Whats Your Favorite Phil Collins Song

[Parche]

Inside out, ooh you got me inside out
Oh inside out, oh inside out

Now everybody keeps on telling me how to be
And everybody tells me do what they say
Oh I'll help myself it's up to me and no-one else
But till I'm ready just keep out of my way

Inside out, ooh you got me inside out
Oh inside out, oh inside out

Now everybody's got me running round, up and down
And here I am going out of my mind
But I won't lose sight of all the, the things I'm looking for
They're coming to me and I'm taking what's mine

Inside out, ooh you got me inside out
Oh inside out, oh inside out

I'll play the game
We'll make the same mistakes
It's all the same
If we can give and take
Hold on, hold on, ooh
Hold on, hold on, ooh

Inside out, ooh you got me inside out
Oh inside out, oh inside out

All of my life I've been searching and hanging on
Turning a corner, never know what I'd find
But now I'm back again like I never went away
Ooh let me in I'm through with wasting my time

Inside out, ooh you got me inside out
Oh inside out, oh inside out
Oh inside out, ooh you got me inside out
Oh inside out, oh inside out
-----We said goodbye to a dear old friend
And we packed our bags and left feeling sad
It's the only way
We said hello as we turned the key
A new roof over our heads
Gave a smile
It's the only way
Only way

Turn your head
And don't look back
Set your sails for a new horizon
Don't turn around don't look down
Oh there's life across the tracks
And you know it's really not surprising
It gets better when you get there oh

Well it really don't matter much where you are
Cos home is in your heart
It's a feeling that you wake with one day
Some people key p running all their life
And still find they haven't gone too far
They don't see it's the feeling inside - the feeling inside oh

Turn your head and don't look back
Just set your sails for a new horizon
Don't turn around don't look down
Oh there's life across the tracks
And you know it's really not surprising
It gets better when you get there

We said hello as we turned the key
A new roof over our heads
Gave a smile - it's the only way

24. Phil's Indifference Trilogy

[hellbound-liberal]

4. I've always liked "You'll be in my heart" from the Tarzan soundtrack

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIVaUcE4kAM

Come stop your crying
It will be all right
Just take my hand Hold it tight

I will protect you
from all around you
I will be here
Don't you cry

For one so small,
you seem so strong
My arms will hold you,
keep you safe and warm
This bond between us
Can't be broken
I will be here
Don't you cry

'Cause you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more

You'll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You'll be here in my heart, always

Why can't they understand
the way we feel
They just don't trust
what they can't explain
I know we're different but,
deep inside us
We're not that different at all

And you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more

Don't listen to them
'Cause what do they know
We need each other,
to have, to hold
They'll see in time
I know

When destiny calls you
You must be strong
I may not be with you
But you've got to hold on
They'll see in time
I know
We'll show them together

'Cause you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on,
Now and forever more

Oh, you'll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You'll be in my heart, always
Always

[KitchenWitch]

5. There is only one song of his that I like!

We Said Hello Goodbye

We said goodbye to a dear old friend
And we packed our bags and left feeling sad
It's the only way
We said hello as we turned the key
A new roof over our heads
Gave a smile
It's the only way
Only way

Turn your head
And don't look back
Set your sails for a new horizon
Don't turn around don't look down
Oh there's life across the tracks
And you know it's really not surprising
It gets better when you get there oh

Well it really don't matter much where you are
Cos home is in your heart
It's a feeling that you wake with one day
Some people keep running all their life
And still find they haven't gone too far
They don't see it's the feeling
inside - the feeling inside oh

Turn your head and don't look back
Just set your sails for a new horizon
Don't turn around don't look down
Oh there's life across the tracks
And you know it's really not surprising
It gets better when you get there

We said hello as we turned the key
A new roof over our heads
Gave a smile - it's the only way

[Parche]

7. "The Roof Is Leaking"

The Roof Is Leaking - Phil Collins
The roof is leaking and the wind is howling
Kids are crying 'cos the sheets are so cold
I woke this morning found my hands were frozen
I've tried to fix the fire, but you know the damn thing's too old

It's been months now, since we heard from our Mary,
I wonder if she ever made the coast
She and her young man, they both moved out there
But I sure hope they write, just to let us know

And me, I'm getting stronger by the minute
My wife's expecting, but I hope she can wait
'Cos this winter looks like it's gonna be another bad one
But Spring'll soon be here,
Oh God I hope it's not late

Ma and Pa lived here, and theirs before them
Tried their hardest to make it a home
Seems so long now since they passed over
Hope my children'll try to make it their own

The roof is leaking and the wind is howling
Kids are crying, 'cos the sheets are so cold
I woke this morning found my hands were frozen
I've tried to fix the fire, but you know the damn thing's too old

And me, I'm getting stronger by the minute
My wife's expecting, but I hope she can wait
'Cos this winter looks like it's gonna be another bad one
But Spring'll soon be here,
Oh God I hope it's not late

[Fire Walk With Me]

8. There's something that I like equally about all Phil Collins songs.

There's this blessed moment that occurs...right after any of them end. I love that space after any Phil Collins song. It brings a tear to the eye and a catch in the throat.

Sorry. I liked him with Genesis, especially the entire ABACAB LP, but when he discovered his ego... :shrug:

[no name no slogan]

9. "Favorite" and "Phil Collins" do not appear together in my vocabulary

but if I have to pick one, I'd have to go for the obvious and say "In The Air Tonight". It seems really cliched today, but when I first heard it in the summer of 1981 it was an eye-opener-- at least production-wise.

[flvegan]

10. "Against All Odds" I guess.

Takes me to a good place in my past.

[quip]

31. You are a softie and a wussy

(It's my fav for the same reason) :D :hi: :pals:

[Swede]

12. In the Air tonight.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gz7gajAb2ww

I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord
Ive been waiting for this moment, 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
Ive seen your face before my friend
But I dont 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 the grin, I know where youve been
Its all been a pack of lies

And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord
Ive been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh lord
I can feel it in the air tonight, oh lord, oh lord
And Ive been waiting for this moment all my life, oh lord, oh lord

Well I remember, I remember dont worry
How could I ever forget, its the first time, the last time we ever met
But I know the reason why you keep your silence up, no you dont fool me
The hurt doesnt show; but the pain still grows
Its no stranger to you or me

And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord...

[Perry Logan]

26. Seconded! That one really knocks me out.

[applegrove]

27. I've loved that song but never paid attention to the lyrics. Didn't know it was

about revenge. Now I dislike it.

[Throd]

13. Any one that I don't have to listen to.

[progressoid]

15. Take Me Home

http://youtube.com/watch?v=egJR3K6UIJY

[LynneSin]

16. How about asking me my favorite types of rectal probing

:eyes:

[greendog]

29. ~

:rofl:

[SteppingRazor]

17. The one where he has a massive infarction midway through the song.

God, that was cruel even for me.

[RetroLounge]

19. The one where he plays drums

and keeps his fucking mouth shut while Peter Gabriel does the singing.

That one.

[Greylyn58]

20. I've always loved "Another Day in Paradise"

I remember the first time I heard it. It stuck in my heart and I feel like we are living it again.

Another Day in Paradise

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, 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

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
Can't walk but she's trying

Oh think twice, 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

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
'Cos she didn't fit in there

Oh think twice, 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

[tandot]

21. Both sides: Can't turn back the years...

Could've given you everything that you need
but I cannot turn back the years
The perfect love was all you wanted from me
but I cannot turn back the years

So we have to be strong, and I'm finding that hard
we have to move on, but no matter how hard I try
if your heart's in pieces, you look for the truth
and when I look deep down inside I know, it's too bad I love you

Sometimes, hits me in the morning, hits me at night
that I cannot turn back the years
so I look out my window, turn off my light
but I cannot turn back the years

Can't make it seem easy, when you're all that I see
can't live in a dream and I won't serenade the truth
people are hurting and they've looking to me
and I look at you there's nothing more to say, it's too bad I love you

But I'm never gonna give it up

All that I lived for, all the I dreamed
but I cannot turn back the years
You're the water I drink, you're the air that I breath
but I cannot turn back the years

So we have to be strong, and I'm finding that hard
we have to move on, but no matter how hard I try
if your heart's in pieces, you look for the truth
and when I look deep down inside I know, it's too bad I love you

But I'm never gonna give it up

[RadiationTherapy]

22. Sussudio - Phil

and Abacab - Genesis

Also, I am lying.

[MikeH]

23. "In the Air" and "In Too Deep"

And also "Another Day in Paradise"

[Scooter24]

25. Something Happened On The Way To Heaven

We had our life, we had our love
But you don't know what you've got till you lose it
Well, that was then and this is now
And I want you back
How many times can I say, I'm sorry
Yes, 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
And I want you back
How many times can I say, I'm sorry

Well, you know you can run and you can hide
But I'm not leaving unless you come with me
We've had our problems but I'm on your side
You're all that 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
I want you back, how many times can I say, I'm sorry
Yes, I'm sorry

Well, you know you can run and you can hide
But I'm not leaving unless you come with me
We've had our problems but I'm on your side
You're all that I need, please believe me

Well you know you can run and you can hide
But I'm not leaving until it's all over
We've had our problems but I'm on your side
You're all that I need, let me show you

They say, you can't take it with you when you go
I don't believe it, taking what I've got or being here with you
You know I, I'd rather leave it

Well you know you can run and you can hide
But I'm not leaving unless you come with me
We've had our problems but I'm on your side
You're all that I need, please believe me

[greendog]

28. "Oh Danny Boy" n/t

[soleft]

30. I used to sing groovy kind of love to my son when he was a baby

I downloaded it recently onto my Ipod and the first time I heard it I was on the bus to work and I just started crying. I had a cornball idea the other day that if he ever got married and had a traditional cornball reception, when the groom dances with his mother...well, you get the idea.

[CBHagman]

32. I guess "Follow You, Follow Me."

I did like a lot of his post-Genesis stuff, but I have particularly happy memories of the first time I heard "Follow You, Follow Me."

[Skittles]

33. Duchess

when he was with Genesis; also, I loved his version of Groovy Kind of Love

Times were good,
She never thought about the future, she just did what she would
Oh but she really cared
About her music, it all seemed so important then,

And she dreamed that every time that she performed
Everyone would cry for more,
That all she had to do was step into the light,
And everyone would start to roar.

And on the road,
Where all but a few fall by the wayside on the grassier verge,
She battled through
Against the others in her world, and the sleep, and the odds.

But now everytime that she performed
Oh everybody cried for more,
Soon all she had to do was step into the light,
For everyone to start to roar.
And all the people cried, you're the one we've waited for.

Oh but time went by
It wasn't so easy now, all uphill, and not feeling so strong.
Yes times were hard,
Too much thinking 'bout the future and what people might want.

And then there was the time that she performed
When nobody called for more
And soon everytime she stepped into the light,
They really let her know the score.
But she dreamed of the times when she sang all her songs
And everybody cried for more,
When all she had to do was step into the light
For everyone to start to roar.
And all the people cried, you're the one we've waited for.
