Full Steam Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Unpredictable 

Cover art for Full Steam lyrics by David Gray

In and out of consciousness It breaks my heart to see you like this ... It’s 3am I’m wide awake There’s still one call to make, one call

I think those lines are something on a much more personal level than an economic crisis.

I think it's about a couple whose relationship hasn't been too good, whose lives have lacked fulfilment, and one of them is dying.

Possibly I'm prejudiced because death is a recurring theme of DG. (The One I Love, White Ladder, etc. All brilliant though.)

My Interpretation
