Brian Brooks - A Room With A View
lyrics
Look at all those people from some grey place
Slack of limb and pale of face
Sole survivors from some distant war
Late arrivers from some other shore
They're just looking for a way to settle down
Far from that war-torn city and ravaged town
And they say:

All we ever wanted
All we ever needed
All we ever wanted me and you
Was a room with a view

Horizon steeples and dreaming spires
Make way for wasted people and raging fires
The stunning thud of missile and mortar bomb
Til they don't know where they're going or coming from
They're just looking for a place to settle down
Far from that war-torn city and ravaged town
And they say:

All we ever wanted
All we ever needed
All we ever wanted me and you
Was a room with a view

Refugees abandoning their way of life
Wooden cart and bandaged feet in step with strife
Ethnically cleansed but grimy to the core
When will this racist hatred be no more?
They're just looking for a home to settle down
Far from that war-torn city and ravaged town
And they say:

All we ever wanted
All we ever needed
All we ever wanted me and you
Was a room with a view
