Well, let's just thank our lucky stars they didn't name it 'From A Distance.'

"Destiny Rules" would make a statement... "Come" is just a lonely verb, without anything to qualify it.
'Mirage' and 'Rumours' were effective because they're nouns... not just because they were "short and sweet" titles.

There is absolutely no way you can use "Come" as a stand-alone word, and not have people's minds automatically go to the gutter.

Heck, even 70 year old grandmothers reading trashy romance novels, know what "come" stands for!

Although with that title, FM might have sold an additional 200 albums to horny 15 year old boys.
