Gabriel, Peter - Flotsam And Jetsam Lyrics






Doing nothing, stuck in the mud, just pumping the blood.
The water level's getting low, something ugly's going to show.

If only I could touch you, I guess you'd be alarmed.
If only I could touch you, I don't mean you no harm.

If only I could touch you, like the wind can touch the sail,
If only I could touch you, darling, now that words have failed.
Oh, flotsam still afloat,
Oh, jetsam thrown out of the boat.

Oh love, my love, nothing here is what it seems.
We both know it; Christ, you show it...
Oh, oh my love.

    way beyond music; science too. what would the world be like if he actually got sleep? sad.

    Peter Gabriel engrandece está canción de Beatles 👌

    I don’t like PG’s cover songs that much. He also sounds a little like Kermit the Frog on this one in certain places. I’m a fan of his original music but this doesn’t really do it for me personally.

    C.... ....

    still better than phil's covers lol

    Ian Gill I guess but I don’t really like covers anyway as a rule. Although I like the Feedback album that Rush recorded, some of those blow the originals out of the water.

    C’est comme si l’on entrait dans un de ces palaces d’Europe centrale à l’architecture pâtissière style religieuse au chocolat. Dans chaque pièce où l’on pénètre, les individus sont habillés en noir et blanc des pieds à la tête. Ils ont cette étrange absence dans les yeux tout en vous regardant fixement.
    Les plafonds sont peints, le mobilier est d’un luxe indescriptible et le marbre veiné des tables reflète l’évanescente sérénité de l’endroit ! Tout y est rigide, jusqu’au temps qui s’écoule derrière les lambris, comme aux aguets ..

    You can instantly recognize the old (young) Gabriel vocal stylings.....awesome!

    n.... r....

    That's evident. "Genesis" style, still at that time.

  7. m.... o....
