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."
Call it liberation or frustration,
As it hits like a bomb
Tearing you apart as you're first in line,
Entering the zone
Watch how it runs, a nerve-wracking resistance
Watch how it burns, a venomous script's getting formed
You've travelled a long way to get here
And now it's waking you up
[Chorus]
Walk straight for a final solution
Walk straight, don't you be so cold
Walk straight with clear resolution
I'll state my case and never turn
Watch how it runs, watch how it burns
And it's all a deception
Break it and learn, there's no return
For a presence like mine
You've traveled a long way to get here
It's getting all so clear now, all the things I know
An elapse of conscious progress will last forevermore
My courageous insanity follows an infinite time
I'll be attaching the world
On my shoulders
Without a look
Inside
[Chorus]
As it hits like a bomb
Tearing you apart as you're first in line,
Entering the zone
Watch how it runs, a nerve-wracking resistance
Watch how it burns, a venomous script's getting formed
You've travelled a long way to get here
And now it's waking you up
[Chorus]
Walk straight for a final solution
Walk straight, don't you be so cold
Walk straight with clear resolution
I'll state my case and never turn
Watch how it runs, watch how it burns
And it's all a deception
Break it and learn, there's no return
For a presence like mine
You've traveled a long way to get here
It's getting all so clear now, all the things I know
An elapse of conscious progress will last forevermore
My courageous insanity follows an infinite time
I'll be attaching the world
On my shoulders
Without a look
Inside
[Chorus]

-The vocalist is usually seen with a shaved head, which is common among neo-nazis.
-The band's name is Soilwork, which could be a reference to Genesis, when god made man. Many neo nazi's believe that god made white man one day, and made other races with the animals.
-The band was originally named "Breed" ... that one's obvious.
I'm not saying that they are anti-semitic or racist, I'm just saying that it kinda seems like it.
The final solution in this case is suicide... though I don't understand who would be the one saying, don't you be so cold.
