The time I like is the rush hour, 'cause I like the rush
The pushing of the people - I like it all so much
Such a mass of motion - do not know where it goes
I move with the movement and ... I have the touch

I'm waiting for ignition, I'm looking for a spark
Any chance collision and I light up in the dark
There you stand before me, all that fur and all that hair
Oh, do I dare ... I have the touch

Wanting contact
I'm wanting contact
I'm wanting contact with you
Shake those hands, shake those hands
Give me the thing I understand
Shake those hands, shake those hands
Shake those hands, shake those hands

Any social occasion, it's hello, how do you do
All those introductions, I never miss my cue
So before a question, so before a doubt
My hand moves out and ... I have the touch

Wanting contact
I'm wanting contact
I'm wanting contact with you
Shake those hands, shake those hands
Give me the thing I understand
Shake those hands, shake those hands

Pull my chin, stroke my hair, scratch my nose, hug my knees
Try drink, food, cigarette, tension will not ease
I tap my fingers, fold my arms, breathe in deep, cross my legs
Shrug my shoulders, stretch my back - but nothing seems
to please

I need contact
I need contact
Nothing seems to please
I need contact

Saw the Stick Men a couple of weeks ago - right there at the stage in a small club in Toronto - 2nd time!.  Just amazes me....arguably the best bassist (stick man) in the world and I can talk to him and he's just so humble!

This version is quite inferior to the original. Not so clear where it fails, but I only knew the original Peter Gabriel album, which was a breakthrough and mesmerizing piece of art. This has tried to improve on perfection, and as is usually the case in these instances, falls flat.
Posted 4 years ago by bam23    [ Reply ]
I don't know that anyone's spoken up about the fact that this remix is by Robbie Robertson! Is it "as good" as the original?  No, but it's not trying to be.  It's trying to be something different and unique than the original, which it succeeds at. 

The original's a solid 10 and this is a solid 8!

It seems like everyone here feels the original version of the song is better, and I agree. But why did Gabriel make this version? It seems like the vocal track is exactly the same, but they recorded new music for it. Why?

Actually, this isn't a cover - This is a Robbie Robertson-produced remix.  The backing track is new, but the vocals are the originals.  If you want to blame Gabriel for cover difficulties, than you could bring up Scratch My Back.  {#Eh}

Even from the beginning, Gabriel seemed to be more interested in the actual music and simply collaborating with and learning from other artists. He is into the textures and emotions and symbolism of music, movement, and life.

Collins is terrifically talented but he can't seem to stop sucking the dick of the big kaCHING monster.
 
 
Actually I read somewhere on interview with the group and Banks word was generally was considered the final word on the direction the band took.  I have to agree there pop sounds don't really stand up to the earlier stuff.  But I think part of the why they people think of them as Collins' fronted pop band can be summed up by a comment I heard walking out of their last show in Los Angeles, "why didn't them play susudio?"  I cringed.

This is actually a pretty good tune. PG can generally only get away with upbeat tunes because of that caterwailing voice. Of course would be better if he just wrote songs and left the singing to those that did not cause physical pain. {#Stop}

Peter Gabriel kinda kept his stuff together, but Genesis? Phil Collins? Oy... neither Phil nor the group did an original thing after 1973's "Selling England By The Pound." One of the few bands / artists we could live without forever. The other is Fletwood Mac (post-Bob-Welch) and all of Stevie Nicks.
