Control

Bibio - Old Friends

This song was written in full in the early 1980s, but it's probably more relevant today than ever.

Accommodation, that's what I need
Accommodation, that's what I need
Give me accommodation
Don't sit around and watch me bleed
I've searched through the suburbs and the centre of the town
Good accommodation is nowhere to be found
I've been to the east and I've been to the west
But there's no accommodation to offer me any rest
I've been to the north and I've been to the south
From e every vacant flat let to luxurious penthouse
I've studied architecture, marvelled at its flaws
Out from the street it's incomplete, but I can't find the cause
Accommodation, that's what I need
Accommodation, that's what I need
Give me accommodation, don't sit around and watch me bleed
Accommodation I see it all around
Surrounding me in its sea and I'm about to drown
This situation could not get any worse
There's water water everywhere and I'm dying of thirst
Accommodation that's what I need
Accommodation that's what I need
Give me accommodation, give a space to breathe
