Late Night Radio Lyrics
Oh Mary Jane
She step on a train
head for the city lights
yearning inside
to swim with the tide
and taste it, alright
bag on her shoulder
breathing the cold
there by the metal tracks
she saw it all shine
and swore in her mind
she'd never go back
And she don't mind the late night
late night radio
she don't mind the late night radio
she don't mind the late night
late night radio

Couldn't have dreamed
the things that she seen
there on the avenue
she stared right into a million eyes
that looked her right through
telling Red Joe
the places she'd go
and wiping the table clean
she got no idea
the demon of fear
or what a broken heart mean
And she don't mind the late night
late night radio
she don't mind the late night radio
she don't mind the late night
late night radio
na na na na na not at all
na na na na na not at all
na na na na na not at all

New York was dark
dirty and stark
burning with yellow wings
everyday come
with fever and hum
who knows what it brings
walking a wall
without a thought
to fall and hit the ground
sweet Mary Jane
with eyes like the rain
alive to the sound
And she don't mind the late night
late night radio
she don't mind the late night radio
she don't mind the late night
late night radio
and she don't mind the late night
late night radio
she don't mind the late night radio
she don't mind the late night
late night radio

I think its about moving away from the past, despite its consequences. Yet, I think a lot of things.... Nice song though.
More specifically, I see it as being about getting out of a home-place that's become a prison, and "Seeing The World"®
This is, without question, the best song David Gray has ever recorded.
This song is magical.

I LOVE those lines... They're amazing. It's about living, just living without fear.
