It’s Immaterial – Space (Single)
Bekannt geworden mit „Driving Away From Home“. „Space“ ist nicht minder gut. Durch die Diskussion um den privaten Raum, den It’s Immaterial hier feierlich verteidigen, hat der Song doch wieder an Aktualität gewonnen. Daher erstmal die Lyrics, dann das Cover.
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-ay-o-ty-ay…
Space is what we need
room to breathe
call your own
Birth was created in a space
and a space is vacant after a death
