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."
I'm gettin' weaker, weaker,
Ev'ry time I hear her name.
Ah she's gettin' sweeter, sweeter,
This girl is driving me insane.
[Chorus]
Goody Goody Gumdrops,
My heart is doin' flip-flops,
Gee, what love can do.
I'm gonna shout it from the rooftops,
Goody Goody Gumdrops,
With a girl like you.
Ev'rything is good about her,
I just couldn't live without her,
'Cause when I kiss her,
My words come out this way.
[Chorus]
To look into her baby blue eyes,
Right down to her dainty shoe size.
The way I see her,
there's nothing left to say, but.
Goody Goody Gumdrops,
My heart is doin' flipflops,
Gee what love can do,
I'm gonna shout it from the rooftops,
Goody Goody Gumdrops,
With a girl like you.
Ev'ry time I hear her name.
Ah she's gettin' sweeter, sweeter,
This girl is driving me insane.
[Chorus]
Goody Goody Gumdrops,
My heart is doin' flip-flops,
Gee, what love can do.
I'm gonna shout it from the rooftops,
Goody Goody Gumdrops,
With a girl like you.
Ev'rything is good about her,
I just couldn't live without her,
'Cause when I kiss her,
My words come out this way.
[Chorus]
To look into her baby blue eyes,
Right down to her dainty shoe size.
The way I see her,
there's nothing left to say, but.
Goody Goody Gumdrops,
My heart is doin' flipflops,
Gee what love can do,
I'm gonna shout it from the rooftops,
Goody Goody Gumdrops,
With a girl like you.

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.

Matt Shadows their lead singer says the song was written as per request from the developers of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. Watching the initial trailers for the game & looking at production sketches reminded him of the 'S-Town' podcast & its main protagonist, John B. McLemore. Matt also comments specifically on the lyrics: "I decided that the lyrics would shadow McLemore's life." In 2012, antiquarian horologist John B. McLemore sent an email to the staff of the show 'This American Life' asking them to investigate an alleged murder in his hometown of Woodstock, Alabama, a place McLemore claimed to despise. After a year of exchanging emails & several months of conversation with McLemore, producer Brian Reed traveled to Woodstock to investigate. Reed investigated the crime & eventually found that no such murder took place, though he struck up a friendship with the depressed but colorful character of McLemore. He recorded conversations with McLemore & other people in Woodstock. McLemore killed himself by drinking potassium cyanide on June 22, 2015 while the podcast was still in production. In the narrative of the podcast, this occurs at the end of the second episode; subsequent episodes deal with the fallout from McLemore's death while exploring more of McLemore's life & character.
