Story Of My Life

Bif Naked

Our love was volatile and weird.
All I thought as I hopped the Greyhound was,
"Get me the fuck outta here."

I ran
I ran away from you.
Packed my tears and all my fears.
I had nothing better to do.

Mommy,
Mommy, I know you know the truth.
I'm sorry that you're heartbroken.
Now, all I am is missing you.
And, when I left
I dropped a trail of candy hearts,
Hoping you would wait for me...
I just want, to come home tonight.
This is the story of my life.

One week,
Shouldn't have even been one day.
I am calling from a payphone,
Twenty three hundred miles away.
Bad things I can not even say.
If not for the kindness of strangers,
I would not be alive today.

Mommy,
Mommy, I know you know the truth.
I'm sorry that you're heartbroken.
Now, all I am is missing you.
And, when I left
I dropped a trail of candy hearts,
Hoping you would search for me,
I just want, to come home tonight.
This is the story of my life.

    the first line is : our love was volatile and weird and it's mommy, mommy i know you know the truth, sorry that you're heartbroken, now all I am is missing you also the spoken part goes "i was yelling, drive drive drive, please? this asshole wants to turn us out. I was yelling, help us man, he's a stranger. so he told us to put our seat belts on. Mr. davies the cab driver, he pulled outta there. he saved out lives mom, he's like a guardian angel." *I could be wrong abut the last part but that's what I hear*

    This song kinda signifies her life while she was on drugs, and all messed up, and the line at the end is her stating that she has changed, and that is no longer the story of her life.

@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.

Me and Johnny

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."
