About this lyric:

Full Steam by David Gray featuring Annie Lennox, Music Video and Lyrics

Full Steam is the second single by English singer-songwriter, David Gray, from his eighth studio album, "Draw the Line".

Gray recorded the album, the first set of new songs since 2005's Life in Slow Motion, in his own studio--The Church Studios--while un-signed to a record label. The studio previously belonged to the Eurythmics, and when Gray invited Annie Lennox to guest record the duet "Full Steam," she reprimanded him for not changing the carpets. The track, described as "a broad political thing," is one of two duets on the album. The second duet, "Kathleen," features Jolie Holland

David Grays new single 'Full Steam', a duet with Annie Lennox is released in the UK on Monday 28th December. All proceeds from the sale of this single will go to Children In Need.

Here you can watch the official video for the song.

David Gray - Full Steam Lyrics featuring Annie Lennox

All our lives we've dreamed about it
Just to find that it was never real
This sure ain't no great Valhalla
Coming closer each turn of the wheel
Forlorn, adrift on seas of beige
In this our Golden Age

Even in our darkest hour
Never thought that it could get so bad
Bullied, suckered, pimped and patronised
Every day your tawdry little lives
So loose your head
And step within
The silence deafening

Now you saw it coming
And I saw it coming
We all saw it coming
But we still bought it
Now you saw it coming
And I saw it coming but still
Running full steam ahead

In and out of consciousness
It breaks my heart to see you like this
Crying, wringing hands and cursing fate
Always so little far too late
It's 3am I'm wide awake
There's still one call to make

Now you saw it coming
And I saw it coming
We all saw it coming
But we still bought it
Now you saw it coming
And I saw it coming
We all saw it coming
But we still bought it

Now you saw it coming
And I saw it coming
But still running full steam
Now you saw it coming
And I saw it coming but still
Running full steam
Now you
And I
We all saw it coming
But we still bought it
Now you
And I
We all saw it coming
But we still bought it
