The Lyrics for this blondie song are very vague but are interpreted in a few forms.
The song was one of the main songs used in the popular 90's film 'Trainspotting' which focused on the drug culture in England.
The song was used during a scene which was a one night stand. The music to this song is very fast paced and rushed, which can represent a quick paced night of passion in the heroin-chic era of the 1990's.
I interpret this song to be of a woman attempting to make one desperate night beautiful in a time of desperation or horror, like she is grabbing and clinging into the only thing she can get at the moment in her life and almost justifying it. The words 'make it magnificant' shows that she doesnt want to be let down in this situation - she really wants it to be atomic.
The line 'Oh your hair is beautiful' can be interpreted in the main role looking down at the other person in the one night stand. By saying this simple phrase it suggests that she doesnt really know what to say and that she prehaps doesnt even know this person too well and this is the only thing she can say to form a connection with the person.
