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."
NO WAY TO MAKE IT HAPPEN,
THE WORLD WILL TRY
IT CAN'T CHANGE ME,
CAN'T CONVINCE ME,
I WON'T TAKE WHAT I DON'T
WANT, DON'T TAKE YOUR EYES
OFF ME
I KNOW WHAT I NEED, AND I
KNOW HOW TO GET IT
AND SO I SCRAPE AND CRAWL,
SPIT IN YOUR FACE
IF YOU'RE ARE NOT TRYIN',
YOU'RE ARE HOLDING ME BACK
SO THIS IS HOW IT'S DONE...
AND I'M GONNA, GONNA GET WHAT
I WANT, OR I'LL TAKE IT
AIN'T GONNA BE NO SITTING
AROUND FOR ME
IF YOU GOT TO TRY,
WHY NOT TRY FOR THE TOP
AND NOT LEAVE UNTIL IT'S DONE
I'M GONNA PUSH IT AWAY
WORLD'S GETTING HEATED,
BUT I'LL KEEP TO ME
NOT GONNA SWEAT ANYONE
THAT'S HOW IT'S DONE
THE WORLD WILL TRY
IT CAN'T CHANGE ME,
CAN'T CONVINCE ME,
I WON'T TAKE WHAT I DON'T
WANT, DON'T TAKE YOUR EYES
OFF ME
I KNOW WHAT I NEED, AND I
KNOW HOW TO GET IT
AND SO I SCRAPE AND CRAWL,
SPIT IN YOUR FACE
IF YOU'RE ARE NOT TRYIN',
YOU'RE ARE HOLDING ME BACK
SO THIS IS HOW IT'S DONE...
AND I'M GONNA, GONNA GET WHAT
I WANT, OR I'LL TAKE IT
AIN'T GONNA BE NO SITTING
AROUND FOR ME
IF YOU GOT TO TRY,
WHY NOT TRY FOR THE TOP
AND NOT LEAVE UNTIL IT'S DONE
I'M GONNA PUSH IT AWAY
WORLD'S GETTING HEATED,
BUT I'LL KEEP TO ME
NOT GONNA SWEAT ANYONE
THAT'S HOW IT'S DONE
