Oh, Apathy
Don't patronize me
I wasn't staring at nothing for nothing

Oh, Apathy
Don't hypnotize me
Once upon a time I thought I really stood for something
Something much greater than my love
If I just took the time to stop all of my talking
Maybe I'd remember what it was, what it was, what it was

Oh, Apathy
Don't patronize me
Wake me up, I dare not sleep another hour
I'm waiting for the mission bells
My greatest fear is that I'll wait for you forever
Still I'll never hear the sound, hear the sound
I can't let that happen now

Oh, Apathy
Don't patronize me
Starry night is nothing like what I expected
Can't let it get under my skin
This is not the dream long ago imagined
Then again nothing ever is, ever is, ever is

    My Opinion
    This is just sublime. I was surprised that this wasn't a cover of some classic I just didn't know about.

Shudder to Think
This song is timeless, and nearly 20 years after its creation, still possesses the mystique it did the first time i heard it ~1994. To me, at first blush, all those years ago, it had some kind of homo-erotic allure. The line "so that the others may do" tells of something which must be done for others to follow suit. It felt like like some kind of roxy-glam-pop invitation to sexual liberation. Upon further introspection I think the song may not have an intrinsic meaning, but simply represents a sort of "holding open the door" for people who otherwise might be affronted by this song/band's unusual style. I know, as a sort of armchair rock-historian, that there have been few bands so daring and so true to the sound that wanted to emerge from within, whether the creator wanted it or not. This band handled it with elegance and grace seldom, if ever, seen.

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."
