The word 'title' is in quote marks in the subject heading because I'm thinking of songs that contain the titles of albums in the lyrics but don't share the titles of the albums themselves. A couple of examples:
"Warakurna" by Midnight Oil contains the title of the album Diesel and Dust. "Young Pilgrims" by The Shins contains the title of the album Chutes Too Narrow.

The Onlookers' Blue And Green And Tangerine is a line in the song "The People There". Reggie King's Looking For A Dream is taken from the song "All Up To Heaven".

First one that popped into my head is a kinda sorta: Steely Dan's "Katy Lied" comes from the song "Doctor Wu" - "Katie lies..."

- ...Nothing Like the Sun by Sting is found in the song "Sister Moon".
- Ryan Ferguson's Only Trying to Help is found in the song "Better Off".
- 10,000 Maniacs' Our Time Eden is found in the song "Eden", which almost makes it a title track proper.
- Another near title track is "Blue Sky Mine" by Midnight OiI which contains the words of the album title Blue Sky Mining.

Does the album have to have the song on it that it derived its title from?

Almost but not quite, the Midnight Oil EP " Species Deceases" has no song with that title, but the song "Pictures" contains the line "Don't wanna be a member of a species that's deceasin'".
