I always flirt with death
I could kill, but I don't care about it
I can face your threats
And stand up straight and tall and shout about it

I think I'm on another world with you, with you
I'm on another planet with you, with you

You get under my skin
I don't find it irritating
You always play to win
But I won't need rehabilitating, oh no

I think I'm on another world with you, with you
I'm on another planet with you, with you

Another girl, another planet
Another girl, another planet

Space travels in my blood
There ain't nothing I can do about it
Long journeys wear me out
But I know I can't live without it, oh no

I think I'm on another world with you, with you
I'm on another planet with you, with you

Another girl is loving you now
Another planet, is holding you down
Another planet

    It's not bad that it's written about heroin. Loads of great songs have been written about that, There She Goes, Perfect Day, Golden Brown, Hurt, Never Let Me Down Again, I Think I'm In Love... Perrett's writing about something personal. He's being honest, why's that a bad thing? This is probably one of the greatest singles ever written. Nothing else comes even vaguely close.

    "I always flirt with death" - great line. Love this song, it's a brilliant song, whether sober or drunk. But drunken dancing in an indie club with your mates and random people is definitely fun.

    It's about being smacked out your head on heroin.

    Let me tell you I was pissed when I found out this song was about heroin. I mean I enjoy singing about heroin as much as the next but I liked the innocence

    Sucks that the song turns out to be about heroin... but it's still got one of my favorite guitar solos in it. And why is this the only song from The Only Ones on the site? Such a good band deserves more than this.

    This song features lyrically in the book Junk, by Melvin Burgess. It is definately my favourite song EVER. It ties in perfectly with the book, which everyone should read.

    Oh my god - I read that book when I was in school. Amazing. Seriously don't remember the song in it then - but then again, I didn't really know the song until a couple of years ago.

@[Kahiara:35260] 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 ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wake_(ceremony) ) 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.

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."
