Studies in loneliness and isolation
Invisible

I don't wanna
Compelling people
A certain 'Je ne sais quoi'
A face like that

Not so much a lyrical theme, but this thread got me thinking about dogs in PSB songs, did I miss any?:
Dogs:
I want a dog
Suburbia
I'm not scared
It's a dog (this is a a future song, inspired by my username).

From my Lyrics search engine:
Transfer (Visionaire mix)
want a little country house/a dog and a car/Giving...
The calm before the storm
Dragonflies skim the swimming pool / The dog...
Girls don’t cry
is a dog-eared polaroid / a picture of a girl with her arm
