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.
Pleasure seeker new love reaper
I heard tell you're quite
A nighttime keeper
Will you ever find the sun
Maybe never in a ten day run
Painted faces, forgotten bootlaces
Now ain't it all the same in the brand-new places?
So we dance between the lights
Taking a chance to make it right
Make it right
Na na na na na na na -- oh oh oh
Na na na na na na na -- oh oh oh
She's an angel and she loves to spread her wings
I'm a stranger here but I love the song she sings
Heaven knows that I can feel you
And all the ways that you come on through
My lady blue
Na na na na na na na -- oh oh oh
Na na na na na na na -- oh oh oh
(repeat)
I heard tell you're quite
A nighttime keeper
Will you ever find the sun
Maybe never in a ten day run
Painted faces, forgotten bootlaces
Now ain't it all the same in the brand-new places?
So we dance between the lights
Taking a chance to make it right
Make it right
Na na na na na na na -- oh oh oh
Na na na na na na na -- oh oh oh
She's an angel and she loves to spread her wings
I'm a stranger here but I love the song she sings
Heaven knows that I can feel you
And all the ways that you come on through
My lady blue
Na na na na na na na -- oh oh oh
Na na na na na na na -- oh oh oh
(repeat)

"Zombie" is about the ethno-political conflict in Ireland. This is obvious if you know anything of the singer (Dolores O'Riordan)'s Irish heritage and understood the "1916" Easter Rising reference.
"Another head hangs lowly
Child is slowly taken
And the violence caused such silence
Who are we mistaken
-
Another mother's breaking
Heart is taking over"
Laments the Warrington bomb attacks in which two children were fatally injured on March 23rd, 1993. Twelve year old Tim Parry was taken off life support with permission from his mother after five days in the hospital, virtually braindead.
"But you see it's not me
It's not my family"
References how people who are not directly involved with the violence feel about it. They are "zombies" without sympathy who refuse to take action while others suffer.

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."
