now that all this smoke is clearing,
the plan has been destroyed
and I'm back here,
in puddles of what was my moon light,
the only thing that kept me safe from tears,
and pictures of you race through my head,
and now it's time for me to go back home,
in my head, I'm left alone.

and now that we're over this hill,
these arguements will all be gone again
the eyes I love see through you,
and telling me this bridge is broken,
won't help me not to hurt when I see you
and nothing will grow here again,

and now this is the end of something
that made me smile lightning bolts inside,
and tears are not enough to heal this,
my heart will reconnect inside my mind,
but in my chest theres hollow holes now,
and never will I feel the same again,
these empty holes have dried me out

and now that we're over this hill,
these arguements will all be gone again
the eyes I love see through you,
and telling me this bridge is broken,
won't help me not to hurt when I see you
and nothing will grow here again,

take my heart and keep it with you
I'll never know another love again
these days I spent with you are telling
the story of a broken hearted kid
and all my life I've never noticed
the rotten taste of heart ache now I know
what it is, and who it's for

and now that we're over this hill,
these arguements will all be gone again
the eyes I love see through you,
and telling me this bridge is broken,
won't help me not to hurt when I see you
and nothing will grow here again

    I first heard this song off of a Drive-Thru/Little League sampler that I got at Warped Tour, and it made me a fan of these guys. Awesome lyrics, and a kick-ass song. "...and now it's time for me to go back home, in my head, I'm left alone." Wow is right.

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.

Me and Johnny
Matt Paxton
Moyet later described how her song "Goodbye 70's" had been inspired by her disillusionment with how the late-1970s punk scene had turned out, saying, "'Goodbye 70's' is about punk and not caring how you were dressed, and then I discovered that so many of my friends that I'd thought it all really meant something to just saw it as another trend... That's what 'Goodbye 70's' was all about, about how sour the whole thing became."
