This song is Swift's response to the negative reputation the media has given her.
"I can make the bad guys good for a weekend" - the bad guys are the paparazzi to Swift, but are good to the "player" since association with Swift immediately gives publicity. Any publicity is good publicity and Swift knows this.
"You can tell me when it's over" - the tabloids rumor relationships are over before the couple announces it officially.
With this song Swift is portraying the way she is portrayed by the media.
It is a sarcastic jab at how she views herself and how her "ex-lovers" only wanted to be with her to increase their fame.
I applaud the brilliance in writing about how you always write about relationships.
It is expected so Swift is giving the media what they want and profiting off the attention.
Julianne, thinking back I can remember just one thing
Wondering what might have been
Julianne, when I met you, you were in between a girl and a young lady
When we led another…
Julianne, I beg your pardon if I ask too many questions,
I can be an asshole sometimes, tell me please, how did it happen?
Julianne, ohh-ohh-ohh-oh-oh, Julianne.
Julianne, ohh-ohh-ohh-ohhhhh-ooohhoo, Julianne, ohh.
Julianne, everything looks so much bigger from down here
It seems life alone I could not understand or stand to bear
And in my mind I behold a scene too wonderful for sight
Julianne you’re flying, floating high above the tops of trees
I see your hands holding two fistfuls of dandelions
While casting colors down it seems into the summer breeze
Julianne (Julianne, c’mon let’s go Julianne) are you alone tonight?
(Julianne, broken hearts are meant to mend)
Julianne (Julianne) are you alone tonight?
(Julianne, I hope you’re alright)
Summertime at the river-side in the sunshine, everything is alright, no one in sight
Julianne, I know you came to see some other guys
Could you pretend otherwise just for a moment?
Julianne I barely know you but I’m so in love, for real
I mean maybe… but I could be backwards
Julianne, ohh-ohh-ohh-oh-oh, Julianne.
Julianne, ohh-ohh-ohh-ohhhhh-ooohhoo, Julianne, ohh.
Julianne since we last spoke the river took the water home
I dream you’re anywhere, hope you’re anywhere else but there.
Julianne (Julianne, c’mon let’s go Julianne) are you alone tonight?
(Julianne, broken hearts are meant to mend)
Julianne (Julianne) are you alone tonight?
(Julianne, I hope you’re alright)
Are you alright?
Summertime at the river-side in the sunshine, everything is alright, no one in sight
You’re mine.
Summertime at the river-side in the sunshine, everything is alright, no one in sight
I’m all yours.
Summertime at the river-side in the sunshine, everything is alright, no one in sight
I’m all yours.
Summertime at the river-side in the sunshine, everything is alright, no one in sight
Has anyone ever dreamed of you? Of all that you could be?
Has anyone ever dreamed of you, like me?
Summertime at the river-side in the sunshine, everything’s alright…
Wondering what might have been
Julianne, when I met you, you were in between a girl and a young lady
When we led another…
Julianne, I beg your pardon if I ask too many questions,
I can be an asshole sometimes, tell me please, how did it happen?
Julianne, ohh-ohh-ohh-oh-oh, Julianne.
Julianne, ohh-ohh-ohh-ohhhhh-ooohhoo, Julianne, ohh.
Julianne, everything looks so much bigger from down here
It seems life alone I could not understand or stand to bear
And in my mind I behold a scene too wonderful for sight
Julianne you’re flying, floating high above the tops of trees

While casting colors down it seems into the summer breeze
Julianne (Julianne, c’mon let’s go Julianne) are you alone tonight?
(Julianne, broken hearts are meant to mend)
Julianne (Julianne) are you alone tonight?
(Julianne, I hope you’re alright)

I’m all yours.
Summertime at the river-side in the sunshine, everything is alright, no one in sight
I’m all yours.
Summertime at the river-side in the sunshine, everything is alright, no one in sight
Has anyone ever dreamed of you? Of all that you could be?
Has anyone ever dreamed of you, like me?
Summertime at the river-side in the sunshine, everything’s alright…

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."
