Two of Us Lyrics
And I'm building ,dreams in a strangers land
Tell me why do I care
Tell me why do I care.
pick me up and they spin me round.
Tell me where do we go,
Tell me where do we go from here.
What are we gonna find out (find out)
Leave the wilderness, and as long as there's dreams,
Just as long as there's two of us,
Just as long as there's two of us, I'll carry on
When are we gonna find out (find out)
What the universe is just waiting to here,
Just as long as there's two of us
Just as long as there's two of us
Just as long as there's two of us,
We'll carry on.
I remember playing this song on my father's old Paris cassettes but Roger didn't sing the last eight lines. It was over in about 1 minute! It's very philosophical, and I question where I am everytime I hear it.
This song is about how we see the significant things and compare it to the insignificant things and it becomes a big different. Like how Roger says "Look at me I'm a speck of sand,And I'm building ,dreams in a strangers land Tell me why do I care". He means that why should one person feel like they've made a big difference compare to the other 6 billion people on this planet. And its true, who are we all on Earth ? But as long as there is just you and someone you care about, thats all you truly need.
I actually thought that "Look at me I'm a speck of sand, And I'm building dreams in a strangers land Tell me why do I care" meant that he is doing something for someone else, he's not doing what he believes he should do. He's building dreams in someone else's land, not in his own, he's living someone else's life and is not quite sure why he does on with the lies... but as long as there's two of us, it doesnt matter, cause that person makes it worth all the shit... probably thought it that way for my personal situation, but it's a possibility, right?
Absolutely right, I agree. I feel the same way.

I interpreted the line "I'm building dreams in a stranger's land" as going to America to record material, tour, and do whatever else A&M Records asked them to do there.
