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."
To bridle the Beast is vain attempt
To train the flames seems easy to learn
From heart-shape box sucked out the pain
A name that scald unquiet mind
This is sweet fever for hungry eyes
Eternity's gate is opened wide
Release this fury burning inside
The plague of madness cling to me now
Unstoppable
My eager soul
The Dawn of Star
Brighter than Sun
More and more until the end
Your holy nectar won't quench my thirst
I feel the scorn drying on lips
I relish disease
This is the taste of promised reward
This is the treasure for those alone
Who fearless has gone to the other side
At rainbow's end, the chosen race
To train the flames seems easy to learn
From heart-shape box sucked out the pain
A name that scald unquiet mind
This is sweet fever for hungry eyes
Eternity's gate is opened wide
Release this fury burning inside
The plague of madness cling to me now
Unstoppable
My eager soul
The Dawn of Star
Brighter than Sun
More and more until the end
Your holy nectar won't quench my thirst
I feel the scorn drying on lips
I relish disease
This is the taste of promised reward
This is the treasure for those alone
Who fearless has gone to the other side
At rainbow's end, the chosen race

Matt Shadows their lead singer says the song was written as per request from the developers of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. Watching the initial trailers for the game & looking at production sketches reminded him of the 'S-Town' podcast & its main protagonist, John B. McLemore. Matt also comments specifically on the lyrics: "I decided that the lyrics would shadow McLemore's life." In 2012, antiquarian horologist John B. McLemore sent an email to the staff of the show 'This American Life' asking them to investigate an alleged murder in his hometown of Woodstock, Alabama, a place McLemore claimed to despise. After a year of exchanging emails & several months of conversation with McLemore, producer Brian Reed traveled to Woodstock to investigate. Reed investigated the crime & eventually found that no such murder took place, though he struck up a friendship with the depressed but colorful character of McLemore. He recorded conversations with McLemore & other people in Woodstock. McLemore killed himself by drinking potassium cyanide on June 22, 2015 while the podcast was still in production. In the narrative of the podcast, this occurs at the end of the second episode; subsequent episodes deal with the fallout from McLemore's death while exploring more of McLemore's life & character.
