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."
remember being asked to go back
we all were once, were we not
remember we were told to hold back
now we're just holding on
isnt it funny how long
all of our choices proved wrong
wrote twenty thousand sad songs
only to do it again
if i left home today, would you come with me
if i disappeared, would you dream of me
i may be older but im still not wise
youll still see her, looking into my eyes
remember being back at the beach
when you were cold, my heart mustve warmed up your hand
howd you get so out of reach
i was told, it would happen again
broken could never describe
the world in this new state of mind
thought that id leave it behind
its suddenly raining again
we all were once, were we not
remember we were told to hold back
now we're just holding on
isnt it funny how long
all of our choices proved wrong
wrote twenty thousand sad songs
only to do it again
if i left home today, would you come with me
if i disappeared, would you dream of me
i may be older but im still not wise
youll still see her, looking into my eyes
remember being back at the beach
when you were cold, my heart mustve warmed up your hand
howd you get so out of reach
i was told, it would happen again
broken could never describe
the world in this new state of mind
thought that id leave it behind
its suddenly raining again
