This is a
different kind of love song. In contrast to songs in which falling in love
makes the rest of humanity irrelevant, Room for Us All invokes love that
is both delightfully personal and optimistically global.
Have a listen.

she’s finding treasure in a
rubbishdump
he’s finding her
enchanting
she tends a little patch of fertile soil
he knows the
time for planting
there is room for us all
there is room for us
all
there is room
he gives his money surreptitiously
no need
for recognition
his old friends look at him
suspiciously
bemoan his lack
of ambition
there is room for us all
there is room for us
all
there is room (x 2)
she cooks dinner for a hungry
crowd
he helps her to prepare it
she knows that there’s enough to go
around
if we would only share it
there is room for us
all
there is room for us all
there is room
(x2)
we’re in this together
sister, brother
carers of the
planet
lovers of each other
he learns to knit and she has learned to
sew
they mend their clothes together
patching so the tears no longer
show
he hopes they’ll last forever
there is room for us all
there
is room for us all
there is room (x3)„
