Expectation
Jane Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You got no expectation.
You don't love me no more.
I saw your pretty smilin'.
In kings road number four.
These kings wont live my weary friend.
I saw you and I understand.
You don't know or I don't care.
Guys like you are everywhere.
But now it's time to make a sound
For beat that came from underground.




Cause I'm a man from music scene.
Born to live the greatest dream.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Jane's song "Expectation" convey a sense of disillusionment and resignation in a romantic relationship. The singer sings about their partner's lack of expectation, possibly implying that they don't have any hopes or aspirations for their future together. The phrase "You don't love me no more" adds to the sadness of the song, as the singer comes to terms with the fact that their partner is no longer in love with them.


The line "I saw your pretty smilin' in kings road number four" suggests that the singer may have seen their partner with someone else. Despite this, the singer seems to have gained some clarity from the experience, realizing that people like their partner are everywhere and it's time to move on. The final lines of the song mark a shift in tone as the singer asserts their own identity as a musician, saying they were "born to live the greatest dream." This sense of self-confidence and determination provides a hopeful note, despite the sadness of the preceding verses.

This is amazing, Live at home was my first album from Jane. Even in Iran we know Jane and we love Jane and Eloy. Those bands were Pride of Hanover and Germany. Expectation is my favorite song.
