Property by Ray Davies [Intro] [Verse 1] My bags are packed I guess it’s time for me to go. I can’t say where I’m headed ’cause I just don’t know. When I think of what I’ll be losing It’s hard to move along But it’s harder just to stay here Knowing that I don’t belong. [Verse 2] I’ll be in touch don’t worry I’ll be calling you. I’ve got no plans I’m not sure where I’m going to. It’s hard to keep from crying After all that we’ve been through. I’ve taken everything I need Now all that’s left belongs to you. [Chorus] You take the photographs the ones of you and me When we both posed and laughed to please the family. Nobody noticed then we wanted to be free And now there’s no more love It’s just the property. [Pre-Bridge] It’s hard to keep from crying After all that we’ve been through. [Bridge] Now that it’s all over now that you and I are free Now there’s nothing left except the bit of property. Started off with nothing started off just you and me Now that it’s all over you can keep the property. Property Property Property Property Property Property Property Property [Verse 3] And all the little gifts we thought we’d throw away The useless souvenirs bought on a holiday. We put them on a shelf now they’re collecting dust. We never needed them but they outlasted us. [Outro] (You keep the property) [Ending]

Cette chanson évoque le moment délicat de quitter une relation qui a perdu son sens. Le narrateur se prépare à partir, hésitant entre la tristesse de ce qu'il laisse derrière lui et la nécessité de s’éloigner de quelque chose qui ne lui convient plus. Avec des souvenirs d’un temps heureux figés sur des photographies, il réalise que tout ce qui reste est matériel, ce qui souligne un sentiment de vide face à la fin de l’amour. Les souvenirs deviennent des objets sans âme, illustrant la séparation entre deux personnes qui étaient unies mais qui, désormais, ne se retrouvent plus que dans des souvenirs passés. Le contexte évoqué peut faire écho à de nombreuses relations où, avec le temps, l’affection se transforme en possession, et où l’on se rend compte que les souvenirs partagés ne suffisent plus à maintenir un lien.
