I think the meaning is pretty clear. This person got really burned in a previous relationship, and because of this is unable to love and show care in his present one, even though he so badly wants to. It's lovely song, and very sad. You can really feel how defeated and frustrated he is with himself.
I get stormy when things bore me
I get steamed up when you ignore me
I don't need some bland sky staring back at me
I need a bad guy I want some electricity
I need fire I got sensual desire
That's what my body and my nature does require
Oh don't you be so cold I need some body and soul
Yeah don't you be a fool you need to go to the love school
Don't need your detachment waiting for the storm to pass
Don't need reenactment of things that have happened in the past
I don't need some joker making fun at me
I need a lover I want some sensitivity
I need fire I got sensual desire
That's what my body and my nature does require
Oh don't you be so cold I need some body and soul
Yeah don't you be a fool you need to go to the love school
I need fire I got sensual desire
That's what my body and my nature does require
Oh don't you be so cold I need some body and soul
Yeah don't you be a fool you need to go to the love school
I don't want anybody else because I don't want anybody else
I get steamed up when you ignore me
I don't need some bland sky staring back at me
I need a bad guy I want some electricity
I need fire I got sensual desire
That's what my body and my nature does require
Oh don't you be so cold I need some body and soul
Yeah don't you be a fool you need to go to the love school
Don't need your detachment waiting for the storm to pass
Don't need reenactment of things that have happened in the past
I don't need some joker making fun at me
I need a lover I want some sensitivity
I need fire I got sensual desire
That's what my body and my nature does require
Oh don't you be so cold I need some body and soul
Yeah don't you be a fool you need to go to the love school
I need fire I got sensual desire
That's what my body and my nature does require
Oh don't you be so cold I need some body and soul
Yeah don't you be a fool you need to go to the love school
I don't want anybody else because I don't want anybody else

Somewhere Only We Know
Keane
Keane
Per the FAQ on Keane's website, Keane's drummer Richard Hughes, stated the following:
"We've been asked whether "Somewhere Only We Know" is about a specific place, and Tim has been saying that, for him, or us as individuals, it might be about a geographical space, or a feeling; it can mean something individual to each person, and they can interpret it to a memory of theirs... It's perhaps more of a theme rather than a specific message... Feelings that may be universal, without necessarily being totally specific to us, or a place, or a time..."
With the nostalgic sentiment and the overall tone of the song, I think Keane is attempting to express a Portuguese term known as 'saudade', which does not have a direct English translation but roughly means "that which we remember because it is gone."

Shudder to Think
This song is timeless, and nearly 20 years after its creation, still possesses the mystique it did the first time i heard it ~1994. To me, at first blush, all those years ago, it had some kind of homo-erotic allure. The line "so that the others may do" tells of something which must be done for others to follow suit. It felt like like some kind of roxy-glam-pop invitation to sexual liberation.
Upon further introspection I think the song may not have an intrinsic meaning, but simply represents a sort of "holding open the door" for people who otherwise might be affronted by this song/band's unusual style. I know, as a sort of armchair rock-historian, that there have been few bands so daring and so true to the sound that wanted to emerge from within, whether the creator wanted it or not. This band handled it with elegance and grace seldom, if ever, seen.
