Artists who have songs which have the same name as an album, but aren't on that album

Elliott Smith - Figure 8 (possibly unique among these in that it's a cover)

Sorta on topic:

XTC - The phrase "orange and lemon" appears in the lyrics of the album before Oranges and Lemons, and the word "nonsuch" on the album before Nonsuch

Maybe Partridge just has an appallingly limited vocabulary and uses those phrases in conversation all the time?

The Joy Formidable - Wolf's Law

the phrase "Apple Venus" is on "Then She Appeared" too

I think the first two times were unintentional, but when someone pointed it out to Partridge he skimmed the Nonsuch lyrics for a good album title

ELP had a song called "Brain Salad Surgery" which was cut from the album, presumably for "Benny the Bouncer"

funny thing about that was I downloaded it from KaZaa back in the day where it was tagged as [unreleased, extremely rare], which led me to believe it was something that had gotten secretly leaked from "the vaults" and really wasn't available anywhere else. I later found out it was on Works Volume 2, lol

Beat Happening - Dreamy

in the late 90s someone put this song on a mixtape for me, I was v disappointed when I mail-ordered the album a couple of years later that the song wasn't on it

gotta love this place. you guys are great company, thank you.

anyway- sorry for the tangential, only semi-relevant revive but something i've always thought about is albums with ambiguous title tracks. the topic of this thread raises an interesting question: do albums like winter in america or houses of the holy really have title tracks? idk, what do you think?

main question for the revive and inspired by recent activity from the cure: what is the title track on their album wish?

reason i ask: the word appears in the title of one song - "to wish impossible things" - but appears as a major plot point in the last track "end." maybe this is too obvious of an answer and i'm overthinking it.

Television "Adventure" got dropped from "Adventure", but eventually got added to "Adventure" as an extra track bonus

cp to Austin:

the hidden title track of Omah Lay’s Boy Alone is “Never Forget”, its best and deepest cut, at the hinge point of the album, right in the middle, which has him chanting Boy Alone Lay, oh, Boy Alone Lay, Boy Alone Lay, oh Boy Alone Lay in the (post-?)chorus.

Makes me think of Agents if Fortune by Blue Oyster Cult, which has no ostensible title track, but includes the song “E.T.I. (Extra Terrestrial Intelligence)”, which does not features those specific words but does have a line about “agents of fortune.”

ETI from Agents of Fortune by Blue Oyster Cult. Does not include eti (or extra terrestrial intelligence) in the lyrics but does make mention of “agents of fortune.”

Wow, sorry for the extra posts! Blaming it on the phone.

And the cat was distracting me.

Am I right in thinking Agents of Fortune by Blue Oyster Cult has no ostensible title track, but includes the song “E.T.I. (Extra Terrestrial Intelligence)”, which does not features those specific words but does have a line about “agents of fortune.”?
