"Oil in My Lamp"

Originally, I noted that "Oil in My Lamp" is based on the Parable of the Ten Virgins in Matthew 25:1-13.  That passage is still applicable, but there's a stronger resemblance between the repeated line "Give me oil in my lamp; keep me burnin', burnin', burnin'" and Luke 12:35, where Jesus tells His disciples, "Stay dressed for action and keep your lamps burning."

"Fido"

In the lines "Wide awake, stayin' up late / Wishin' I was not" in "Fido," there are some poetic features that complement the meaning.  There's assonance between "Wide awake" and "stayin' up late," which highlights the relationship between the two phrases, and all of this contrasts, both semantically and poetically, with "Wishin' I was not."

"Pretty Boy Floyd"

In the lines "And along come a deputy sheriff in a manner rather rude / Using vulgar words of language; his wife, she overheard" in "Pretty Boy Floyd," there's a slant rhyme between "rude" and "overheard," and this indicates the indirect manner in which Pretty Boy Floyd's wife heard the sheriff.

"You're Still on My Mind"

In the lines "The jukebox is playin' a honky tonk song / 'One more,' I keep sayin', 'and then I'll go home'" in "You're Still on My Mind," there's a slant rhyme between "song" and "home," indicating that because the narrator is "Alone and forsaken," his home is incomplete.

"Dolphin's Smile"

In the line "Rainbow's end ev'rywhere" in "Dolphin's Smile," the three syllables of "ev'rywhere" are all sung to different pitches (B A E), musically giving a sense of that breadth.

"Get to You"

"Get to You" may have been inspired in part by Elvis Presley's "Trying to Get to You," written by Rosemarie McCoy and Charles Singleton.  The title phrase is nearly the same, and the songs also have a similar structure in that each verse ends with a variation of the same line.  The verses in "Get to You" end with the lines "But I really only want to get to you," "All the time it took me tryin' to get to you" (which contains the entire phrase from Elvis's song), and "But it took me twenty years to get to you."  Most of the verses in "Trying to Get to You" end with the line "Baby, tryin' to get to you," but the last ends with "When I was tryin' to get to you."

"Get to You" was written by Chris Hillman and Roger McGuinn.  I don't know if either was familiar with "Trying to Get to You," but in this interview (at ~3:17), McGuinn talks about how hearing Elvis's "Heartbreak Hotel" made him want to get a guitar, so in general terms at least, Elvis was an influence.

"Goin' Back"

In the line "I think I'm goin' back to the things I learned so well in my youth" in "Goin' Back," "well" is sung with a melisma (C# B), giving a sense of degree (for "so").

"Artificial Energy"

The first two lines of "Artificial Energy" are "Sittin' all alone now / I took my ticket to ride."  Since the words in the phrase "all alone" alliterate, there's a sense of the singularity of being alone.  The phrase "ticket to ride" in the second line seems to be a nod to the Beatles song of the same title.

"My Back Pages"

In "My Back Pages," the lines "Ah, but I was so much older then / I'm younger than that now" are sung to a melody something like

The first syllable of "older" (the C#) is sung with a longer value than any of the other notes, so musically, there's a sense of that greater degree (for just the comparative adjective itself or the modifying "so much").

"Renaissance Fair"

In the line "I hear music ev'rywhere" in "Renaissance Fair," the three syllables of "ev'rywhere" are sung to all different pitches (A E C#), providing a sense of that breadth.

"C.T.A. - 102"

In the lines "We just want to let you know / That we're ready for to go" in "C.T.A. - 102," one of the backing vocal parts sings "Go" with a melisma (E D C), giving a sense of movement.

"Psychodrama City"

In "Psychodrama City," the end of the line "Me and my friends got on a plane" ascends, and the end of the line "One of my friends got off again" descends (I'm not sure of the specific pitches for either line).  That the phrases go in different directions illustrates these opposites.  To some degree, the ascent and descent could also represent going up into the plane and down out of it.
