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 blurred out your eyes and made you a little short
cut away all your wires and made you seem less contrived
with a few blemishes on your cheek now you look much paler
with your lips thinned out you have rid of all your lies
you're hairs grown out
and you have more doubts
and I never see you around any more
I'm hoping it's how I can even the score
distance steps to distance it makes for better people
I've disfigured your image and I've been building my brick wall
it's a few layers thick now so you can't kick through it
pummeling it to the ground and leaving me with the ruins
and you don't know
with these months I've grown
and this is what I do to scratch you off of my mind
so when I see you I won't know your face
and when I see you I won't know your name
and when I see you I can slip away
cut away all your wires and made you seem less contrived
with a few blemishes on your cheek now you look much paler
with your lips thinned out you have rid of all your lies
you're hairs grown out
and you have more doubts
and I never see you around any more
I'm hoping it's how I can even the score
distance steps to distance it makes for better people
I've disfigured your image and I've been building my brick wall
it's a few layers thick now so you can't kick through it
pummeling it to the ground and leaving me with the ruins
and you don't know
with these months I've grown
and this is what I do to scratch you off of my mind
so when I see you I won't know your face
and when I see you I won't know your name
and when I see you I can slip away
