What made "Remain In Light" amazing was that it took multiple listenings just to get a remote handle on the songs. For me, it wasn't until I saw them do them live with the expanded band in the fall of 1980 that it all came into vision. It was like staring at a Monet from 3 feet away and then stepping back 20 feet to reveal its brilliance.

Find a little space so we move in-between (In-between it)
小さな隙間を見つけ、間を動き回る（そう、間を）
And keep one step ahead of yourself
自分自身を一歩置き去りにして
Don't you miss it, don't you miss it
逃すなよ。逃すなよ
Some of you people just about missed it
逃しかけてる奴がいるぞ
Last time to make plans
計画はこれで最後

Interesting.... Isn't that Laurel and Hardy acting to the music? Quite fitting for this song.
Famous silent film star Roscoe 'Fatty' Arbuckle and the physical Comedian who often played his 'foil' (sorry name unk.)
"Brian Eno"?
+cole hole Brian Eno, Composer and Producer (with the rest of the Talking Heads)
are you a fan of Brian .......
