Title casing queries re: "on"

Hello.

I am curious how to use correct title case with the word "on".

If a title was "Beans on Toast", the "on" would be lower case. No confusion.

But if the title was "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" or "Take On Me", should it be upper case "On" because the "on" becomes part of the verb (Shine On, Take On)?

Thanks.
