Genesis - No Son Of Mine Lyrics
Well the key to my survival
was never in much doubt
the question was how I could keep sane
trying to find a way out
peace of mind was hard to find
and I needed a place where I could hide
somewhere I could call mine
I didn't think much about it
til it started happening all the time
soon I was living with the fear everyday
of what might happen that night
I couldn't stand to hear the
and I remember when
I swore that, that would be the
Last they'd see of me
And I never went home again
they say that time is a healer
and now my wounds are not the same
I rang the bell with my heart in my mouth
I had to hear what he'd say
He sat me down to talk to me
he looked me straight in the eyes
he said:
You're no son, you're no son of mine
You're no son, you're no son of mine
You walked out, you left us behind
and you're no son, no son of mine
oh, his words how they hurt me, I'll never forget it
and as the time, it went by, I lived to regret it
You're no son, you're no son of mine
but where should I go,
and what should I do
you're no son, you're no son of mine
but I came here for help, oh I came here for you
Well the years they passed so slowly
I thought about him everyday
what would I do, if we passed on the street
would I keep running away
in and out of hiding places
soon I'd have to face the facts
we'd have to sit down and talk it over
and that would mean going back
they say that time is a healer
and now my wounds are not the same
I rang that bell with my heart in my mouth
I had to hear what he'd say
He sat me down to talk to me
he looked me straight in the eyes
he said:
You're no son, you're no son of mine
You're no son, you're no son of mine
When you walked out, you left us behind
and you're no son, you're no son of mine
oh, his words how they hurt me, I'll never forget it
and as the time, it went by, I lived to regret it
You're no son, you're no son of mine
But where should I go and what should I do
You're no son, you're no son of mine
But I came here for help, oh I was looking for you
You're no son, you're no son of mine - oh
You're no son - ha yeah, ha yeah, ha yeah, ha yeah
You're no son, you're no son of mine - oh, oh...

Genesis No Son Of Mine Comments
One of the last scenes of the video should have been the kid getting up, pushing his dad down and storming out of the house. Maybe the dad tries to follow him but the kid just pushes him back inside and shuts the door. I should so be a director.
I love you Phil Collins and Genesis forever 👏👏👏👏💖💖💖💖🎶
Powerful
One of the most emotional song of all time....
хорошая песня !
Que som ótimo! !
2019 ..dec 23
My father died, but i was his most loving son.
The Queen's favourite song at the moment.
So geile Musik 🎶 und die ganzen Affen hier in Deutschland wissen gar nicht mehr was gute Musik 🎶 ist 🤔🙄

サビでの盛り上げ方がうまい
Хорош!!! Мастер!
This is where music is powerful and expresses relatable stories that people understand.
704 dislikes? I guess if this stirs up bad memories that's a good reason
emotions grab me when he goes haye haye haye.
Genesis is one of the best Bands in the World. And Phil is simply a f**king Genius #Phil4Ever
I wanna be ur man
Super piosenka
Porque hoje, essas porcarias que se houve, não chegam nem aos pés dos primeiros acordes desse som!
Art can be simple
This reminds me when I ran away from home, and for years and years I didn't go home because I couldnt face my Dad. During that time I moved from place to place, and would always try to avoid him. This song reminds me of those hard times, and how hopeless I felt. But the good thing is one day I did go home again, just like in the song and at first he wanted nothing to do with me, just like the song because "you walked out"and left us behind. But I kept coming back, and then one day he finally forgave me....and then we became great great friends again....he has now passed away and I still regret that time....but I'm so happy things did not end the way this song does....RIP Dad!! Love you.
GRANDIOS !!!!!
could you please add more volume? video is great but the sound is too low...
The drums...wow
Jo jita wohi sikander
I ser myself in this vídeo my dad always was bad to me and so cold i just dont know why!!!!
Their masterpiece 🙌❣️
I wish, just once, my Dad would say "I love you". I'm 45 and if I'm honest with myself I know it will never happen. But I can keep hoping.
My dad too was always bad to me!!!
This song is about me
🎼🎶👍❤❤🥰🇸🇪🎧🔥
Very good song :) its underrated :(
💙💚💛💜💜💛💚💙💙💚💛💜💜💛💚💙
My son as a teenager
Fantastic song. You can feel the emotions deep into it
I can see why people think Phil Collins ruined Genesis.
The Best....in 2019
Estábamos eligiendo temas con mi hermano antes que se saque la vida y no se por que eligió este tema pero lo llevo en Mi corazón por que me recuerda a el.te amo Dany y siempre te recuerdo
NO SON OF MINE SONGTEXT ÜBERSETZUNG
Nun, dass ich überleben würde,
War nie fraglich
Die Frage war nur, wie ich meinen Verstand behalten
und dabei einen Weg heraus finden könnte
Es war nie leicht für mich
Mein Seelenfrieden war schwer zu finden
Und ich brauchte einen Platz, an dem ich mich verstecken konnte,
Irgendwo, was ich Meins nennen konnte
Ich habe nie viel darüber nachgedacht
Bis es begann, immer wieder zu passieren
Bald lebte ich mit der täglichen Angst
vor dem, was kommende Nacht passiern würde
Ich konnte das Weinen meiner Mutter nicht ertragen
Und ich erinnere mich daran
Als ich schwor dass das das Letze sei, das sie von mir sähen
Und ich ging nie wieder nachhause
Man sagt, Zeilt heilt die Wunden,
Und nun sind meine Wunden nicht mehr die selben
Ich klingelte mit pochendem Herzen
Ich musste hören, was er zu sagen hätte
Er bat mich, Platz zu nehmen, um zu mir zu reden
Er sah mir direkt in die Augen
Er sagte:
Du bist kein Sohn, nicht mein Sohn
Du bist kein Sohn, nicht mein Sohn
Du bist gegangen, du hast uns verlassen
Und du bist kein Sohn, nicht mein Sohn
Oh, wie verletzten mich seine Worte, das werde ich nie vergessen
Und während die Zeit verging, lebte ich damit, es zu bereuen
Du bist nicht mein Sohn
Doch wo sollte ich hin, was sollte ich tun?
Du bist kein Sohn, nicht mein Sohn
Aber ich suchte hier Hilfe, ich kam deinetwegen.
Nun, die Jahre vergingen sehr langsam
Ich dachte jeden Tag an ihn
Was würde ich tun, wenn wir uns auf der Straße begegneten
Würde ich weiterhin weglaufen?
Rein und raus aus Verstecken
Bald müsste ich mich den Tatsachen stellen
Wir müssten uns zusammensetzen und es besprechen
Und das würde bedeuten, zurück zu gehen
Man sagt, Zeit heilt die Wunden,
Und nun sind meine Wunden nicht mehr die selben
Ich klingelte mit pochendem Herzen
Ich musste hören, was er zu sagen hätte
Er bat mich, Platz zu nehmen, um zu mir zu reden
Er sah mir direkt in die Augen
Er sagte:
Du bist kein Sohn, nicht mein Sohn
Du bist kein Sohn, nicht mein Sohn
Als du fortgegangen bist, hast du uns verlassen
Und du bist kein Sohn, nicht mein Sohn
Oh, wie verletzten mich seine Worte, das werde ich nie vergessen
Und während die Zeit verging, lebte ich damit, es zu bereuen
Du bist kein Sohn, nicht mein Sohn
Doch wo sollte ich hin und was sollte ich tun?
Du bist kein Sohn, nicht mein Sohn
Aber ich suchte Hilfe, ich kam deinetwegen
The guy in this video looks like a young Frank Sinatra in my opinion.
Anyone?.
I LOVE YOU PHIL COLLINS !!! BS AS ARGENTINA
Joh jeeta wohi sikander Ram Lals cafe
super muza szacun
The ticking at start of this sounds more like car indicators not a clock
Masterpiece of Genesis! Long life for this guys of the band!
Great song. One of their best.
What I learned till I was no longer someone's son:
1) Plan long term, don't let short term "insults" stop you.
2) If somebody steps down on you, only you can help yourself to get up on your feet again.
3) If you execute a plan, don't look back. Look forward to the challenges ahead.
Best Genesis song and video for sure.
Blimey. What a song. I'm becoming quite the fan of Phil Collins these days. Not to take anything away from Mike and Tony, of course.
big philly
Mom said this out of anger, fortunately I know acting succinctly well.
The whole album is a masterpiece.
I listened to this song while growing up and now with 38 realized it was about my past. Worst part is you don't even know what a normal family is, like you think that is normal and every one gets that kind treatment so you will never talk about it.
First single I ever bought x
Love that song!
Fick dich Fritz, u was no father of mine...
He'll never read this, but anyhow it feels good to put it out here
you're not sodo man
My mother was the violent one ...tied 4 kids up to a bed one day and thrashed us ...hit her girls with a hair brush in the face, pulled their hair everyday ...hit me with a cricket stump one day ...bruises all over my arm where i fended here off - cared more about her dickheaded partners ...my father left when i was about 2 yrs old ...then had eventually the cheek to blame me for not keeping in touch over the years ....throw in sexual abuse , addictions , poverty ...no wonder im fucking crazy ..but i'm learning - however ,my faith in people is pretty shallow ...but i would rather trust ......i throw my problems at the foot of the cross.....fuck this , ... jesus ...one day...this must make sense ....cos it makes fuck all down here. I didnt even realize how fucked up i was till i turned 50 ...denial is a tool to get you through ...but only for so long ....gotta face it make peace with it all
Some selfish fathers destroy their children with hard words to hear, i know what i'm talking about,
My parents used to drink often and I got agressive, I could have ended up getting thug...
one of the best songs in the world of music
Nunca ouvi essa
Very strong and powerful song , my father left me too
Of course,.. ¡ have to pay for my kids,.. how to stop being distracted with the kids of others & focus on your own stuff,..
my father's last words before he died: you failed ......, how his words hurt me, I'll never forget it
They same time is a healer lol
I can sing / cry to all his songs
The actor playing the son was also in Mansun’s Wide Open Space video
this is actually one of my favourites
💔🖤❤
Sempre me emociona..
Te amo Phil Collins!!!❤❤❤ i love you
This tragic song is about the abuse people receive from their parents when, like Phil Collins, they begin to go bald at the age of 12.
I Love this Song.
I went through a period of not liking Phil Collins because some other people who’s opinions I respected portrayed it as uncool, or that he just want very good. I was a fucking idiot! He’s awesome!
So lucky to have supportive parents so easy to not see that as a teenager biggest regret is treating them like shit during those years.
Didn't know how lucky I was.
Love this song
It hurts right in my meow meow
I don't have a son.... Yet.
I hated this song so much when it came out and not because its a bad song, it is a good song actually. Im sure alot of people will understand , i went thru some nasty crap with "the old man" and it was just shy of a couple years getting away from him when this song came out on the radio in 91 and i was 16 years old at the time. I remember that son of a bitch would change lyrics to a song he heard on the radio to insult me as a kid. Half the lyrics in the song tell my story, the other half nope..because i never went back, never.

Super sensational
Kindheitserinnerungen..Danke Phil Collins
28 Years Ago.
The Sepia Tone Is Perfect
i just found out the boy i liked had a boyfriend already and for some reason this song calms me down
synths pads on roland jd800
When i was twenty my father decided he didn't wanted more contact with me and my mother.When i tried to call or send letter he never replied.When i see him on the streets he allways turns and walks in another direction.Now i am in my fourties and haven't tried to contact him for ten years.I have often tought about what made him decide how he did,but haven't found any answers.I guess he is just stubborn :-S
great intro x
I had a nice father who worked day and night for his family couldn't face his wife. left us went to another country working there and died. i always wanted my mother to be my emotional support but my mother...whenever at times i needed her she showed me that evil face and voice. whenever i smiled my family became my enemy I don't know God didn't liked me smile now i am away from every one .sometimes you need to find a way out . i still want to escape their city...their country...where they live find someone and make my way
Things never got that bad but they did get horribly close.I kept thinking of ways of leaving (in my youth),planning how i would survive if i just left.Guess i couldn't of left my Mother alone with that arsehole of a Father.I learnt to minimise the contact with him and help my Mother more,but deep down i wish he had disappeared and left.Friends you can choose but family you're stuck with.
On hearing this song many years ago, it made a very big impression.
Just a beautiful song.
Pedazo de grupo y de cancion
Cette musique me fait toujours pensé a toi ma chérie de1993 avec la Volvo 360 GLS c'était la bonne époque ont étaient ensemble et je me vois encore rouler avec toi pour allez aux supermarché de Lanester courage toi aussi je t'aime fort.nou2
👏👍
My step dad played this song to me when I was 14. And he was the bitter old man that's depicted in the video. Glad I dont speak to the mental nut job now.
Meine Mutter war Abgrund böse, mein Vater war unser Gott, unser guter Engel!
Ich liebe diesen Wechsel im Song, großartig wie immer Phil!
