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."
She-rocker, you're wasting your time
'Cause you're only a girl
She-rocker sacked the factory line
For a chance of a dance in a surreal world
She said, "come rescue, rescue me
From this hollywood life
Come rescue, rescue me
From this hollywood life"
She-rocker, hear the audience scream
For the death of the king
But a hand-job is all the butchery brings
'Cause fame ain't as easy as him (how sad)
Oh, come rescue, rescue me
From this hollywood life
Come rescue, rescue me
From this hollywood life
Oh, come rescue, rescue me
From this hollywood life
Come rescue, rescue me
From this hollywood life
Come take this hollywood life
Take this hollywood life
Take this hollywood life
Come take this hollywood life
'Cause you're only a girl
She-rocker sacked the factory line
For a chance of a dance in a surreal world
She said, "come rescue, rescue me
From this hollywood life
Come rescue, rescue me
From this hollywood life"
She-rocker, hear the audience scream
For the death of the king
But a hand-job is all the butchery brings
'Cause fame ain't as easy as him (how sad)
Oh, come rescue, rescue me
From this hollywood life
Come rescue, rescue me
From this hollywood life
Oh, come rescue, rescue me
From this hollywood life
Come rescue, rescue me
From this hollywood life
Come take this hollywood life
Take this hollywood life
Take this hollywood life
Come take this hollywood life

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.
