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."
(And when morning comes)
Up all night, sleep all day
Up all night, sleep all day
When evenin comes
I am alive
I love to prowl around in the streets
Its the moonlight
That controls my mind
Now I've got the power to speak, yeah
(Awake from dusk to dawn)
Under the city lights
(stars are shinin down)
They'll be shinin down on you and I
(And when morning comes)
I'll hold you till the mornin light
Everybody sing it now
Up all night
Sleep all day
Up all night
Sleep all day
That's right
Ah ahhh ahhhhh
Drivin down the boulevard
All alone
The neon signs are callin my name
Find me in the corner
Havin the time of my life
I think you'd want to do the same
(Awake from dusk to dawn)
Under the city lights
(Stars are shinin down)
They'll be shinin down on you and I

Land where our fathers died
Land of the pilgrims pride
From every mountainside
Let freedom ring
Up all night, sleep all day

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.

Apparently his wife is the ex-wife of either Madonna's dancer or guitarist. So whatever Madonna does,Mark would have to do too. I had friends that would brag about being his cousin.I was unimpressed and I always liked it spelled "S-laughter". :)
