Soluble Words

On

What did you say?
I heard soluble words
They flew out of your face
Then fell back to earth

Inaudible sounds
Get carried away
Can't you tell that I know your game
You've got nothing to say

Is there something you can tell me
That could make me hear the call
Everything I've heard you spill
Is sleepier than Seconol
How can i pretend to think
That what you say is meaningful
Every time I look inside
There's nothing but an empty hole

What did you say?
I heard questionable sounds
They dropped out of your mouth
Then fell to the ground

What are you fighting for?
What could it be?
I don't know, but I don't think you'll mind
All the extra money

Is there something you can tell me
That could make me hear the call
Everything I've heard you spill
Is sleepier than Seconol
How can i pretend to think
That what you say is meaningful
Every time I look inside
There's nothing but an empty hole

What did you say?
I heard questionable sounds
They flew out of your face
Then dropped to the ground

Is there something you can tell me
That could make me hear the call
Everything I've heard you spill
Is sleepier than Seconol
How can i pretend to think
That what you say is meaningful
Every time I look inside
There's nothing but an empty hole

Is there something you can tell me
That could make me hear the call
Everything I've heard you spill
Is sleepier than Seconol
How can i pretend to think
That what you say is meaningful
Every time I look inside
There's nothing but an empty hole

An empty hole

Can't afford to let you down
There's nothing here but broken sound
I'll leave the tape beside your door
On my way home

Can't afford to let you down
There's nothing here but broken sound
I'll leave the tape beside your door
On my way home

Can't afford to let you down
There's nothing here but broken sound
I'll leave the tape beside your door
On my way home

Just listening for the 784,654th time....and it's just perfect in every way. Just incredible. The only reason it was remade was to scoop up a boatload of money from a more modern and accepting audience. But it is a completely different song than the other one that sounds slapped together in a few takes without a thought for the meaning. This song captivates me still, after 50+ years. Takes me to the deep South and the poverty of some who lived thru truly hard times. And the powerful spirit of a poor young girl being abandoned to her future with only a red dress and her wits to keep her alive. She not only stayed alive, she turned her hard beginnings around, became self sufficient, successful and someone with respect for herself. She didn't let the naysayers and judgers stop her. She's the one sitting in the drivers seat at the end. So, not a song about a poor girl, but a song of hope and how you can rise up no matter how far down you started. There is a huge difference between a singer who simply belts out a song that is on a page in front of them, and someone who can convey an entire experience with their voice. Telling not just a story with words, but taking you inside it and making you feel like you are there, with their interpretation.

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."

The man has pseudo-friends who constantly criticize his actions. They moralize him, "teach" him and advise him to make a significant change in his life, because the way he is and what he does is not what they say it should be. They may find his life lame or immoral. They hold themselves up as role models. The man replies that he will make his own choices and decisions and he does not agree to unconditionally make himself under the influence of questionable quality advice. He justifies this by saying that there is always someone for whom he will be important, no matter what he does and no matter what he is. Although it is not said directly, I read it as meaning that he will always be important to himself in every way and he will always have his own support. "Everyone is different and maybe that's a good thing, but you exceeded that mark 1000 times" - I remember very well how sad the words I once heard (from my peers and it was in negative context) at school made me feel.
