Middle class white boys trying hard to annoy
All we really needed is a ticket to ride
Fighting with no-one at all that's ok
We've got no balls
Someone needs to sort us out
And make benny cry

All we need is a punch in the face

Lary Emdur is OK compared to us
He makes the grade
Self-depreciation is important for some
We deserve a beating can someone teach a lesson
All that they'd be doing is just having some fun

All we need is a punch in the face

And they go bam ba ba bam etc...

    I always wondered whether it was ride or Ryde (a sydney suburb) I guess it could be seen as a rough suburb by North Shore teenagers, especially considering it's close vicinity. Also it would be a fantastically lame pun.

@[Kahiara:35260] Actually I think the husband passed away, "She sang for you last night She heard you were calling" Many people say they have felt, heard, or seen their loved ones after they have passed. "Don't be scared now Close your eyes She holds guard tonight Go on forward no remorse Life will take it's course" This is said to the late husband by a third part (never named), who encourages him to pass on. Because life will eventually continue. The phrase "holds guard" refers to the ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wake_(ceremony) ) which is a Christian ceremony held after someone dies. Now it is usually held right after the funeral, but in most celtiic countries the wake is held before the funeral. "She danced with you last night so you will remember All you have shared, a lifetime." This sentence feels as if the only thing it wants to convey is their history together, namely, husband and wife. For the rest it just refers back to the first verse.

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."
