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."
Live in a town where you fight to survive
I've learned to stand on my own and to keep my dreams alive
Workin' hard every day when life stays the same, can bring a man down
But a feelin' drives me on, keeps my world turnin' 'round
I won't be satisfied, there's a hurricane I was born to ride
Chorus:
That's takin' me straight to the top, I wanna run where the eagles fly
Never gonna stop till I find my place in the sky
Takin' it straight to the top
When you're reachin' for the glory, you will never die
Down on the line, they're gettin' the best of me
But I don't belong here, I'll follow my destiny
When I stand on that mountain with my head in the clouds, I know who I am
And I'll find that higher ground where I can walk like a man
If I don't try I'll never know, there's a hunger down inside my soul
(chorus)
I won't be satisfied, there's a hurricane I was born to ride, yeah
(chorus)
(Solo)
I won't be satisfied, there's a hurricane I was born to ride, yeah
(chorus repeats out...)
