| | | | Land Of Confusion | | | | Autor tekstu: Mike Rutherford | | | | I must've dreamed a thousand dreams Been haunted by a million screams But I can hear the marching feet They're moving into the street.
Now did you read the news today They say the danger's gone away But I can see the fire's still alight There burning into the night.
There's too many men Too many people Making too many problems And not much love to go round Can't you see This is a land of confusion.
This is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given Use them and let's start trying To make it a place worth living in.
Ooh Superman where are you now When everything's gone wrong somehow The men of steel, the men of power Are losing control by the hour.
This is the time This is the place So we look for the future But there's not much love to go round Tell me why, this is a land of confusion.
This is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given Use them and let's start trying To make it a place worth living in.
I remember long ago - Ooh when the sun was shining Yes and the stars were bright All through the night And the sound of your laughter As I held you tight So long ago -
I won't be coming home tonight My generation will put it right We're not just making promises That we know, we'll never keep.
Too many men There's too many people Making too many problems And not much love to go round Can't you see This is a land of confusion.
Now this is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given Use them and let's start trying To make it a place worth fighting for.
This is the world we live in And these are the names we're given Stand up and let's start showing Just where our lives are going to.
| | | | I Can't Dance | | | | Autor tekstu: Phil Collins | | | | Hot sun beating down burning my feet just walking around.
Hot sun making me sweat 'Gators getting close, hasn't got me yet
I can't dance, I can't talk. Only thing about me is the way I walk. I can't dance, I can't sing I'm just standing here selling everything.
Blue jeans sitting on the beach, her dog's talking to me, but she's out of reach.
She's got a body under that shirt, but all she wants to do is rub my face in the dirt.
Cos, I can't dance, I can't talk. Only thing about me is the way I walk. I can't dance, I can't sing I'm just standing here selling.
Oh and checking everything is in place, you never know who's looking on.
Young punk spilling beer on my shoes, fat guy's talking to me trying to steal my blues.
Thick smoke, see her smiling through. I never thought so much could happen just shooting pool.
But I can't dance, I can't talk. The only thing about me is the way that I walk. I can't dance, I can't sing I'm just standing here selling
Oh and checking everything is in place You never know who's looking on A perfect body with a perfect face - uh-huh.
No, I can't dance, I can't talk. The only thing about me is the way I walk. No, I can't dance, I can't sing I'm just standing here selling everything.
But I can walk. No I can't dance. No no no I can't dance No I said I can't sing. But I can walk.
| | | | Follow You Follow Me | | | | Autor tekstu: Mike Rutherford | | | | Stay with me, My love I hope you'll always be Right here by my side if ever I need you Oh my love
In your arms, I feels so safe and so secure Every day is such a perfect day to spend Alone with you
I will follow you will you follow me All the days and nights that we know will be I will stay with you, will you stay with me Just one single tear in each passing year
With the dark Oh I see so very clearly now All my fears are drifting by me so slowly now Fading away
I can say The night is long but you are here Close at hand though I'm better for the smile you give And while I live
I will follow you, will you follow me All the days and nights that we know will be I will stay with you will you stay with me Just on single tear in each passing year there will be
I will follow you, etc.
| | | | Hold On My Heart | | | | Autor tekstu: Phil Collins | | | | Hold on my heart just hold on to that feeling we both know we've been here before we both know what can happen
Hold on my heart cos I'm looking over your shoulder ooh please don't rush in this time don't show her how you feel
Hold on my heart throw me a lifeline I'll keep a place for you somewhere deep inside
So hold on my heart please tell her to be patient cos there has never been a time that I wanted something more
If I can recall this feeling and I know there's a chance oh I will be there yes I will be there be there for you whenever you want me to whenever you call oh I will be there Yes I will be there
Hold on my heart don't let her see you crying no matter where I go she'll always be with me
So hold on my heart just hold on to that feeling we both know we've been here before we both know what can happen So hold on my heart...
| | | | Abacab | | | | Autor tekstu: Mike Rutherford | | | | Look up on the wall, there on the floor, Under the pillow, behind the door. There's a crack in the mirror. Somewhere there's a hole in a window-pane. Do you think I'm to blame? Tell me do you think I'm to blame?
(When they do it) you're never there. (When they show it) you stop and stare. (Abacab) He's in anywhere. (Abacab)
If you're wrapping up the world 'Cos you've taken someone elses girl, When they turn on the pillow, Even when they answer the telephone, Don't you think that by now, Tell me, don't you think that by now.
(When they do it) you're never there. (When they show it) you stop and stare. (Abacab) He's in anywhere. (Abacab) Doesn't really care.
you want it, you got it, you gotta go you want it, you got it, now you know
It's an illusion, It's a game, Or reflection of someone else's name. When you wake in the morning, Wake and find you're covered in cellophane.
Well, there's a hole in there somewhere. Yeah, there's a hole in there somewhere. Baby, there's a hole in there somewhere. Now there's a hole in there somewhere.
(When they do it) you're never there. (When they show it) you stop and stare. (Abacab) he's in anywhere. (Abacab)
| | | | I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe) | | | | Autor tekstu: Peter Gabriel | | | | Lyrics based on the Cover Painting
It's one o'clock and time for lunch, When the sun beats down and I lie on the bench I can always hear them talk.
There's always been Ethel:
"Jacob, wake up! You've got to tidy your room now." And then Mister Lewis:
"Isn't it time that he was out on his own?" Over the garden wall, two little lovebirds - cuckoo to you!
Keep them mowing blades sharp...
I know what I like, and I like what I know;
getting better in your wardrobe, stepping one beyond your show.
Sunday night, Mr Farmer called, said:
"Listen son, you're wasting your time; there's a future for you
in the fire escape trade. Come up to town!" But I remebered a voice from the past;
"Gambling only pays when you're winning" - I had to thank old Miss Mort for schooling a failure.
Keep them mowing blades sharp...
I know what I like, and I like what I know;
getting better in your wardrobe, stepping one beyond your show.
When the sun beats down and I lie on the bench, I can always hear them talk. Me, I'm just a lawnmower - you can tell me by the way I walk.
| | | | No Son Of Mine | | | | Autor tekstu: Phil Collins | | | | Well the key to my survival was never in much doubt the question was how I could keep sane trying to find a way out
Things were never easy for me peace of mind was hard to fin and I needed a place where I could hide somewhere I could call mine
I didn't think much about it til it started happening all the time soon I was living with the fear everyday of what might happen that night
I couldn't stand to hear the crying of my mother and I remember when i swore that, that would be the Last they'd see of me And I never went home again
they say that time is a healer and now my wounds are not the same I rang the bell with my heart in my mouth I had to hear what he'd say
He sat me down to talk to me he looked me straight in the eyes
he said:
You're no son, you're no son of mine You're no son, you're no son of mine You walked out, you left us behind and you're no son, no son of mine
oh, his words how they hurt me, I'll never forget it and as the time, it went by, I lived to regret it
You're no son, you're no son of mine but where should I go, and what should I do you're no son, you're no son of mine but I came here for help, oh I came here for you
Well the years they passed so slowly I thought about him everyday what would I do, if we passed on the street would I keep running away
in and out of hiding places soon I'd have to face the facts we'd have to sit down and talk it over and that would mean going back
they say that time is a healer and now my wounds are not the same I rang that bell with my heart in my mouth I had to hear what he'd say
He sat me down to talk to me he looked me straight in the eyes
he said:
You're no son, you're no son of mine You're no son, you're no son of mine When you walked out, you left us behind and you're no son, you're no son of mine
oh, his words how they hurt me, I'll never forget it and as the time, it went by, I lived to regret it
You're no son, you're no son of mine But where should I go and what should I do You're no son, you're no son of mine But I came here for help, oh I was looking for you You're no son, you're no son of mine - oh You're no son - ha yeah, ha yeah, ha yeah, ha yeah You're no son, you're no son of mine - oh, oh...

| | | | In Too Deep | | | | Autor tekstu: Phil Collins | | | | All that time I was searching, nowhere to run to, it started me thinking, Wondering what I could make of my life, and who'd be waiting, Asking all kinds of questions, to myself, but never finding the answers, Crying at the top of my voice, and no one listening, All this time, I still remember everything you said There's so much you promised, how could I ever forget.
Listen, you know I love you, but I just can't take this, You know I love you, but I'm playing for keeps, Although I need you, I'm not gonna make this, You know I want to, but I'm in too deep.
So listen, listen to me, Ooh you must believe me, I can feel your eyes go thru me, But I don't know why.
Ooh I know you're going, but I can't believe It's the way that you're leaving, It's like we never knew each other at all, it may be my fault, I gave you too many reasons, being alone, when I didn't want to I thought you'd always be there, I almost believed you, All this time, I still remember everything you said, oh There's so much you promised, how could I ever forget.
Listen, you know I love you, but I just can't take this, You know I love you, but I'm playing for keeps, Although I need you, I'm not gonna make this, You know I want to, but I'm in too deep.
So listen, listen to me, I can feel your eyes go thru me
It seems I've spent too long Only thinking about myself - oh Now I want to spend my life Just caring bout somebody else.
Listen, you know I love you, but I just can't take this, You know I love you, but I'm playing for keeps, Although I need you, I'm not gonna make this, You know I want to, but I'm in too deep.
You know I love you, but I just can't take this, You know I love you, but I'm playing for keeps, Although I need you, I'm not gonna make this, You know I want to, but I'm in too deep...
| | | | Congo | | | | Autor tekstu: Tony Banks | | | | You say that I put chains on you But I don't think that's really true But if you want to be free from me You gotta lose me in another world
Send me to the congo, I'm free to leave There's always somewhere anybody can lead Send me to the congo, you have to believe You can do it if you wanna just do what you please
Like a soldier ant I will wait for the signal to act To take a walk right through the door If you don't want me here anymore
Send me to the congo, I'm free to leave There's always somewhere anybody can lead Send me to the congo, you have to believe You can do it if you wanna just do what you please
Into my heart you came and gave a whole new meaning to my life Into my world you brought a light, I thought it never would go out
Send me to the congo, I'm free to leave There's always somewhere anybody can lead
Send me to the congo, you have to believe You can do it if you wanna just do what you please
You can send me to the congo, I'm free to leave There's always somewhere anybody can lead Yes you can send me to the congo, you have to believe You can do it if you wanna just do what you please
I would never be the one to say you had no reason To want me somewhere else far, far away Someday you may understand, someday you will see That someone who would die for you is all I've ever been If that's how it's got to be, if that's what you want from me
I would never be the one to say you had no reason To want me somewhere else far, far away Someday you may understand, someday you will see...
| | | | Jesus He Knows Me | | | | Autor tekstu: Phil Collins | | | | You see the face on the TV screen coming at you every Sunday see that face on the billboard that man is me
On the cover of the magazine there's no question why I'm smiling you buy a piece of paradise you buy a piece of me
I'll get you everything you wanted I'll get you everything you need don't need to believe in hereafter just believe in me
Cos Jesus he knows me and he knows I'm right I've been talking to Jesus all my life oh yes he knows me and he knows I'm right and he's been telling me everything is alright
I believe in the family with my ever loving wife beside me but she don't know about my girlfriend or the man I met last night
Do you believe in God cos that's what I'm selling and if you wanna get to heaven I'll see you right
You won't even have to leave your house or get outta your chair you don't even have to touch that dial cos I'm everywhere
And Jesus he knows me and he knows I'm right I've been talking to Jesus all my life oh yes he knows me and he knows I'm right well he's been telling me everything's gonna be alright
Won't find me practising what I'm preaching won't find me making no sacrifice but I can get you a pocketful of miracles if you promise to be good, try to be nice God will take good care of you just do as I say, don't do as I do
I'm counting my blessings, I've found true happiness cos I'm getting richer, day by day you can find me in the phone book, just call my toll free number you can do it anyway you want just do it right away
There'll be no doubt in your mind you'll believe everything I'm saying if you wanna get closer to him get on your knees and start paying

Jesus he knows me Jesus he knows me, you know...
| | | | Twilight Alehouse | | | | Autor tekstu: Phil Collins | | | | Is it really true what they're saying Are you really sure there's nobody come for me When I'm walking home there is no-one Once there was a house, full of laughter - so warm Trying to pretend there is someone Someone who will care when I need it
I will now receive my comfort, conjured by the magic power of wine Just a drink, I'll get that drink, and I'm feeling good Just a drink, I'll get that drink, and I'm feeling fine Just a drink to take my sorrow Just a drink and you can blast tomorrow Just a drink to make me feel like a man again Now I'm down
When I walk outside, there is nowhere Children follow me, with their laughter - so cold... Casting just a glance at the churchyard Casting just a glance, at my painted female friend.
Now I'm on my way, I am falling Got to find some 'elp, ooh I will need that now
So I will receive my comfort, conjured by the magic power of wine Just a drink, I'll get that drink, and I'm feeling good Just a drink, I'll get that drink, and I'm feeling fine Just a drink to take my sorrow Just a drink and you can blast tomorrow Just a drink to make me feel like a man again Now I'm down...
I will now receive my comfort, conjured by the magic power of wine Just a drink, I'll get that drink, and I'm feeling good Just a drink, I'll get that drink, and I'm feeling fine Just a drink to take my sorrow Just a drink and you can blast tomorrow, now...
| | | | Misunderstanding | | | | Autor tekstu: Phil Collins | | | | There must be some misunderstanding There must be some kind of mistake I waited in the rain for hours And you were late
Now it's not like me to say the right thing But you could've called to let me know I checked your number twice, don't understand it So I went home
Well I'd been waiting for this weekend I thought that maybe we could see a show Never dreamed I'd have this feeling Oh but seeing you is believing That's why I don't know why You didn't show up that night
There must be some misunderstanding There must be some kind of mistake I was waiting in the rain for hours And you were late
Since then I've been running around trying to find you I went to the places that we always go I rang your home but got no answer Jumped in my car, I went round there Still don't believe it He was just leaving
There must be some misunderstanding There must be some kind of mistake...
| | | | Throwing It All Away | | | | Autor tekstu: Mike Rutherford | | | | Need I say I love you Need I say I care Need I say that emotion's, Something we don't share I don't want to be sitting here Trying to deceive you Cos you know I know baby That I don't wanna go.
We cannot live together We cannot live apart That's the situation I've known it from the start Every time that I look at you I can see the future Cos you know I know babe That I don't wanna go.
Throwing it all away Throwing it all away Is there nothing that I can say To make you change your mind I watch the world go round and round And see mine turning upside down You're throwing it all away.
Now who will light up the darkness Who will hold your hand Who will find you the answers When you don't understand Why should I have to be the one Who has to convince you Cos you know I know baby That I don't wanna go.
Someday you'll be sorry Someday when you're free Memories will remind you That our love was meant to be Late at night when you call my name The only sound you'll hear Is the sound of your voice calling Calling after me.
Just throwing it all away Throwing it all away There's nothing I can say We're throwing it all away Yes we're throwing it all away...
| | | | The Carpet Crawlers | | | | Autor tekstu: Peter Gabriel | | | | There is lambswool under my naked feet. The wool is soft and warm, - gives off some kind of heat. A salamander scurries into flame to be destroyed. Imaginary creatures are trapped in birth on celluloid. The fleas cling to the golden fleece, Hoping they'll find peace. Each thought and gesture are caught in celluloid. There's no hiding in memory. There's no room to avoid.
The crawlers cover the floor in the red ochre corridor. For my second sight of people, they've more lifeblood than before. They're moving in time to a heavy wooden door, Where the needle's eye is winking, closing on the poor. The carpet crawlers heed their callers: "We've got to get in to get out We've got to get in to get out We've got to get in to get out."
There's only one direction in the faces that I see; It's upward to the ceiling, where the chambers said to be. Like the forest fight for sunlight, that takes root in every tree. They are pulled up by the magnet, believing that they're free. The carpet crawlers heed their callers: "We've got to get in to get out We've got to get in to get out We've got to get in to get out."
Mild-mannered supermen are held in kryptonite, And the wise and foolish virgins giggle with their bodies glowing bright. Through a door a harvest feast is lit by candlight; It's the bottom of a staircase that spirals out of sight. The carpet crawlers heed their callers: "We've got to get in to get out We've got to get in to get out We've got to get in to get out."
The porcelain mannikin with shattered skin fears attack. The eager pack lift up their pitchers - they carry all they lack. The liquid has congealed, which has seeped out through the crack, And the tickler takes his stickleback. The carpet crawlers heed their callers: "We've got to get in to get out We've got to get in to get out We've got to get in to get out..."
