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

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.

Band		Song		Comments & Submittor Name
Fair To Midland		Dance of the Manatee		Hang us those limbs, hold no virtue, Those told to hold, project on my cue, until we fall - Matt Barnett
Faith No More		Epic		What...is...it? Video is famous for the "fish out of water" scene at the end. - Bud Hoffman
Fall Out Boy		A Little Less Sixteen Candles, A Little More "Touch Me"		I'm sleeping on your folk's porch again, dreaming She said, she said, she said, "Why don't you just drop dead?" I don't blame you for being you But you can't blame me for hating it So say, what are you waiting for? Kiss her, kiss her I set my clocks early 'cause I know I'm always late - Jonathan S.
Fall Out Boy		I Slept With Someone in Fall Out Boy and All I Got Was This Stupid Song Written About Me		Lyrics include "It's so fitting, so fitting of the way you are / You can't cover it up, can't cover it up! / So douse yourself in cheap perfume" and "Someone old / No one new / Feeling borrowed / Always blue", but never anything about sleeping with a Fall Out Boy member - Kerry
Fall Out Boy		Champagne For My Real Friends, Real Pain For My Sham Friends		Strike us like matches, cause everyone deserves the flames We only do it for the scars and stories, not the fame - Katy
Fall Out Boy		Don't You Know Who I Think I Am?		They say quitters never win But we walk the plank on a sinking ship There's a world outside of my front door That gets off on being down - Jonathan S.
Fall Out Boy		The Take Over, The Breaks Over		Baby seasons change but people dont - Coolrick92
Fall Out Boy		(Coffee's For Closers)		I will never believe in anything again I will never believe in anything again Change will come, oh, change will come I will never believe in anything again [Note: Those parentheses are not a misprint. That's the way the title is printed on the back cover of their album 'Folie a Deux'. - Jonathan S.
Fall Out Boy		Our Lawyer Made Us Change The Name Of This Song So We Wouldn't Get Sued		Just looked at the lyrics for this one; apparently, it repeats the line "we're all liars" a lot. Fall Out Boy has a habit of coming up with ridiculously long titles for their songs. I think next to none of 'em are actually mentioned in the songs, though. - Jonathan S.
Fall Out Boy		Pavlove		I'm the invisible man Who can't stop staring at the mirror, at the mirror I want to make you as lonely as me So you can get, get addicted to this You can get, get addicted to this now - Jonathan S.

Fatboy Slim		The Rockafeller Skank		Right about now, the funk soul brother. Check it out now, the funk soul brother. - Brian Kelly
Feeder		Buck Rogers		Should've been called "A Brand New Car" or "I Think We're Gonna Make It". Not once do they mention "Buck Rogers" in the song. - Steve
Feeder		Yesterday Went Too Soon		Interestingly, the B-side "Getting to Know You Well" almost mentions this song's title: "Wish it could stay like this / Cause yesterday went away too soon". - Nat
Filter		Captain Bligh		I am a grieving man / I can't believe the things I've done to you / I am a guilty man / I can't believe the things I've done to you - Jonathan S.
Filter		Gerbil		How'd you lose us? - JohnHowarth
Filter		Take A Picture		"'Cuz you don't wanna take my picture" - Rich Connelly
Finger Eleven		Paralyzer		Close, but... The singer mentions that he's not "paralyzed", but it is assumed that the person he is singing about is the "paralyzer". Thus, no mention in the song. - rocky
Fitz & The Tantrums		The Walker		Oh, here we go Feel it in my soul Really mean it, mean it, so go Gotta feed it - heart, it takes control Really mean it, mean it - Jonathan S.
Fitz And The Tantrums		Spark		Don't they know, the speaker is about to explode? Don't they know, this building is about to blow? This building is about to Blow, oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh Oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh - Jonathan S.
Fitz And The Tantrums		6AM		It's 6 in the morning, I'm still awake My sleepless heart is torn up, babe A love song's on the radio, But these words I hear – they're not for me, no. [Note: It's true, "6AM" and "six in the morning" are the same thing, but the singer never uses the former (the song's official title), only the latter.] - Jonathan S.
Five Finger Death Punch		M.I.N.E (End This Way)		M.I.N.E is supposed to be "mine", but only End This Way is mentioned instead - Spiderskull98
Five For Fighting		Superman (It's Not Easy)		Of all the songs that have "Superman" in the title, this is the only song that doesn't contain that word anywhere in the lyrics. - MOR
The Fleetwoods		Come Softly To Me		The title as a whole does not appear. There are several choruses of "Come softly, Darling" and "Come to me, sta-a-y". So naturally some listeners thought the title was "Come Softly, Darling". - MOR
Flight Of The Conchords		Robots		Would've made a lot more sense to call it "The Humans Are Dead" (repeated throughout the chorus) or "The Distant Future, The Year 2000" (repeated at the beginning of the track) - Jonathan S.
Flo Rida		G.D.F.R.		G.D.F.R. is an abbreviation for Goin' Down for Real. - JohnHowarth
A Flock Of Seagulls		Space Age Love Song		I saw your eyes, And you made me smile; For a little while I was falling in love. - British Bullcrap
For Squirrels		Mighty K.C.		This dedication to Kurt Cobain doesn't mention his initials, let alone his name. - Brian Kelly
Forever the Sickest Kids		I Don't Know About You, But I Came to Dance		Not really said anywhere, the better title would be the most repeated line "I'm a sucker for lovers". - Alex
The Format		The First Single		"So let’s make a list of who we need It’s not much, if anything Make a list of who we need And we’ll throw it away ‘Cause we don’t need anyone." - Katy

Four Seasons		Opus #17		Is this the call-and-response song to the Toy's 'Lovers Concerto'? - Paul Warren
Franz Ferdinand		Auf Asche		Despite its German title, the entire song is sung in English - Alan of Seville
Fratellis		Baby Fratelli		Alright, everybody says she's alright. - Time Machine
The Fratellis		Chelsea Dagger		Known for being the theme of the Chicago Blackhawks. Oddly enough, the two halves of the name are mentioned separately in the song, but not together. It's kind of surprising this hasn't been posted yet. - Jonathan S.
Fratellis		Whistle For The Choir		The closest you'll get to this title appearing in the lyrics is the whistling solo in the middle of the song! - Time Machine
The Fray		We Build Then We Break		Hold your breath, till it's over, there's something left underwater. - Dongquan
Friend & Lover		Reach Out Of The Darkness		They say "Reach out IN the darkness" rather than "Reach out OF the darkness." - Isac
Fuel		Hemorrhage (In My Hands)		The only part of the title that is mentioned is the part in parentheses. - MOR
