Can you use another band's lyric as title?
Are there any copyright issues with naming a song or album after a lyric written by a different artist?

I don't think so unless its really obvious. The heavy metal band, Bring Me The Horizon, get their name from when Cpt Jack Sparrow says 'Now, bring me that horizon' an they've obviously had no copyright issues

I am pretty sure that that is ok, as long as you don't copy the actual song. Like, ok, if you DO chose me as a best answer, you could give me an example. But if I do know what you are talking about, my example is like, there are plenty of songs called Little Things. Lots. So as long aas you don't copy the actual song, I'm pretty sure that it is ok.
