holiday I don't like reggae, I love it - DonaldG
Fall Out Boy (Coffee's For Closers) I will never believe in anything again
I will never believe in anything again
Change will come, oh, change will come
I will never believe in anything again

[Note: Those parentheses are not a misprint. That's the way the title is printed on the back cover of their album 'Folie a Deux'. - Jonathan S.
Jefferson Starship Things to Come The line "I'll be your lifeline" repeated four times. No mention of the title anywhere in the lyrics, though. - Sutch

The 88 At Least It Was Here I can't count the reasons I should stay./One by one, they all just fade away. (Note: Theme song from "Community".) - Brian Kelly
