Genesis - Abacab Lyrics
Look up on the wall, there on the floor,
Under the pillow, behind the door.
There's a crack in the mirror.
Somewhere there's a hole in a window-pane.
Do you think I'm to blame?
When they do it you're never there.
When they show it you stop and stare.
Abacab He's in anywhere.
Abacab
If you're wrapping up the world
'Cos you've taken someone elses girl,
When they turn on the pillow,
Even when they answer the telephone,
Tell me, don't you think that by now.
When they do it you're never there.
When they show it you stop and stare.
Abacab He's in anywhere.
Abacab Doesn't really care.
you want it, you got it, you gotta go
you want it, you got it, now you know
It's an illusion, It's a game,
Or reflection of someone else's name.
When you wake in the morning,
Wake and find you're covered in cellophane.
Well, there's a hole in there somewhere.
Yeah, there's a hole in there somewhere.
Baby, there's a hole in there somewhere.
Now there's a hole in there somewhere.
When they do it you're never there.
When they show it you stop and stare.
Abacab he's in anywhere.
Abacab

Genesis Abacab Comments
@1:20 . Who hears that ? I've heard it for decades , but no one else seems to . Comment what you hear (if you do )and would be so kind . Thanks .
Who’s listening to this in 2020
Only band I listen to now isTool, Puscifer, a.Perfect Circ
Loved them from the beginning, I think in '88
the drumming on this is sick
genesis this is a good song rock and roll abacab
This tune and President Trump saved me
Interlude too long but still a good song
Solo i Genesis possono fare arrivare la musica a questi livelli stellari. Troppo difficile a ricoppiarla.....musica autentica.
my dads favorite
It's an acronym!
I listen to this in my 1986 Niss an SenTra as I'm cruising down the road
This and Home by the sea are the best.
Love this song almost as same as the Home by the sea
ABACAB; those were my grades one semester in college
😀❤
Great tune! Love the drums on this one..badass
Abacab 😆 my wife played everything she had to death to hear since we were young people in love. Terri imagined herself typing to this and her score went high on words typed lol
Your wife's got good taste Dennis
😆 thank you she's a rocker
Arcade music that sorta,no, jammed! We all liked it then. It was what radio played. And no stereo in your ride meant Loser!
Listen to Abacab when it's snowing heavy at night. 😉
One of the best genesis songs they never play on the radio anymore.
One of my favorite songs ever, probably didn't get much airplay because it is so long.
Love it!
There's a hole in there somewhere...words to live by when you're in the thick of the storm in life.
Phil Collins is a terrible musician!!!!!!
Mark Parsons . . . said the person who is a better drummer, a better singer, and better performer than Phil Collins . . . in the Bizarro world.
This song sucks!!!
Indrukwekkende rock van Genesis, om bij wakker te blijven....!
❤ imitating Phil Collins playing power lead on my keyboard.
Hi tennis ball
Still listening to Genesis in 2020!
Great album
Listened to this on my Sony Walkman. 2020 on my iPhone
Listening in Januray 2020 and still as awesome and fresh as back then. Compare to music today? HA HA HA What a joke!
Kocham Genesis.... Nie ważne czy z Gabrielem czy Collinsem... Wszystkie płyty są genialne... 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸👍👍👍A i tak najważniejszy był i jest TONY BANKS..... 🎹🎹🎹🎹
It's an illusion, It's a game,
The long version (at least not the radio edit) I love it for life !
Good brothers!!!!
Where is the rest of this album like Duke? But great none the less!
Phil & the fellas RIP THE WORLD APART WITH THIS ONE! Huge with power, inertia, intensity! It's like the industrial revolution crashed into a case of beer while a 40 foot ocean wave crashed at an all-nude beach at Maui while Kate Upton took off all her clothes & stepped into my life! Kind of like that! Yeah baby! * Cav *
Just a heads up, you may get a traffic ticket listening to this song while driving...
Add abacab a B and meet me at the bottom of the pit.
Crushing bass line.
Happy New Year!
Awesome!!
Who's listening to this right now?
@stevie nicks , I love you, Stevie Nicks. Stand back, there's a landslide.
2020 a New Year and new decade to enjoy 80s era music that I freely give 😆
Im 56yrs young and still rocking !!!!
With the great man, Phil Collins...
this song has a ton of energy ... and lots of staying power for a seven minute song
2019 still listening 👍🏻
True Class Ian
5:49 guitar outtro with synth...
If you want to hear an extended version look for Abacab 3 Sides Live.
I was in the 89,s. Loved our rock and roll.
Genesis rocks love it
Just crank up the volume & annoy the neighbours !
no reply at all
love the way the drums sound
Wtf jb. Sit in my truck and listen to this if u would dare i want to kick your arse
I do not like listening to the short version of this song. Very cool Genesis song.
And to think Phil Collins got to play for zepplin once that says it all right there
I did, dude.
When I hear this I wanna play Outrun.
right out of the gate BAM!!!
Jonathan Black, Me too. I am Genessis and Phil fan.
Timeless awesomeness!
seriously good music, love the intensity and the instrumentals to finish.
I would listen to this album back in 2016 in my autocad class in highschool. It just worked
These guys could really Jam! They love this song at the Pepper Mint Club n Germany back n 1980-81! They would hit every beat on the dance floor! Rosenheim Germany!
that drum beat from Phil. classic !!!!!!!!!!!
Abacab. The best
Don't piss Phil off. You'll end up in cellophane
I succumbed to road hypnosis while driving under the influence of abacab - man was I embarrassed.
Don't be embarrassed, it happens to us all....... sometimes...😉
Aside from his excellent singing voice, Phil Collins is a really good drummer.
My song 😁
I discovered the idea of a career and I found one. Ta
Awesome writing music an vocals.
My favorite from Genesis... Kick butt tune! 🕴️🎤🎸👊
who spent bill money on it like me?
A powerful song by Genesis! Phil's solid & brilliant drumming, behind it, as usual!!
Used to play the full version on the 12 inch single loud on my record player.😎
Like the old Genesis catalogue best but this is a Sharp song by Genesis. Very different from older songs,more rock,Genesis styled rock. Great long instrumental part.
My Fav by Genesis!
I listen even in the 1990's
Letstepout
I remember watching an interview about Paul McCartney. When he was putting together the song Yesterday, he remembered it as Scrambled Eggs before the lyrics were finished.
Phil Collins is damn good in his work.
one of the simplest comments will attract many likes and replies so it seems.
Alguém em 2059 como eu? Usei o livetranspport app in-800 iMac/Google em 2092, pra poder usar o Youtube em 2059.
2060 não há mais YouTube.
An absolute classic, so not like other songs. Still sounds excellent
The album 'Abacab' was recorded in the Spring of '81 if I am correct.
Moi je prends des rides... mais cette merveille pas un trait.
This was the life back then. It was g👀d.
Who made Who by AC/DC and this sound similar musically...
I love Mike Rutherford’s guitar licks on this song even though a lot is buried under Tony Bank’s keyboards.
👍👍👍
ABACAB, THE CHORD PROGRESSION.NICE!
Abacab long version is the very best of genesis or at least to begin. Land of confusion will be next on my playlist
Theres a hole in there somewhere!
Left dazed and confused in awe with drool mouth wide ajar then I woke up and uncrossed my shutters
Listening to Genesis and Billy Squire
