Party Line Written by: Ray Davies Chords: Chris (Brinngnnggg Bringgg: Hello who’s that speaking please?) I’m on a party line Wonderin’ all the time Who’s on the other end? Is she big is she small? Is she a she at all? Who’s on my party line? Wish I had a more direct connection. This party line was here when I arrived. And I’m not voting in the next election If they don’t do something about finding out The person who is on my party line. G... (instumental for 8 bars) I’m on a party line. G... (instumental for 8 bars) I’m on a party line. I can’t speak without an interception. This is private please get off my line. Please tell me when I can have my privacy. I’d like to meet the girl who’s always talking When I’m speaking on my party line. [Instrumental break for one verse] Wish I had a more direct connection. This party line was here when I arrived. And I’m not voting in the next election If they don’t do something about finding out The person who is on my party line. I’m on a party line Wonderin’ all the time Who’s on the other end? Is she big is she small? Is she a she at all? Who’s on my party line? Who’s on my party line? Who’s on my party line?

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque l'expérience d'une personne qui se trouve constamment sur une ligne commune, se demandant qui d'autre pourrait écouter ses conversations. Cela soulève des questions d'intimité et de connexion avec autrui, tout en exprimant un certain agacement face à cette situation. L'artiste souhaite des interactions plus directes et authentiques, plaidant presque pour un espace personnel où il pourrait rencontrer la voix mystérieuse qui l'intrigue. Le contexte de la chanson nous plonge dans une époque où les lignes téléphoniques partagées étaient courantes, symbolisant une ère de communication moins privée. Cela reflète aussi un sentiment de frustration face aux systèmes et aux choix politiques, le protagoniste insistant sur le besoin de changements dans la société pour retrouver une certaine intimité.
