Dancing with the Moonlit Knight: Paperlate
And, of course, that's probably the only case where a later Genesis song's title actually came from the earlier song's lyrics!
Many Too Many - Mama
Supper's Ready - The Musical Box
Stagnation - The (ice-cold) Knife
The Light Dies Down On Broadway - The Light
I've been wondering if this obscure reference was an inside joke: 'The Light' used to be a 10min.+ song of which only few passages survived in Lilywhite Lilith and bits of The Colony of Slippermen, so we can say indeed that The Light has died down on Broadway.
In The Glow Of The Night (Domino) - Window
Hearts On Fire - It
Window - Horizons
Throwing It All Away - it
Get Em Out by Friday - it
Domino - it
The Lamia - Ripples
Like It Or Not (and probably several others) - Anyway
Stagnation - The (ice-cold) Knife
Personally, I don't think that one counts!
Hearts On Fire - It
I was wondering if anyone else would think of "It." Too many songs to count for that one, I'm sure!
'The Light' used to be a 10min.+ song
Just to nitpick a little -- the one recorded performance of "The Light" that survives lasts approximately 8:50.
Yes I agree "the ice-cold knife" is stretching the idea too far. But I love the notion of selecting one specific song to illustrate the inclusion of 'it', I have to say that gave me a chuckle.
Like It Or Not (and probably several others) - Anyway
Gosh - you've found it! I'd been searching so long in vain for a song containing 'anyway' 😕
Gosh - you've found it! I'd been searching so long in vain for a song containing 'anyway' 😕
Which reminds me -- I forgot about this one:
Frustration - Anyway
That is, of course, where the title (and the music) for "Anyway" came from!
Tell me why this is a land of confusion!
There are many references to songs (not Genesis) throughout TLLDOB. To the point where I've periodically considered compiling a list, before real life takes over again. Perhaps one has already been made?
Three quick examples (IIRC are many more, but haven't refreshed my memory for a while):
"There's Howard Hughes in blue suede shoes" - Broadway Melody of 1974
"And as the song and dance begins, the children play at home
with needles; needles and pins." - Broadway Melody of 1974
'
'cos it's only knock and knowall, but I like it.' - It
I'm sure there are many others I've noticed over years of listening, as well as others I've not picked up on.
Anyone got any more?
My Little Runaway - In the Cage
Paindrops / Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head - In the Cage
"They say the lights are always bright on Broadway..."
Too obvious for me. 
There's also "Money Honey" in the title track.
Tell Me Why, which I mentioned above, is also a Beatles song from A Hard Day's Night. 
I know the Genesis song isn't from TLLOB but....
Sorry, this isn't songs or lyrics but I heard of a music festival in PA called Some Kind Of Jam. Couldn't resist mentioning it.
And Lilywhite Lilith features a band (The Darkness) and an award (Golden Globes).
Anyway, carry on.
