Deacon Blue - I'll Never Fall In Love Again

etc;

"I'm Not In Love" by Talking Heads! One of my favorite of theirs.

love->building on fire - talking heads (which is better than "im not in love", clearly)

Pagans "What's This Shit Called Love"
Queensryche "I Don't Believe in Love"

I love how "Love -> Building On Fire" has those Madness-y horn bits.

Which reminds me:

John Frusciante's "Your Pussy's Glued To A Building On Fire".

Although not exactly anti-love, it's not exactly a shimmery lovey dovey ballad of pleasant infatuation.

Either.
