@Kahiara Actually I think the husband passed away,
"She sang for you last night
She heard you were calling"
Many people say they have felt, heard, or seen their loved ones after they have passed.
"Don't be scared now
Close your eyes
She holds guard tonight
Go on forward no remorse
Life will take it's course"
This is said to the late husband by a third part (never named), who encourages him to pass on. Because life will eventually continue. The phrase "holds guard" refers to the ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/… ) which is a Christian ceremony held after someone dies. Now it is usually held right after the funeral, but in most celtiic countries the wake is held before the funeral.
"She danced with you last night so you will remember
All you have shared, a lifetime."
This sentence feels as if the only thing it wants to convey is their history together, namely, husband and wife. For the rest it just refers back to the first verse.
After nine years in the army
They took away his brain
They tattooed 'Defect' on his brow
And signed him up again
He killed ten thousand Germans
A hundred Japanese
A family of Hindus
And a lot of Portuguese, nine plan failed
I could never see the point
Of showing them you're boss
When they drag you through the city streets
And nail you to a cross
They took him to the office
They strapped him to the bed
They fastened lots of pretty wires
Securely to his head
They wheeled him down the corridor
Upon a metal trolley
Now he wears big spectacles
And he sings like Buddy Holly, nine plan failed
I could never see the point
Of showing them you're boss
When they drag you through the city streets
And nail you to a cross
The world declared its armistice
And took away his guns
And now he satisfies himself
On piss-week, tea and buns
On piss-week, tea and buns
Oh oh, at the disco
Rome is very pretty and Rome is very grand
But the Pope lost his four fingers
When they gave this boy his hand to kiss
When they gave this boy his hand to kiss
It wasn't funny, no
He wasn't very good at school
His highest grade was C
But he believed the managers
When they said,"You leave it all to me"
They gave him suits from Seville Row
The quality so fine
So now he sits in the desert wastes
Just waiting for a sign, nine plan failed
They took away his brain
They tattooed 'Defect' on his brow
And signed him up again
He killed ten thousand Germans
A hundred Japanese
A family of Hindus
And a lot of Portuguese, nine plan failed
I could never see the point
Of showing them you're boss
When they drag you through the city streets
And nail you to a cross
They took him to the office
They strapped him to the bed
They fastened lots of pretty wires
Securely to his head
They wheeled him down the corridor
Upon a metal trolley
Now he wears big spectacles
And he sings like Buddy Holly, nine plan failed
I could never see the point
Of showing them you're boss
When they drag you through the city streets
And nail you to a cross
The world declared its armistice
And took away his guns
And now he satisfies himself
On piss-week, tea and buns
On piss-week, tea and buns
Oh oh, at the disco
Rome is very pretty and Rome is very grand
But the Pope lost his four fingers
When they gave this boy his hand to kiss
When they gave this boy his hand to kiss
It wasn't funny, no
He wasn't very good at school
His highest grade was C
But he believed the managers
When they said,"You leave it all to me"
They gave him suits from Seville Row
The quality so fine
So now he sits in the desert wastes
Just waiting for a sign, nine plan failed

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."
