Hey, girl, it's a new world, let's have a little fun!
Don't stay hidden away, come and join everyone.
Everyone.
Outside I'm ready to ride, we can go anywhere.
Don't wait, procrastinate take a chance if you dare
I want to take you there.
Find a pace in the sun.
You know you want to go, it's no sacrifice.
I want what you want, in fact I'll even do it twice
At half the price.
Find a place in the sun.

Didn't you hear that the war has been won?
Good people died to provide you a place in the sun.
I'm here, what's there to fear? We're not breaking any law.
Someday I know you'll say you wonder
What you waited for
What are you waiting for?
Find a place in the sun.

Didn't you know any wrong you have done
Cannot deny you the right to a place in the sun?
Find a place in the sun.

@Kahiara 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 ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/… ) 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.

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.
