Razorlight is a four-piece consisting of Borrell (vocals & guitar), Björn Ågren (guitar), Carl Dalemo (bass) and Andy Burrows (drums)
Their debut album, Up All Night, was released on June 28, 2004, reaching number 3 in the UK album charts on 4 July. The critical reception was generally good, receiving good reviews from NME, Q magazine and Billboard, although they were also accused of lack of imagination and unoriginality for allegedly borrowing ideas from other influential bands, notably The Strokes. They appear to polarize opinion. NME wrote that the album: "bristles with passion, energy and, most importantly, amazing songs", while they were described elsewhere as "nearly everything wrong with rock and roll today". Their fans, though, embrace the music for its simple melodies and multi-layered, easy-going compositions.
Frontman Johnny Borrell caused some controversy and surprise when he likened himself to musical legend Bob Dylan, quipping "If Dylan's making the chips then I'm drinking the champagne". This led to suggestions of self-promotion. This statement was taken out of context however as Borrell was comparing his and Dylan's first albums, not their overall career. The band became very popular on the London music scene when they arrived earlier in the year. Large demand caused the band to play extra shows, including a 7,000+ capacity gig at Alexandra Palace. The album was heavily marketed in the UK.

Ooh darling, who needs love?
Who needs a heaven up above?
Who needs the clouds in the sky?
Not I
Ooh darling, who needs the rain?
Who needs somebody that can feel your pain?
Who needs the disappointment of a telephone call?
Not I
No I don't need that at all, not I
I'm
Tired of love
Yeah
Sick of love
I've taken more than enough
Ooh darling, who needs the night,
The sacred hours, the fading life?
Who needs the morning and the joy it brings?
Not I
I've got my mind on other things
Not I
Ooh darling, who needs joy?
Who needs a perfect girl or boy?
And who needs to draw that person near?
Not I
Because they always disappear
Not I
And you know
I'm
Tired of love
Yeah
Yeah I'm sick of love
Yeah
You give me more than enough
I'm gone!
Ooh darling, who needs love?
Who needs a heaven up above?
Who needs all the arguments?
Who needs to be right?
Not I
But I just can't give up without a fight, not I
No, I just can't give up without a fight, not I
Come on Andy!
No I just can't give up without a fight, not I
No no no, not I
Ooh no no, not I
Hiiiii
No no no no no, not I
Whooo

I love this song. First time I heard this was in 2008 when me and my mate went on a college trip to The Hilton in Manchester and for lunch we went to The Living Room on Deansgate and had burger and chips and this came on. It's always the little things that you remember the most.

The track speaks about the singer's disillusionment with love and relationships. The lyrics suggest that love is not necessary for happiness, and the singer has had enough of it. The repeated refrain of "Ooh darling who needs love?" suggests a rhetorical question, as the answer seems to be "not I". The song explores the idea that love can bring disappointment, pain, and ultimately can disappear.
The verses discuss various aspects of a relationship that the singer doesn't need, such as the heaven up above, the rain, the night, and even joy. The singer is tired of the arguments and being right, and feels that drawing someone near will only result in their eventual disappearance.
The chorus repeats that the singer is tired and sick of love, and that they have taken more than enough. This suggests that the singer has experienced heartbreak and becomes jaded towards the idea of love. However, the final lines of the song suggest that the singer is not willing to give up the fight for love completely, despite their reservations and disappointments.
Overall, "Who Needs Love" portrays a sense of disillusionment with love and relationships, suggesting that they bring more pain than joy. The song encourages listeners to question whether love is really necessary for happiness, and to consider whether the risk of heartbreak is worth it.

One of my favourite songs on the album - that Bass line!!
