Please list those songs that you really like where the title is only mentioned once in the lyrics.
Here are some of mine that come to mind at the moment.
New Order: Regret, 60 Miles an Hour
China Crisis: You Did Cut Me
Squeeze: Up the Junction
Blancmange: Living On The Ceiling

This is a lot trickier than your other thread about the ones that don't mention the title. All I can think of is The White Stripes - Seven Nation Army.

Kashmir, yes. One of my absolute favourites! How did I miss it.

I didn't realize that it was mentioned at all and had considered putting it into the other thread!
