Here Come The People In Grey

The Kinks

Transposer:

[Intro] [Verse 1] I got a letter this morning with some serious news That’s gone and ruined my day The borough surveyor’s used compulsory purchase To acquire my domain They’re gonna pull up the floors They’re gonna knock down the walls They’re gonna dig up the drains [Verse 2] Here come the people in grey They’re gonna take me away to Lord knows only where But I’m so unprepared I got no time to pack and I’ve got nothing to wear Here come the people in grey To take me away [Verse 3] Me and my baby gonna get on a train That’s gonna take us away I’m gonna live in a tent We’re gonna pay no more rent We’re gonna pay no more rates We’re gonna live in a field We’re gonna buy me a gun to keep the policemen away [Chorus] I’m gonna pass me a brand new resolution I’m gonna fight me a one man revolution some way Gonna beat those people in grey But here come the people in grey To take me away [Refrain] Here come the people in grey To take me away [Verse 4] The people in grey have gone and taken away My right to voice my complaint Her Majesty’s Government have sent me a form I must complete it today But it’s making me blue Don’t wanna tell all my secrets to The people in grey [Chorus] Gonna pass me a brand new resolution Gonna fight me a one man revolution someway Gonna start my rebellion today But here come the people in grey To take me away [Outro] Oh Lord those people in grey I gotta get back at those people in grey** Here come the people in grey To take me away ******************************************* ** In the recorded version I linked to there are a couple of extra words in this line that I cannot make out and which also do not appear in any of the published lyrics that I’ve found. *******************************************

La chanson évoque le sentiment d'impuissance face à une situation difficile. Le protagoniste reçoit une notification prévenant qu'il doit quitter son logement, et il se trouve complètement pris au dépourvu, sans savoir où aller. Les "gens en gris" symbolisent l'autorité et les décisions bureaucratiques qui bouleversent sa vie quotidienne. En réponse à cette menace, il exprime son désir de lutter pour sa liberté et sa dignité, rêvant même d'une vie alternative loin des contraintes du système. Le morceau évoque des thèmes de rébellion personnelle et de désir d'échapper à une bureaucratie oppressante. Dans un monde où les décisions peuvent être prises sans considération pour l'individu, il souhaite se libérer des règles qui l'étouffent, tout en faisant face à ses craintes et à l'inconnu.
