    Mentions of "photographs" in lyrics

    1. Bookends by Simon and Garfunkel (Long ago, it must be... I have a photograph)

    Heard this on the radio earlier and wondered how many others there are (and from how diverse a range of artists)?

    A Flock of Seagulls had "wishing I had a photograph of you".

    J. Geils Band had centrefold which is a photograph of sorts.

      “I've got your picture, I've got your picture
      I'd like a million of ya over myself
      I want a doctor to take your picture
      So I can look at you from inside as well”

            Some photographs of a summer's day
            A little boy's lifetime away
            Is all I've left of everything we've done

            Billy Bragg's beautiful Tank Park Salute

              'Photograph' by everybody's favourite joke band Nickleback?

              I tried to upload an accompanying 'photograph' but OTF's image uploader is having one of those days.

                In Penny Lane, there is a barber showing photographs
                Of every head he's had the pleasure to know

                      So take the photographs
                      And still frames in your mind
                      Hang it on a shelf
                      In good health and good time

                          Local boy in the photograph. The Stereophonics redeeming feature.

                                I can almost hear a laugh
                                coming from your photograph
                                Funny how a look can share a thousand meanings

                                  Your post reminded me of 'the first picture of you' by the lotus eaters.

                                    ...which might or might not have been a work of art rather than a photograph. (I excluded Pictures of Matchstick Men on those grounds.)

                                      "She told my baby we'd danced till three, then she looked at me
                                      Then showed a photo of a baby cryin', his eyes were like mine"

                                          And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep at home

                                            Melanie, most famous for her brand new pair of rollerskates, later released an album called Photograph, which had a title track.

                                            OTF favourite Gary Numan also had a track called Photograph, but it is an instrumental (and is actually quite good), so he is disqualified for not "mentioning".

                                              Air have a track called Photograph too, with the word in the lyrics. It's not very good.

                                                Maybe cheating (it's about a photographer after all), but I immediately thought of:

                                                Watching the things I do
                                                Cindy of a thousand lives
                                                Cindy of the Stepford Wives
                                                I've looked at all the photographs
                                                But Cindy, which one of them was you?

                                                  Manic Street Preachers Kevin Carter, no mention of the actual word but clearly about photographs.
