21 Mar 09 - 04:09 PM (#2594128) Subject: Lyr Req: David Grey (gray From: Dave Wynn I have been looking at this song for a while and a freind of mine does it. I like the tune and the lyrics but I am confused by the Chorus. Gonna close my eyes Girl and watch you go Running through this life darling Like a field of snow As the tracer glides In its graceful arc Send a little prayer out to ya 'cross the falling dark Tell the repo man And the stars above You're the one I love see sample of first verse and chorus. What is the Repo Man. What is a repo man and what the blazes is a repo man doing in amongst these lyrics. Why should anyone tell the repo man anything etc etc. I would appreciate any comments or insight. Dave W |

The song is generally known as "The One I Love" Google (David Grey Lyrics) will present you with some lyrics but I have always been a little suspicious of lyric sites as I have found some bloopers in the past. It was released on an album (Life In Slow Motion 2005) and a single (30th August 2005). Dave W |

24 Mar 09 - 11:04 PM (#2596658) Subject: Lyr Add: THE ONE I LOVE (David Gray) From: Jim Dixon I suppose these are the definitive lyrics because they come from David Gray's web site: (You're right; there were lots of mistakes in some of the versions I saw on other web sites. You can hear a complete MP3 file on this page.) THE ONE I LOVE David Gray Gonna close my eyes, Girl, and watch you go, Running through this life, darling, Like a field of snow. As the tracer glides In its graceful arc, Send a little prayer out to ya 'Cross the falling dark. Tell the repo man And the stars above You're the one I love. Perfect summer's night, Not a wind that breathes, Just the bullets whispering gentle 'Mongst the new green leaves. There's things I might have said, Only wish I could, Now I'm leaking life faster Then I'm leaking blood. Tell the repo man And the stars above, You're the one I love. You're the one I love, The one I love. Don't see Elysium. Don't see no fiery hell, Just the lights up bright, baby, In the bay hotel. Next wave coming in Like an ocean roar, Won't you take my hand, darling, On that old dance floor? We can twist and shout, Do the turtle dove, And you're the one I love. You're the one I love, The one I love. |

I think that "the repo man " refers the the "reposession man", i.e. the guy who will want to take your family's TV away, just as soon as your national government stops paying you as you are dead and thus no longer on the payroll of the Empire. |

But I agree with Sleepy Rosie (21 Mar 09) that "'the repo man' (repossessions man) is a personification of death claiming him." A spammer has decided to occupy this thread.
