Lyrics Space, to each person room. Everybody defines space in their own way, mostly by using barricades. The different uses people make of space is up to the individual. Some people like to relax, while others like space to work in, and others like to dream. In the feudal times people used to enclose space, and have their own plots of land Space is what we need Room to breathe Call your own Surely there must be enough space for everyone to control within their own boundaries, to manipulate, to find activities that can take place. Everybody needs space, you need the room to relax when you're tired, when you come home, even just to place a few belongings. You can share this space with other people, and it also acts as a resting place Space is what we need Room to breathe Call your own And they laugh, especially when I start talking about furnishing the space, but a lot of people like to furnish the space in different ways. Some people like the luxury afforded by carpets. Myself, I like the occasional vase of flowers, and maybe a television to watch, especially when there's a Tom Mix movie on. Yipee-yay-o-ty-ay... Space is what we need Room to breathe Call your own Each man needs space, he needs that room to breathe. Therefore each woman needs space also. She needs to breathe. Birth was created in a space, and a space is vacant after a death. Try life insurance
The song is pretty tongue-in-cheek, and I guess the performance in the video is meant to reflect that. I must hook my turntable back up so I can have a good listen to these great II songs :)
@spigolo66 Its totally amazing..I agree with you..a masterpiece. I still play it sometimes..on vinyl..and it always knocks me out. Check out the band ELECTRIC PENGUINS Love from Ireland. Mark
Those shots where ahead of the times!
Life’s hard was a masterpiece and I still listen to it every week
Marvellous. Marvellous. Marvellous.
This is not just music, it is soundscaping.
One of my faves. That rotating camera bit is a nice touch. The Cabs and ABC did the same thing in their vids.
I love this song, they were quite a quirky and odd band and I think they are great! Thank you.
i loved them, their record is an absolute masterpiece!!
What a band!!!
I remember my youth!!
Amazing album this. Real quality. Notice that this track is a different version to the album. Colossal band.
Reminds me of mid-period Talking Heads in the best way. Whole LP is grand.
Spatial!!! I still keep the album, a masterpiece. Never forgot.
my first CD ever buyed, memories
Yes I concur - this is my favourite IM song, I love the bass on it especially at the chorus!!
Thanks for the video I didn't know it existed!!
Top Song.First time i ever heard it was on 4 Triple ZZZ over 25 years.Hell thats a long time ago.
just when i think i've almost exhausted discovering well crafted 80s pop something else pops up.
