In The Air Tonight (Demo) lyrics - Phil Collins
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord
And I've been waiting for this moment, for all my life, oh lord
Can you feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord, oh lord
Well, if you told me you were drowning
I would not lend a hand
I've seen your face before my friend
But I don't know if you know who I am
Well, I was there and I saw what you did
I saw it with my own two eyes
So you can wipe off that grin, I know where you've been
It's all been a pack of lies
And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord
Well I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh lord
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord
Well I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh lord, oh lord
Well I remember, I remember don't worry
How could I ever forget
It's the first time, the last time we ever met
But I know the reason why you keep this silence up
No you don't fool me
The hurt doesn't show, but the pain still grows
It's no stranger to you and me
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord
Well I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh lord
I can feel it in the air tonight, oh lord, oh lord
Well I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh lord
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord
And I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh lord
I can feel it in the air tonight, oh lord, oh lord
Well I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh lord, oh lord
I can feel it in the air tonight, oh lord, oh lord
Well I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh lord, oh lord
I Missed Again (Demo) lyrics - Phil Collins
So you finally came right out and said it girl
What took you so long
It was in your eyes, that look's been there for too long
I'm waiting in line
Would you say if I was wasting my time
Did I miss again
I think I missed again, oh
I think about it from time to time
When I'm lonely and on my own
I try to forget and yet, still rush to the telephone
I'm waiting in line
Would you say if I was wasting my time
Or did I miss again
I think I missed again, oh
Oh, I missed again, oh
I think I missed again, oh
Well it feels like something you want so bad
Then you think you've got it, but it's something you already had
And you can feel it all around you, but it's something you just can't touch, oh
And I feel it coming at me
Yes, I can feel it coming at me
Oh, did I miss again
I think I missed again, oh
Oh, I missed again, oh
I think I missed again, oh
Seems I'm waiting in line
But would you say if I was wasting my time
Did I miss again
I think I missed again, oh
Oh, I missed again, oh
I think I missed again, oh
Oh, did I miss again, oh
I think I missed again, oh
Oh, I missed again, oh
I think I missed again, oh
If Leaving Me Is Easy (Demo) lyrics - Phil Collins
I read all the letters
I read each word that you've sent to me
And though it's past now and the words start to fade
All the memories I have still remain
I've kept all the pictures but I hide my feelings so no one knows
Oh sure my friends all come round but I'm in a crowd on my own
It's 'cause you're gone now but your heart, heart still remains
And it'll be here if you come again
You see I'd heard the rumours, I knew before you let me know
But I didn't believe it, not you, no you would not let me go
Seems I was wrong but I love, I love you the same
And that's the one thing that you can't take away but just remember
If leaving me is easy
Then you know coming back is harder
If leaving me is easy
Then you know coming back is harder
If leaving me is easy
Then you know coming back is harder
If leaving me is easy
Then you know coming back is harder
If leaving me is easy
Then you know coming back is harder
If leaving me is easy
Then you know coming back is harder
If leaving me is easy
Then you know coming back is harder
The Man With The Horn lyrics - Phil Collins
They come from miles around just to hear him play
He's on the same street corner almost every day
And there's always a crowd wherever he goes
And when he blows his horn, well everybody knows
I only wanna see him play
All the girls 'n' boys they wanna see him play
Nobody else they wanna see him play
And he brings a tear to the eye
He'll make you smile of make you cry
And nobody asks him why
'Cause they just wanna see him play
They come from every way, every night
He's got a band so out there, it's outta sight
And the boys in the dance hall are rocking in the aisle
The girls up front - they wanna see him smile
I only wanna see him play
All the girls 'n' boys they wanna see him play
Nobody else they wanna see him play
And he brings a tear to the eye
He'll make you smile of make you cry
And nobody asks him why
'Cause they just wanna see him play
Yeah, he's the man with the horn
Ooh they wanna see him play
Yeah, he's the man with the horn
Ooh they wanna see him play
Yeah, he's the man with the horn
You know they wanna see him, they wanna see him
They wanna, they wanna, they wanna see him play
(Play it, Don!)
Ah, station to station, coast to coast
Well you can hear all his records on the radio
He makes every evening feel like Saturday night
And if you're happy or sad he'll make the feeling right
I only wanna see him play
All the girls 'n' boys they wanna see him play
Nobody else they wanna see him play
And he brings a tear to the eye
He'll make you smile of make you cry
And nobody asks him why
'Cause they just wanna see him play
Yes, you know they wanna see him, they wanna see him
Chow, they know they wanna see him, they wanna see him
They wanna, they wanna, they wanna see him play
They wanna see him play, play, play, play
Oh, all the girls and boys wanna see him play
All the girls and boys wanna see him play
All the girls and boys...
I Like The Way lyrics - Phil Collins
I look out the window every day, I see the world go by
Watching I sit and wait for you
Just hoping you'll catch my eye
You see me stare but I don't care
I like the way you smile
One day I'll get to talk to you
Ooh, right now well I'm too shy
But in my world of make believe
You're the one what I need, oh, oh...
I could imagine me with you
But it's an impossibility
I'd love to try to realise, I gotta deal with reality
But if you turn my way, I'd look away, ooh even face-to-face
And deep inside me, inside my mind
Someone else is trying to take my place
But in my world of make believe
You're the one what I need, oh, oh...
Oh, come with me, I'll show you everything
Come with me, ooh
Come with me, I'll show you everything
It could be, come along with me and let me take you there, oh, oh...
I look out the window every day, I see the world go by
Watching I sit and wait for you
Ooh, just hoping that you'll walk by
But if you turn my way, I'd look away, ooh even face-to-face
And deep inside, ooh in my mind
Someone else is trying to take my place
In my world of make believe
You're the one what I need, oh, oh...
Come with me, ooh
Come with me, I'll show you everything
It could be, come along with me and let me take you there, oh, oh...
All of my life, come with me, come with me, come with me...
All of my life...
I like the way you smile
All of my life...
Homeless lyrics - Phil Collins
("Another Day in Paradise" Demo)
She calls out to the man on the street
'Sir, can you help me?
It's cold and I've nowhere to sleep
Is there somewhere you can tell me?'
He walks on, doesn't look back
He pretends he can't hear her
Starts to whistle as he crosses the street
Seems embarrassed to be there
Oh, think twice
'Cause it's another day for you and me in paradise
Oh, think twice
'Cause it's another day for you, you in paradise
Think about it
She calls out to the man on the street
He can see she's been crying
She's got blisters on the soles of her feet
She can't walk but she's trying
Oh, think twice
'Cause it's another day for you and me in paradise
Oh, think twice
It's just another day for you, you and me in paradise
Just think about it
Oh, Lord
Is there nothing more anybody can do
Oh, Lord
There must be something you can say
You can tell from the lines on her face
You can see that she's been there
Probably been moved on from every place
'Cause she didn't fit in there
Oh, think twice
'Cause it's another day for you and me in paradise
Oh, think twice
It's just another day for you, you and me in paradise
Just think about it
Mm
Think about it
It's just another day for you and me in paradise
It's just another day for you and me in paradise
(Para-, paradise)
It's just another day for you and me in paradise (just think about it)
It's just another day for you and me in paradise (paradise, just think about it)
(Para-, paradise)
It's just another day for you and me in paradise (paradise, paradise)
It's just another day for you and me in paradise (paradise, just another day, think about it)
(Para-, paradise)
It's just another day for you and me in paradise (just think about it)
Broadway Chorus lyrics - Phil Collins
("Something Happened On The Way To Heaven" Home Demo)
We had a life, we had a love
But you don't know what you've got 'til you lose it
Well that was then and this is now
And I want you back
How many times do I have to say I'm sorry
How can something so good go so bad
How can something so right go so wrong
I don't know, I don't have all the answers
But I want you back
How many times can I say I'm sorry
You can run, and you can hide
But I'm not leaving less you come with me
We've had our problems but I'm on your side
You're all I need, please believe in me
I only wanted someone to love
But something happened on the way to heaven
It got a hold of me and wouldn't let go
And I want you back
How many times do I have to say I'm sorry
You can run, and you can hide
But I'm not leaving less you come with me
We've had our problems but I'm on your side
You're all I need, please believe in me
They say you can't take it with you when you go
And I believe it
But taking what I've got or being here with you, you know
I'd rather leave it
You can run, and you can hide
But I'm not leaving less you come with me
We've had our problems but I'm on your side
You're all I need, please believe in me
Both Sides Of The Story (Early Demo) lyrics - Phil Collins
There we are, on the side of the gutter on the street
Oh son of mine, why, gotta know why oh why oh?
I don't know Son, tell me why
All the lights stay on all night
In our life he lies at night, oh God
But you know
We need to hear both sides of the story
Oh, both sides of the story
And I know why, you don't know our side of town
It waits in the darkness on fire
It's all that I'm gonna try
And somebody, oh made me realize that I'm done, I'm done, I'm done
But you know we need to hear
Both sides of the story
We need to hear both sides of the story
Hey, no, no, no, no, oh no, no
Oh, la, la, la, la
Both sides, side out
Hey, oh... why
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh
Yes I know I'm outside
Yes, it's the middle of the night
Yes I'm hard on myself now
Oh my son of mine...
Yes I'm all by myself
Don't ask me how or why I know
But we always need to hear both sides of the story
By the time you heard this I will be gone
We'll have some help, I will move on
You and I, we were like husbands and wives
And between us, this one heart
Will have two lives
And you know, we'll see both sides of the story
Both sides of the story
Oh, both sides of the story
Yes, both sides of the story
Oh, both sides of the story
Both sides of the story
Both sides of the story
Both sides, both sides of the story
Both sides of the story, yeah, yeah
(Both sides of the story)
Both sides, both sides of the story
(Both sides of the story)
Both sides of the story
(Both sides of the story)
Both sides of the story
(Both sides of the story)
Must hear both sides of the story
Everyday (Early Demo) lyrics - Phil Collins
I got lost, couldn't find my way
And I guess there's nothing more to say
Love can make you blind, make you act so strange
But I'm here and here I will stay
So everyday I cry (everyday...)
Yes everyday I fall (everyday...)
Do you ever wonder why (everyday...)
Why I love everything about you
But everyday I say I'll try
To make my heart be still
'Til then every way there is to cry
Ourselves to sleep we will
It picked me up, knocked me off my feet
I've got no way to explain
Still I love you, love you, love you but this fire inside
Will never see the light of day
So everyday goes by (everyday...)
And everyday I fall (everyday...)
It makes me wonder why (everyday...)
My life's worth nothing without you
But everyday I say I'll try
To make my heart be still
'Cause every way there is to cry
Ourselves to sleep, we will
You'll never know, no, no, no, no, no
You'll never know just how close we were
You'll never know, no, no, no, no, no
You'll never know
No you'll never see
The book closes and we try to forget
But I know that things won't change
How we feel, how life goes on
And that seems so strange
And so the light fades away (everyday...)
Try, try, try as I may (everyday...)
I can't stop thinking about you
It seems my life's worth nothing without you
But everyday I say I'll try
To make my heart be still
'Til then every way there is to cry
Ourselves to sleep, we will
Everyday, everyday you know I try so hard
Everyday, everyday it gets a little harder...
For A Friend lyrics - Phil Collins
When I saw him last
He had that look in his eyes
I said, "Do you need to talk?"
He said, "No."
So I called him up, asked him again and I waited a while -
He began to speak, then he started to cry
You know some things are best left unspoken
And some things just never work out
And sometimes, seems you try and you try and whatever you do
There's a fix that you're in, and you just can't get out
He said, "I need your help. I need it now
Give me the strength to go on."
Though I didn't know what
I knew that something was wrong
But he still had his pride
He'd tell me in time
Well this feeling inside
Kept eating at me
I was losing a friend, and I had to know why
When I heard the voice on the phone, I knew it was bad news
So I rushed to be by his side
And we said goodbye for the last time
I gently hugged him, and kissed him goodbye
He whispered, "I need your help, I need it now
Give me the strength to go on."
We were always laughing
I just remember laughing, mama
We were always laughing
Oh I need your help, I need it now
Give me the strength to go on
Though as time goes by, and it all becomes clear
We can see the deceit, we see the lies
So I asked myself, over and over, and over again
What did they know? What did they hide?
Fools, leading the innocent blindly
Fools, turning away
And I know that
When I think of my friend with that look in his eyes
And if they told the truth, he might be here today
I need your help, I need it now
Just give me the strength to go on, on
I remember the laughing
We were always laughing
Oh no - it's just strength we need now
Just the strength to go on
We need the strength to go on
It's Everywhere lyrics - Phil Collins
It can be in the way you're walking
When you don't know where you're going too
It's in the way you make love to your lady friend
Some people can sit still, and you can tell they got it
If you can't ask, you can smile while you pretend
Oh, yeah, yeah, look around, it's everywhere
Oh, yeah, yeah, you can find it, it's everywhere
It could be in the way you wear clothes when you going out at night
It could be in the way you tip your hat to a passer by
It could be in the way you hold someone's hand so tight
It could be the way you kiss a long long lost friend goodbye
Oh, yeah, yeah, look around, it's everywhere
You almost touch it
Oh, yeah, yeah, you can find it, it's everywhere
I just remember it's not how smooth you move
It's what you can't see
Touching somebody's heart
Just reach out, it's everywhere
Reach out and touch
Oh, yeah, yeah, it's everywhere, everywhere, everywhere, listen
It could be in the way you put your arm around someone to give them some comfort
It can be in the things you say to show you care
It can be in the way you talk to your loved one on the phone
It can be in the way you run your fingers through her hair
Oh, yeah, yeah, look around, it's everywhere
So strong you can almost touch it
Oh, yeah, yeah, you can find it, it's everywhere
Check it out people, you know it's everywhere
It's no mystery you can find it, if you're looking, you know it's everywhere
Remember it's what you can't see, the touch of somebody's heart
Just reach out, it's everywhere
Yeah, yeah, it's everywhere
Everywhere, everywhere, everywhere, everywhere
It's everywhere, it's just a feeling, people you know
It's everywhere
Reach out and touch
Reach out and touch
It's everywhere
Tears Of A Clown lyrics - Phil Collins
("Wake Up Call" (2003 Version))
Now if there's a smile on my face
It's only there trying to fool the public
But when it comes down to fooling you
Now honey that's quite a different subject
But don't let my glad expression
Give you the wrong impression
'Cause really I'm sad, sad, sad, oh I'm sadder than sad
Darling I'm hurting and I want you so bad
Like a clown I appear to be glad ooh yeah
Well they're some sad things known to man
But ain't too much sadder than
The tears of a clown when there's no one around
Oh yeah, baby baby
Now if I appear to be carefree
It's only to camouflage my sadness
And honey to shield my pride I try
To cover this hurt with a show of gladness
But don't let my show convince you
That I've been happy since you
'Cause I need to go, oh I need you so
Look I'm hurt and I want you to know
For others I put on a show
Just like Pagliacci did
I try to keep my surface hid
Smiling in the crowd I try
But in a lonely room I cry
The tears of a clown
When there's no one around, oh yeah, baby baby
Now if there's a smile on my face
Don't let my glad expression
Give you the wrong impression
Don't let this smile I wear
Make you think that I don't care
The tears of a clown
Yeah the tears of a clown
When there's no one around
Oh baby baby
Another Time lyrics - Phil Collins
Lying awake
I look out my window
Wondering to myself
If this madness will ever seize
Oh but I see a light
I see a crack of hope
And I close my eyes
They can't tear this love apart
Though they try
Should we believe in the things they say?
Oh, but how would they know
'Cause in another time another place
It might have been so different
Oh, we set aside the world
We'll laugh, we'll show them all
If we can float across the stream
Just smile and float across the stream
We'll see it all pass us by
You know what?
They don't know
'Cause in another time, in another time, another place
It might have been so different
Oh, but here we are
And here we'll stay
We'll set aside the world
We can float across the stream
We can float across the stream
Find the path we want
I know we will, I know we will
Find the path we want
Reach across the hill and
Reach across the hill
We gonna go believe me we gonna go
We gonna make it
We gonna make it
'Cause nothing can stop us now
No, no, nothing can stop us now
We gonna make it
Yes, we gonna make it, girl
Because nothing can come between us
Not now, nothing can come between us
We try so hard
We can do it
We can do it
We can do it if we want
We can do it, girl
We can do it
We're gonna cross the stream
Find the path we want
Lying awake
I look out my window
Wondering to myself
Will this madness ever seize
Oh, but I see a light
I see a crack of hope
And I close my eyes
I close my eyes
Nothing can come between us now
We close our eyes
Close our eyes
Crystal Clear lyrics - Phil Collins
If you fall I will pick you up
Brush you down and wipe away your tears
When it seems that there's no way out
I'll hold you tight. And scare away your fears
Through the fire and through the rain
One thing's crystal clear
Just remember I'll be here, if you turn around
There will be times when the shadows fall
But I'll be there to guide you through the dark
Imagine the sun is in your eyes
I'll be your shade until the sunset stops
Even though the snow is falling
One thing's crystal clear
Just remember I'll be here, if you turn around
I'll be your castle in the sky
I'll be your comfort, child
I will be your shield, your fan faith trumpeter
Through the storm clouds and the thunder
One thing's crystal clear
Just remember I'll be here, if you turn around
There could be times, much like this
When all you see is way beyond your reach
All years [?] you can't find the door
I'll be there for you. Sleeping at your feet
Through the mist and through the rain
One thing's crystal clear
If you need me I'll be here, if you turn around
Just remember I'll be here, if you turn around
Hey Now Sunshine lyrics - Phil Collins
Hey now, hey now, seems we're looking ooh some sunshine
Running at the door, she stops to brush her hair
Glancing up and down at her reflection
Did she look away, just in case he looked away?
She'd thought of some excuse for conversation
She knew that he was cure, she seen him yesterday
Talking and laughing with his sister
How long was he staying, would he still be there
She satisfied herself with this, that you should only stare
Hey now, hey now, seems we're looking ooh some sunshine
All the night before his man was everywhere
But she didn't know exactly what they call him
Inventing stories to pass away the time
Until she find a courage to confront him
Managing to mention him in everything she said
She knew she never felt like this before
How long was he staying, would he still be there
She satisfied herself with this, that you should only stare
Hey now, hey now, seems we're looking ooh some sunshine
In a second her heart was broken
She couldn't believe her eyes
Her pulse was beating faster every minute
Looking out the window, the car was driving off
His holiday was over, the romance with it
Running out the door, tears in her eyes
She didn't know what to say or what to do
Did he leave an address, will he be back next year?
Slowly the sunshine started broking through...
Hey now, hey now, seems we're looking ooh some sunshine...
High Flying Angel lyrics - Phil Collins
While the city starts to sleep
She's watching over you
Smoke hangs on the downtown skyline
Moon pushes through
But some people's on fire tonight
Wind rushing round their feet
Someone's gonna sleep well tonight
Word is on the street
So high flyer, high flyer
Fly high tonight
Fly angel, fly higher
Fly here tonight
It's a tribal thing we're seeing
War paint on the face
A question of territory, pride and space
People strutting and feathers flying
It's a sorry scene
Someone's sleeping well tonight
Word is on the street
So high flyer, high flyer
Fly high tonight
Fly angel, fly higher
Fly here tonight
Brother, my brother
Don't let me down again
Mother oh mother
Wipe away your tears again
High flying bird embraced him
Held him to her breast
Soft feathers brushed his face
Finally came to rest
Gently rocking him to and fro
He quietly went to sleep
Someone's found a place of peace tonight
Word is on the street
So high flyer, high flyer
Fly high tonight
Fly angel, fly higher
Fly away tonight
High flyer, high flyer
Fly high tonight
Fly angel, fly higher
Fly safe tonight
It's Only Loving (Demo) lyrics - Phil Collins
It's only loving, in all its strangest ways
Listen up, it's only loving, no need to run away
Oh it's only loving, a search for higher ground
It's only loving, and only love can turn you around
Me, not be good. Me, not be right
Me, not be black. Me, not be white
Me, not be seen. Me, not be near
And what you're feeling may not be clear
Some people, they say, you got to be stronger
But don't you buy it
Look to yourself, let your heart be your guide
Why don't you try it?
The moon, it may fall. The mountains may crumble
No doubt about it
Oceans may rise. The mighty will tumble
But if I got you, I don't mind
It's only loving, in all its strangest ways
Listen up, it's only loving, no need to run away
Oh it's only loving, a search for higher ground
It's only loving, and only love can turn you around
Me, not be old. Me, not be new
Me, not be me. Me, not be you
Me, not before. Me, not be late
When evil come, will you wait?
Some people dream and I lost belief for the moment
But don't you buy it
Be true to yourself. Just follow your instincts
Why don't you try it?
If you stand tall, all over the round you were running
No doubt about it
These stars they may fall, the tide may be turning
But if I got you, then I don't mind
It's only loving, in all its strangest ways
Oh I know, it's only loving, no need to run away
Oh it's only loving, a search for higher ground
It's only loving, and only love can turn you around
It's only loving, in all its strangest ways
Oh I know, it's only loving, no need to run away
Oh it's only loving, a search for higher ground
It's only loving, and only love can turn you around
It's only loving, in all its strangest ways
Oh I know, it's only loving
Separate Lives lyrics - Phil Collins (feat. Marilyn Martin)
You called me from the room in your hotel
All full of romance for someone that you met
And telling me how sorry you were, leaving so soon
And that you miss me sometimes when you're alone in your room
Do I feel lonely too?
You have no right to ask me how I feel
You have no right to speak to me so kind
I can't go on just holding on to times
Now that we're living separate lives
Well I held on to let you go
And if you lost your love for me, well you never let it show
There was no way to compromise
So now we're living (living)
Separate lives
Ooh, it's so typical, love leads to isolation
So you build that wall (build that wall)
Yes, you build that wall (build that wall)
And you make it stronger
Well you have no right to ask me how I feel
You have no right to speak to me so kind
Some day I might (I might) find myself looking in your eyes
But for now, we'll go on living separate lives
Yes for now, we'll go on living separate lives
Separate lives
TV Story lyrics - Phil Collins
Simpson family hardly spoke
With seven kids, it wasn't a joke
Just meeting at night on the sofa
All trying to watch TV
Tucked away in North West Three
Car in the garage, but dad lost the key
So no-one leaves, not even for school
Place is a mess, but the game shows are cool
Someday, they'll get a life
Put away the remote control
Smell the roses 'fore you get old
Hey you, get a life
Turn it off and throw it away
Wake up and walk away
'Cause grandma, granddad, remember the days
Before the one-eyed monster came
Nobody listens as they say all this
Cause everybody's glued
Lunch and dinner in front of the box
Nobody moves, if somebody knocks
Nobody ever hears the phone
Conversation's a memory
Someday, they'll get a life
With the remote control in the bin
Wave to the world you're living in
One day, they'll get a life
But at the moment, it's out of their reach
A life of luxury on the beach
One fine day, a challenge was thrown
By a man at the door in an Escort
"All this could be yours" he said with a grin
Your dream, complete with passport
Challenge was to see, if they could change
TV dinners were all that remained
The men from the game show took the set
Could they survive without it?
Well, mum and dad learned to laugh again
Kids went out and made some friends
All because of the empty space
Standing in the corner
Hey now, they've got a life
Remote control's nowhere to be seen
That's made 'em the dishes clean
Oh yeah, it's a brand new life
So go put on your dancing shoes
Shout it out and spread the news
Oh yeah, it's a brand new life
(Get a brand new life!)
It's out there somewhere
(Don't just settle for second best!)
Oh yeah, a brand new life
(Call now!)
Just waiting for you someplace somewhere
(All this could be yours and more!)
Oh yeah, it's a brand new life
(All you have to do is survive for it!)
It's out there somewhere
(Don't just sit there now!)
Oh yeah, a brand new life
(Get 'em one, just go get 'em one!)
Just waiting for you someplace somewhere
(Apply now! Follow me...)
