New Wave Outpost Forum

I think in 99% of all songs, the title is found in the song lyrics. How many new wave songs can you name where the title isn't found anywhere within the lyrics of the song?

Here are a few:

New Order - "Bizarre Love Triangle" "Blue Monday" "Age of Consent"
The Chameleons - "Tears" "Swamp Thing"
The Cure - "In Between Days" "Love Song"
The Clash - "Train in Vain"
U2 - "Bad" "God Part II"
R.E.M. - "Pop Song 89" "So. Central Rain"

Can anyone think of any others? And only songs with actual lyrics (no full-instrumentals) [:D]

Just about any New order song. They're notorious for that.

True Faith, Regret, World, Mr. Disco.....

Not so much on their last album though.
