Fugitive - the only song without the title in the lyrics?

Has anyone else noticed that Fugitive is maybe the only PSB song where the title is not sung in the song itself? (I may be wrong though and there may be one other song where the same happened, but I really don't recall now.)

I'd believe "euroboy" is vocoderized throughout the song

-The Night I Fell In Love
-Between Two Islands
-The Calm Before The Storm
-All Or Nothing
+ Paninaro'95! The number doesn't appear in the lyrics!

Cheers!

Plus of course God Willing, if that counts. PSB are indeed surprisingly literal, I'd have thought there would have been tracks without the title in them.

On the subject of lyrics, those to My Head Is Spinning (on the official site) are great!!

My head is spinning

My head is spinning
My head is spinning
My head is spinning
My head is spinning
My head is spinning
My head is spinning
My head is spinning
My head is spinning

Class!!!

And "Vampires" too. In the song you only ever hear "vampire" and never the plural of the actual word.

here's complete list:

Between two islands
The calm before the storm
Fugitive
K-Hole
The night I fell in love
Postscript
All or nothing
Paninaro '95
Vampires
Je t'aime...moi non plus
I don't know what you want but I can't give it anymore

others don't count 'cause they're instrumentals (

I don't think "I don't know..." counts...

well, the "official" printed lyrics include the repeated title verbatim in the chorus. But, Neil doesn't sing the pronoun "I" before "don't know what you want but I can't give it any more." Maybe he "clips" it so much 'cause it's barely noticeable.

Wayne's right about that!

There's rarely any point in giving songs names other than the obvious hook / chorus.

(The strange names of New Order tracks has always been a curiosity. I remember an interview with Bernard at about the time of Republic where he said that sometimes they used to write down random names for tracks and then just assign the names to tracks after an album was finished. On Technique, I don't think there's a single track that does include the title in the lyric . . . .)
