In a Lonely Place
But as far as bona fide NO goes, probably Touched By the Hand of God or Thieves Like Us.
NO had a smart propensity to name their songs after films or reference films in their lyrics. There's a toss up of many intriguing titles; I think this added to the allure and the enigma. For me, Everything's Gone Green is a cool and weird title. It's the kind of title that fits the atmosphere of the track brilliantly, to my mind. Other great titles? PCL probably takes the cake all around: not a bad title among the tracks. This Time of Night is very cool as is Vanishing Point.
leave me alone. wow a new order song question that i did not answer with run. run is mint too.
Best on each album: Doubts Even Here, We All Stand, Love Vigilantes, Weirdo, Dream Attack, Ruined In A Day, Vicious Streak, WFTSC Singles, etc: In A Lonely Place, Thieves Like Us, TBTHOG and I love a lot of the remix/B-Side 'alternate' names: The Beach, True Dub, TBTHODub...

Judging by the titles alone: The Perfect Kiss Dracula's Castle Subculture State of the Nation True Faith Young Offender Angel Dust Behind Closed Doors Guilt is a useless emotion Bizarre Love Triangle This time of night Dream Attack
I tend not to notice titles to be honest. Never did know whether they named Ceremony, or whether Ian had. On the only setlist it made, it was entitled "new one".
As I already said, I am fascinated by the word Shellschock Dream attack sounds weird to me. A strange couple of words. The Him, ICB... Subculture. I like this word too.
I also like Low Life. In French, this word is translated by Survie (Upon Life). I prefer the fact that it is a lower life more than a upper one. Low suits more this concept.
Enfin, je me comprends, c'est l'essentiel...

Say, isn't this the plot of one of those fatal instinct-type movies?

I wondered how they came up with them-- it seemed slightly random since some weren't mentioned in the respective song/lyrics/chorus and I wish they would still do it. I think after Technique is when they stopped doing that.
