Song Names -> Song Titles Not Used as Lyrics -> E

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.

Could've fooled me, 'cause I bought it - Jonathan S.
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...)
