hey cockbreath why dont you refrain from fucking singing the song while you record it. no one typed in man on the corner genesis with some shit stain singing in the background.
Genesis Six Hours Live 1972-1980 2DVD set, Genesis The Lamb Live at the Shrine 1975 3-disc 2CD/DVD set plus more rare, vintage Genesis from the 70s available at Tommygun Video please see our Youtube channel for link to web site, video/audio clips, and more info
If you love this song, you should also listen to "Another Day in Paradise" (also by Phil Collins), which also is about the same thing---homelessness, but on a grander scale there.

Why the fuck are you filmin' from the TV or something and making all those noises in the background? The song is wonderful, but I'll click "dislike" on this one.
Though it could easily come off any of Phil's solo albums, because the themes of loneliness, paranoia and alienation are overly familiar to Genesis it evokes the band's hopeful humanism. "Man on the Corner" profoundly equates a relationship with a solitary figure (a bum, perhaps a poor homeless person?), "that lonely man on the corner" who just stands around. thats just me tho
@jcracker It's funny that you said that, because Phil Collins wrote both music and lyrics to this track himself, as opposed to most Genesis tracks being a collaborative effort for the music half of the tracks.
I Love this song ! but i really hate the recording it's so great to hear this song again so many beautiful memories of the 80's wish i could be able to go back in time !
Well I agree that the recording isn't great - but I had to give it thumbs up because it's the only non-live video of this on YouTube. So thanks for posting what you had.
see the lonely man there on the corner what hes waiting for i do know hes just waiting for that something to show.....Genesis is awesome glad in hall finally
I rarely see these LQ videos, but that's what happens when they deny copyrighted material by 'fingerprinting' Videos like this are so bad that they don't match the fingerprint and slip through.
Maybe because I was a teenager when most of Collins' schlock ballads were dominating the airwaves, I never had much of an appreciation for Collins' talent until recently.
@ChinoMoreno4life i feel you man, i listen to inveracity massmurder and the such and ive been rockin' out phil for a while now man his music is wonderful man
what a fucked up post dude no ones wants to hear you they searched phill collins, YOU ASSHAT
