* RefrainFromAssuming: "Breakfast In America" is not "Take a Look at My Girlfriend".
* RhymingWithItself: "Breakfast In America" rhymes girlfriend with girlfriend.
* RockstarSong: "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.
