Rock-Star Song: "Take the Long Way Home" is about how a musician would spend a lot of time on the road and would suffer from homesickness and a broken relationship with his wife.

Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism: "The Logical Song" starts out with the narrator being young and idealistic before taking a firm cynical turn.

Non-Appearing Title: "The Logical Song" (the word "logical" does show up, but without "song"), "Breakfast in America" (both "breakfast" and "America" appear, but not together) and "Just Another Nervous Wreck" (the closest approach is "everyone's a nervous wreck now").

Horrible Hollywood: "Gone Hollywood" is about a man who moved to Hollywood and grown increasingly disenchanted with it. The final verse is more hopeful though, with the narrator making the big time after trying for some time.
