Lyrics that appear in more than one song by the same artist

[Superblood Wolfmoon]

I can think of a few artists who have done this--repeat a passage of lyrics in multiple songs.

Sting - "O My God" and "Every Little Thing She Does is Magic"
Do I have to tell the story
Of a thousand rainy days
Since we first met
It's a big enough umbrella
But it's always me who ends up
Getting wet

Chris Cornell - "Sound of a Gun" and "Drown Me Slowly"
The open mouth of the city
Swallowed up the town
With the same old concrete
That I still walk down
And it seemed they put a shine
On this place when I was young
Maybe I just don't see it now

Any others?

[tragabigzanda]

Top 10 maybe?
Hello Morning
Close Captioned
The Kill
Place/Position
Do You Like Me?
Latest Disgrace
Recap Modotti
Nightshop
Break
Life & Limb

I'd maybe bump Life & Limb for Epic Problem

Finger Back and Harmony Hall.

I think Van Morrison uses the phrases "gardens all misty wet with rain" and "listen to the radio, jelly roll" in about 35 different songs

[oasisfan35]

Lumineers with Sleep on the Floor off Cleopatra and Life in the City off III:

"If the sun don't shine on me today
And if the subways flood and bridges break
Will you lay yourself down and dig your grave
Or will you rail against your dying day"

Which really irked me, especially with the Cleopatra name drop, as I adore Sleep on the Floor.

[Jammer XCI]

Hip hop as a whole is the king of this.

Can't let this thread stand without mentioning Hootie.

[bodysnatcher]

I don't know why I feel so tongue tied
Don't know why I feel so skinned alive

Pearl Jam, "Porch" and "1/2 Full":

There ain't gonna be any middle anymore

He even says “it’s been said before” right after
