Names -> Song Titles Not Used as Lyrics -> A
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.

| Adamski featuring Seal | Killer | On the original version, the word "Killer" does not appear. In Seal's version from his album he starts with the spoken sentence "it's the loneliness that's the killer" but not on the original with Adamski. Lyrics - "So you want. To be free. To live your life. The way you want to be." - James Pendleton | ||
| Alice Cooper | Teenage Lament '74 | Also known as "What Are You Gonna Do?", because he repeats this incessantly towrds the end. (But doesn't mention "Teenage lament".) - Rocky | ||
| All Saints | Pure Shores | I've listened to this song loads of times,and I just haven't heard it. - Natasha | ||

| Anne Murray | Danny's Song | Written by Kenny Loggins, Anne's version was a bigger hit. Sadly, Danny only appears in the title. The most well known section is probably: "And even though we ain't got money I'm so in love with ya honey Everything bring a chain of lo-o-o-o-ve" - Bob Borst | ||
| Anne Murray | Christmas Wishes | "If I Had My Way This Christmas" is the opening line, and hence a potential alternate "title". The lyrics do mention Christmas, as in the opening line, and also wishes. She enumerates three wishes in the lyrics, saying "My first wish" and "My third wish" at points, but never the phrase "Christmas Wishes". - Ava Murphy | ||
| Ash | Orpheus | "Sunshine in the Morning" is repeated in the chorus; "Orpheus" never actually appears in the song. - Rich | ||
| Audioslave | Hypnotize | Oh no, don't you keep your good luck to yourself. - Jonathan S. | ||
| Audioslave | Cochise | Go and save yourself Take it out on me - njdevil |
