Phil Collins - In the Air Tonight

"In the Air Tonight" by Phil Collins
Year: 1981
Album: Face Value

Lyrics:

I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
I've 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
I've seen your face before my friend, but I don't know if you know who I am
And 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
I've been waiting for this moment all my life, oh Lord
I can feel it in the air tonight, oh Lord, oh Lord
And I've been waiting for this moment 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 and the last time we ever met
But I know the reason why you keep your silence up, no you don't fool me
Because the hurt doesn't show, but the pain still grows
Some stranger to you and me

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

I can feel it coming in the air, I can feel it coming in the air
I've been waiting for this moment all my li-i-i-i-i-ife
I've been waiting for this moment all my life, my life

3:39 the best drums segment in the 80s

[wvd1979]

This makes me want to cruise the streets in a convertible at night with a black friend, then stop to call my ex wife.

Phil Collins, old school master of breaking it down.

@MegaTestMonkey thats a urban legend, Phil actually denied this... 

[MegaTestMonkey]

Real face palms result in missing limbs.

[MegaTestMonkey]

OK! I can admit that I was misinformed in the mid '90s So I looked it up on Song Facts. I feel better now for looking it up.

[Johndeerebelguy57]

I Always Miss the drum part i act like it but i miss it

@ElBasuRero01 it sneaks up on you.

[JudasRein]

Just so it doesn't spread, what MegaTestMonkey has said is NOT true. Phil Collins himself said so. Just Google it.

@MegaTestMonkey I totally missed the sarcasm. *face palm*

[damianpaz]

I never payed attention to these lyrics before. He's talking about beating the shit out of some bastard. I've also waited for that moment a few times and it rocks almost as much as this song.

That pic really looks like Stabler from SVU, lol

[letimarie89]
