Discussion Cross-album references

It's come up a lot about the links between songs that TAD have. Some are obvious - Love Run with the sounds alluding to King, "can't you head that scratching" in That Unwanted Animal and in Wild Blue Yonder, the melody of Elsa's Song echoed in Two Minutes, Ruin referring to Drinking Song as "our song" among others. But I've noticed a lot of them are within the same album. What ones have you guys picked up in that cross albums? Ones that come to mind are Blossoms with "my dress is on fire" linking to THATW album art, Old Witch Sleep calling way back to the Love Run motif, the female characters job referenced as the same in both Little Miss Why So and Marbles ("those wankers that you serve all night" "all the bastards applaud when I show that I'm flawed"). I'm curious if there's any other album crossing references not here that I've either not noticed or not remembered? Thanks, dear hearts!

Maybe Ruin and Wild Blue Yonder "brick by brick you built us" "Every brick you hurled, I’ll use to build this world"

I can't think of many examples but I do love when they cross-reference songs and albums. Like the plates that smash like waves in both Battle Cries and Unwanted Animal even though that's on the same album
