I'm Not In Love Lyrics

"I believe some day we'll live in a world without love" is a particularly strange assertion. After a casual listen, it's unlikely anyone would notice how this represents David's belief that a "world without love" would be desirable...his longed-for future in which his odd "opinions" are "respected".

It might not match the lyric sheet, but it's what he sings. There'd been many such discrepancies. Presumably David submitted lyrics for songs when they were still works-in-progress, and--when it came time to record--didn't sing the same thing.

Just today--in a different place on the Internet--I encountered someone having used the printed lyrics for "Air" as an example. He was irritated by lyric sheets not always reflecting what's sung on the recording.
