the only way out is the only way in-cliff richard.
The results of a superficial look through my cd collection:
Can blue men sing the whites (Bonzo Dog Band)
Careful with that axe, Eugene (Pink Floyd)
Dashing away with the smoothing iron (Manfred Mann)
Deserted cities of the heart (Cream)
Goodbye jungle telegraph (Julie Driscoll, Brian Auger & The Trinity)
Hubble bubble, toil and trouble (Manfred Mann)
Interstellar overdrive (Pink Floyd)
Love spark of high-heeled boys (Traffic)
Lucy in the sky with diamonds (Beatles)
Maxwell's silver hammer (Beatles)
Moustachioed daughters (Bonzo Dog Band)
Set the controls for the heart of the sun (Pink Floyd)
Shake your moneymaker (Fleetwood Mac)
Swlabr (Cream)
The bride stripped bare by 'bachelors' (Bonzo Dog Band)
The diamond hard blue apples of the moon (Nice)
The stars that play with laughing Sam's dice (Jimi Hendrix Experience)
Tubas in the moonlight (Bonzo Dog Band)
Wide-eyed girl on the wall (Small Faces)
And don't forget the best album title that has ever been devised: 'The hangman's beautiful daughter' by the Incredible String Band.
If you permit me to talk about classical music: many piano pieces by Erik Satie have titles like
Embryons dess?ch?s (Dehydrated embryos)
En habit de cheval (In horse's suit)
Trois morceaux en forme de poire (Three pear-shaped pieces)
