Gordon's Revenge - The Macc Lads

(warning - it's probably still on youtube if you want to listen to it, but you might want to wait until after you've had your tea, and don't let your wife / girlfriend / mother hear it etc.)

Abacab - Genesis

'Abacab' turns up about half a dozen times or so in the song

(When they show it) You stop and stare
(Abacab) He's in anywhere
(Abacab)
I can come up with the following

The Return of the Giant Hogweed - Genesis
Firth of Fifth - Genesis
The Musical Box - Genesis (AFAIK)
Milgram's 37 - Peter Gabriel
Passion - Utada (Note: this song is mostly in Japanese, however, neither the English or the Japanese word for Passion turn up in the song)
Muscle Museum - Muse
Bliss - Muse
Uprising - Muse
Anthem - The Sensational Alex Harvey Band

Madness - The Prince (I think)

That is an interesting one, I've heard two different versions of the song, one of which ends with 'Bring Back The Prince', but the other version doesn't. I'm not entirely sure if Return of the Los Palmas 7 counts, it's technically an instrumental but somebody does shout 'Waiter!' at some point!

I can think of How Soon Is Now and Wonderful Woman by The Smiths, and Reptilia by The Strokes.

A few by The Smiths off the top of my head here (there are more):

"The Headmaster Ritual"
"Barbarism Begins At Home"
"Rusholme Ruffians"
"Asleep"
"Suffer Little Children"
"Nowhere Fast"
"Meat Is Murder"
"I Started Something I Couldn't Finish"
"Paint A Vulgar Picture"
"Death At One's Elbow"

Don't get me started on The Fall or we'll be here all night.

Errm, doesn't the title form the chorus of this..? :|

Meat Loaf - Life is a Lemon

*sings* Life is a lemon and I want my money back
Failing to see your point there.

Linkin Park - Faint
Muse - Knights of Cydonia
The Allman Brothers Band - Jessica (if that's allowed)
Paramore - Misery Business (Technically the opening line is "I'm in the business of misery" But the words misery and business are not used in the same order as the title.)
Eminem - Under the Influence
Sum 41 - Crazy Amanda Bunkface

I'll think of more. I'm usually better at these sort of things.
