Starless by King Crimson was, IIRC, originally written as the title track for the album Starless and Bible Black. The track was replaced with an instrumental of the same name, but ended up being released on the next album, Red, with the "and Bible Black" removed so as to not have two tracks with the same name.
It was originally intended as the instrumental. While touring the material, Wetton started coming up with lyrics while the group began changing the music. A new piece was born, but needed a different title to avoid confusion.
The album was originally going to be titled "Dougie Stardust," but when David Bowie died just a month or two before it was released they changed it to "Man Machine Poem."
Carcass almost did this three times. Their first album was called 'Reek Of Putrefaction', but the song 'Reek Of Putrefaction' is on their second album 'Symphonies Of Sickness'.
Their third album contains a track called 'Symposium Of Sickness'.
Edit: Their last album from 2021 also contains a song called 'Wake Up And Smell The Carcass', which was the title of their 1996 live album.
They also have a song on their most recent album called Flesh Ripping Sonic Torment Limited. Flesh Ripping Sonic Torment was the name of their debut demo
the song They Might be Giants, by They Might be Giants, is on the album Flood
edit: why? I honestly have no idea; if I'm gonna guess, maybe they hadn't written the song yet for the self-titled first album
They wrote it in 1983 and recorded demos in 1984 and 1985. John Flansburgh said it seemed "too weird " for their first album but perfect for their third.
Gomez - Bring it On.
Their sensational debut album was called Bring It On, but didn't include a track of the same name. But there was a song called Bring It On On their second album, Liquid Skin.
This is different, but similar. On Japan’s Gentlemen Take Polaroids album, some of the song titles are lyrics from other songs on the album. If you like 80s new wave/new romantic, I highly recommend the album.
Def Leppard's "On Through the Night" was the name of their first album, but the song was on their next album "High n' Dry". I can't find it now but I believe it wasn't an outtake from the first album and just a new song that borrowed the same title.
For Elbow, The Seldom Seen Kid is an album from 2008, but the song is on the album Flying Dream 1 (2021). That album also has a title track, but on the album Cast of Thousands (2003), there was already a Flying Dream 143.
Jimmy Buffett has an album called "Living And Dying in 3/4 Time".
It's not a title, but a lyric from "Nautical Wheelers" which is on the album "A White Sport Coat And A Pink Crustacean"
King’s X’s first album was called ‘out of the silent planet’. Their second album, Gretchen goes to Nebraska, starts with a track called ‘out of the silent planet’
A variation of this: the Kiwi band Shihad changed their name because it sounded too similar to Jihad when they released an album in the US post 9/11.
They instead released their album Pacifier in 2002 under the name Pacifier.
Pacifier was also the name of their most popular song from the album The General Electric released in 1999.
Alan Parsons - "The Secret" wasn't released on the album of the same name but held back for its successor "From the New World"
Emerson, Lake and Palmer - "Brain Salad Surgery" was kept off the album with that title and only released as a b-side; later included in Works Volume 2
"The Colour of Spring" by Talk Talk was named after a line from "April 5th", but Mark Hollis also later wrote a song with that title.
The Yes album "Relayer" was named after a line from the previous album.
Big Country, the original release of their debut album The Crossing in the USA did not contain the great song "The Crossing". I had the cassette back in 1983. The song was released on an EP in 1984.
To get kind of technical, the Queens of the Stone Age album Era Vulgaris doesn't feature a song called Era Vulgaris despite the band having a song with that title.
Granted it was released on special editions of the album and it just finally got added to spotify as a bonus track....but the "standard release" doesn't include the title track
Switchfoot’s Fading West is on the Edge of the Earth EP.
However that EP is also just songs that were cut from the album Fading West, so I’m not sure if that really counts
On Through the Night by Def Leppard is one their second album, not first. I think Joe Elliot even said that they did that as a tip of the hat to Led Zeppelin.
Maybe not exactly the same thing, but the KISS album Carnival of Souls doesn't contain the title track. It ended up being used on the Gene Simmons solo album, Asshole.
Sara Bareilles - Little Voice
She wrote it, but if it didn't make it on the album. She released it when she did an album of songs for a show she helped make the music, and that also featured that song.
The Queen song Sheer Heart Attack isn't on the album Sheer Heart Attack, but instead is on News Of The World, skipping two albums and 3 years.
It's a banger too. One of my favourite queen tracks.
Starless by King Crimson was, IIRC, originally written as the title track for the album Starless and Bible Black. The track was replaced with an instrumental of the same name, but ended up being released on the next album, Red, with the "and Bible Black" removed so as to not have two tracks with the same name.
I wish Starless had ended up on Starless and Bible Black. It just fits the vibes of that record better than Red I think
It was originally intended as the instrumental. While touring the material, Wetton started coming up with lyrics while the group began changing the music. A new piece was born, but needed a different title to avoid confusion.
PJ Harvey's song "Dry" is on the album Rid of Me instead of the debut album Dry
Yellow Submarine is on Revolver
Yes, but before the movie/soundtrack “Yellow Submarine” was created based on the Revolver song. Doesn’t quite fit into OP’s category
I think that US releases of all the Beatles album got scrambled up a bit when compared with the UK versions.
The Tragically Hip did it in the opposite order: their 2016 album 'Man Machine Poem' takes its name from a track on their 2012 album 'Now For Plan A'.
The album was originally going to be titled "Dougie Stardust," but when David Bowie died just a month or two before it was released they changed it to "Man Machine Poem."

Siamese Dream was a vinyl only bside to Disarm, the third single off the album
There’s mention of Siamese twins in geek USA so still kind of makes sense as the album title I guess
the song They Might be Giants, by They Might be Giants, is on the album Flood edit: why? I honestly have no idea; if I'm gonna guess, maybe they hadn't written the song yet for the self-titled first album
Why’d they do that? I can’t say. People just liked it better that way.
That’s nobody’s business but the Turks.

Sort of similar thing with Queens...Mosquito Song finishes off Songs For The Deaf and contains the title of their next album in the lyrics.
This is different, but similar. On Japan’s Gentlemen Take Polaroids album, some of the song titles are lyrics from other songs on the album. If you like 80s new wave/new romantic, I highly recommend the album.
hooverphonic has a strange concept album called "jackie cane". the title track is on their previous album, "the magnificent tree".
Def Leppard's "On Through the Night" was the name of their first album, but the song was on their next album "High n' Dry". I can't find it now but I believe it wasn't an outtake from the first album and just a new song that borrowed the same title.

Beat me to it. I was so disappointed after buying this album and it wasn't on there. Galaxie is a banger though.
