Song titles in different songs - ad nauseum

I'm fairly certain this has been done before, but starting a new thread is preferable to resurrecting an old one, right? Coincidence or not, here's what I have down.

"I really Hurt you, I don't know what to say," - Waiting for the Siren's Call

"And now your life is Running Wild," - Hey Now What You Doing

"You know it's not Too Late to try," - HNWYD

"And the sound in my head goes Round & Round," - Brutal

"I can't wait for the Sunrise high up in the sky," - Such a Good Thing

"I don't want the World to change," - Slow Jam

"From a war that must be won in the name of Truth" - Love Vigilantes

"Can you see your own dark faces dying In a Lonely Place," - Face Up

"The Shame of the Nation we'll never be" - State of the Nation

"Someone like you cannot be free, just like a lock without a key," - Weirdo (Chronologically impossible, but hey)

Don't forget some of their song titles have one word in a previously used song. Examples: "Run" and "Run Wild"; "World" and "World in Motion"; "Turn" and "Turn my Way".

This from Transmission:

We would have a fine time living in the night,

Yes they did plan it all mre than 20 years ago.

Some more JD foresight from Passover -

"And watch as they drop by the beach"

As It Is When It Was - "The streets are so empty at this time of night "

Before I even heard TTON and did not know the title of AIIWIW, I thought this song was it

I recall someone from the site mistook WFTSC with Turn once because of the "I don't know where to TURN when you're gone" line

Hello, M!

Someone else mentioned that "turn" is BS's favorite word; "I turn sideways to the sun" and other examples too numerous to mention.

Hello, P! Yes I remember that.

Up, down, TURN around! ;)

Beatrix Kiddo wrote: Hello, P! Yes I remember that.

They're so numerous that I can't think of any more at the moment.

"I like turning in the park/When it gets too late to turn"????

Still I think TURN isn't the word he likes most. What about his constant complaining about working too much and lack of money?

"I worked hard, to give you all the things that you need" - Love Less

"You waste your time like my money" - R&R

"You took my time and you took my money" - True Faith

etc.

Or not wanting to work hard, as in Turn My Way and Krafty.

Or ...

"You've gotta hold your head up high, you know it's not too late to try, you've gotta lift that heavy load, you've gotta get back in control"

and ...

"You've got to pull yourself together man, you've got to get back on your feet again, how can I ever make you understand you've got the world right in your hands"

Did you know how much I like Close Range, M?

For some reason I am prompted to ask, how do you think people who don't buy The Odyssey theory intepret Who's Joe?

I love Close Range too, P. Slow Jam and Rock the Shack, as well. Not sure about the others, but I truly believe Joe can't be noone else but Bernard's father.

I hope you won't be too offended, M, if I continue to view Slow Jam as one of the very worst things they've ever done?

I like RTS, though.

:(

Slow Jam or Working Overtime, P?

Slow Jam, M. In comparison to Slow Jam, WO is excellent. And it does have a really good 20 seconds starting at 1:48.

So you are offended, M? You wouldn't want me to pretend, would you?

Does it bother anyone else that, not only does he actually say the words "waiting for the sirens' call" in the song, its also the name of the album?

I prefer when the title of the song wasn't even mentioned in the song. I also like their unique album titles-- very ambiguous, very "new order."

It doesn't bother me if he says the title in OTHER songs :D

Never, P! Right now I'm having Slow Jam on a repeat!

Beatrix Kiddo wrote: Never, P! Right now I'm having Slow Jam on a repeat!

Better you than me, M!

Can you explain why you like it?

I like that kind of stuff It beats arithmetic

Can you explain why you dislike it, P?

Beatrix Kiddo wrote: Can you explain why you dislike it, P?

The music is boring and the lyrics are stupid, M.

Anyone noticed how often the word `die´ appears on Get Ready? Depressing record for sure! - besides Run Wild.

That was me, but it was when I hadn't heard both songs in their entirety (came from the album preview Nic sent back in March).

Was there not a live version, early, of Temptation that said perfect kiss?

Perhaps I should have tried to be somewhat more careful in my choice of words.

It's okay, P. Everyone's allowed to have an opinion.

Beatrix Kiddo wrote: It's okay, P. Everyone's allowed to have an opinion.

I'm glad to hear you feel that way, M.:)

What are your least favorite NO items, M? Guilt and what else?

Shellshock, Confusion (forgive me, P, I know you love them), Fine Time, Mr Disco and I told you so.

What about you?

Slow Jam and We All Stand, M.

I dislike FIne Time quite a bit also.

I do like Shellshock. Confusion not as much, but I like the Electroclash version, which you probably haven't bothered to hear, if you don't like the song to start with.

I have that one, P. And I can tell you that my fav version of Confusion is Fat Boy Who Sase - Vegas mix. :)

Have we both forgotten about Republic, P?

I don't often listen to Republic, M, but I don't dislike it as much as some do.

I don't care for RIAD. And I think Regret is way overrated.

You?

Ruined in a day??? P, now you've offended me. ;) I dislike Chemical and Young Offender. And I don't think Regret has been overrated, it's just that it sounds different (in a better way, of course) than other Republic songs which sound very much like Pet Shop Boys. Not that I have anything about PSB but I don't like NO sounding like them.

What about Times Change and Avalanche?

Avalanche-boring, Times Change-underrated. I really like TC, music is beautiful.

Do you like Everyone Everywhere?

EE never really did much for me. I know a lot of people like it.

The weird thing about Slow Jam (or Slow Death as the erstwhile Huntsman amusingly used to say) is that the song has been played on Australian TV almost every day since the release of GR. It's featured in the ad for Ford's flagship model here - the Falcon and the "Can't get enough of this" is the slogan for the car. It's quite tastefully done and to be honest, hearing it in this context over the years has actually made me appreciate the song more.

Of course if Pats ever came down here, watching our TV may indeed induce a Slow Death.

:\pimp3:

... says Patrick 4444. I'll drink to that!

Here's P 4445, M. Thanks!

Actually, DC, Slow Death was my term.

When I visit Australia, someone remind me not turn the TV on.

I'm not sure that H would take kindly to being called a corpse, DC. And he'd be the first to acknowledge that Slow Death was MINE.

A metaphorical corpse, P! I do suspect it was one of yours as you certainly don't seem like the type who'd take credit for others' handiwork.

Anyhow it was a memorable one, up there in the comical sphere of Turn My Feet.

Turn My Feet was his. I tended to prefer Turn My Face to the Wall. Or was it Turn My Back?

While it doesn't ultimately matter very much to me, I agree with you, Vince. I always like the ambiguity of their titles and the obscure relationship between them and the song itself. Of course, many of the titles were chosen at random, but it's still fun to think of ways they are relevant.

now that you're talking about Republic, what do you think of Special? i think together with Regret, are the best tracks on thr album.

Catchy but nothing special:D It's a good pop song after all but not better than Everyone Everywhere

And in a single breath this world is gone

• Everyone Everywhere

Let the world cry, watch the birds sing

• Young Offender

Just another day in the brotherhood

• Chemical

I think it would be best if I listened to the album afresh before continuing this discussion. It would be more meaningful that way.

No mention of "confusion" in Atmosphere?
