So many albums are named for one of the songs on the record, aka the title track. For example, Belle & Sebastian's Dear Catastrophe Waitress or Bob Dylan's Highway 61 Revisited.

But we've been gearing up for next week's Oake & Riley in the Afternoon featuring Chasity Brown at Sociable Cider Werks, and her new album Silhouette of Sirens is named after a lyric from her single "Drive Slow".

So for today's Coffee Break, what songs do you want to hear from albums that are named after a LYRIC in one of the songs?
