** "Five Years", the opener to ''Music/TheRiseAndFallOfZiggyStardustAndTheSpidersFromMars'', is named after how much time Earth has left to live in the album's story.
** The sequel to ''Ziggy Stardust'', ''Music/AladdinSane'', features a song literally called "Time" about how suffocating the inevitable passage of years is.
** [[Music/StationToStation "Golden Years"]] is named after the period of time in which a person's life was at its most productive and fulfilling, typically their youth, tying in with the ironic lyrics about living life through a NostalgiaFilter.
** ''Music/NeverLetMeDown'' has two instances. "Day-In Day-Out", the opener, uses its title to invoke feelings of ennui and ironically juxtapose them against a portrait of a woman living in poverty. The track right after it is "Time Will Crawl", whose title refers to the approaching death of humanity after a nuclear disaster (having been inspired by UsefulNotes/{{Chernobyl}}).
** [[Music/{{Earthling}} "Seven Years in Tibet"]] is named as such after the 1957 novel of the same name, tying in with its lyrics about the killing of a Tibetan monk; incidentally, the song released 40 years after the book did.
** [[Music/{{Hours}} "Thursday's Child"]] derives its name from both a line in the nursery rhyme "Monday's Child" and a line in Music/TheVelvetUnderground's [[Music/TheVelvetUndergroundAndNico "All Tomorrow's Parties"]] (itself a reference to the nursery rhyme), tying in with the lyrics looking back on Bowie's life up to 1999.
** ''Music/TheNextDay'' and its TitleTrack take their names from Holy Saturday, the day between UsefulNotes/{{Jesus}}' crucifixion and resurrection, invoking it as a metaphor for Bowie's prolonged hiatus after an on-stage heart attack in 2004 and his feelings looking back on it.
** ''Music/BlackstarAlbum'' features two instances. "Sue (Or in a Season of Crime)" takes its subtitle refers to the period in ''Theatre/TisPityShesAWhore'' in which siblings Giovanni and Annabella have [[BrotherSisterIncest an affair with one another]], being Bowie's adaptation of the play. Meanwhile, "Dollar Days", the penultimate track on the album, is named after a term for days when stores sell items at very low prices.
