Genesis - Shipwrecked Lyrics






I'm a million miles from anywhere, where can I be
Somewhere out on the ocean
Just take a look out on the horizon, what can you see
There's nothing there for me

I feel shipwrecked, I might as well be shipwrecked
I'm helpless and alone drifting out to sea
I can't believe what you said to me

Even standing on the corner of a busy city street
I still feel so lonely
Why do you say you want to be with me
But the next day say you don't

I'm shipwrecked, I might as well be shipwrecked
I'm helpless and alone drifting out to sea
I can't believe what you said to me
Without you I feel shipwrecked
But I can't let it show
A million miles away from anywhere, ooh, ooh, ohh

Is it my imagination
Or is it getting darker, are the waves getting higher
I'm a million miles from anywhere
A million miles from anything I know

You know that's why I'm shipwrecked
I might as well be shipwrecked
I'm helpless and alone drifting out to sea
I can't believe what you said to me
You know that's why I'm shipwrecked, shipwrecked
Losing my direction
Please come and rescue me (shipwrecked)
Shipwrecked
Shipwrecked
Shipwrecked
Shipwrecked...

    How truly nowadays...

  2. C.... S....

    Ray Wilson NUMBER ONE! 👍

  3. M.... C....

    After more than 20 years I still don't understand the reason they didn't succeed with Calling all stations. I know it's hard to replace Collins but the music was still there and Wilson's voice fitted really well. Maybe it's because this was my second live show I attended (I was just 9) and I have a special love for those years. By the way the first I attended was Phil Collins Dance into the light.

  4. l.... m....

    An intro at "Wish you were here " style......

  5. D.... I....

    La devaluacion de Genesis ( de la grandeza de Peter Gabriel a esta poqueria )

  6. S.... N....

    how many of you listeners agree with me that Ray Wilson's voice reminds you of Genesis' first lead vocalist, Peter Gabriel?

  7. A.... H....

    #10yearsChallenge unbelievable I still love this song it’s been 10 years since it was released.. .. 2019 #shipwrecked

    A.... H....

    #22yearschallange since its origin^^

    me too.....;-(((

  9. V.... P....

    At least the CAS affair gave us somebody who still performs live Genesis songs (and SH of course)

  10. f.... f....

    One of genius song from Genesis.

  11. D.... D....

    am 57 and music has allways been my thing...!!! thank you...

    Genesis forever👍

  13. D.... D....

    i love it....

  14. S.... ....

    I love this song thank you Ray

  15. N.... X....

    Es verdad que si no se hubiera llamado Genesis la banda con Wilson otra habría sido la historia y estaríamos seguramente hablando de un álbum con mucho éxito.

  16. b.... ....

    Shipwrecked...
    What I feel on this planet sometimes...

    Surrounded by cannibals, soul eaters and oil junkies...

  17. S.... M....

    calling all stations is the best album from Genesis. Great vocals, guitar and other instrumentals. I listen to whole album when working in the design office. genesis will never repeat this beautiful recording again. a big thank you to all behind this recording. Samuel.

    S.... M....

    Samuel Mudehwe yes sure like Selling England or Foxtrot. Come on. It is a good album. Cannot compare to others. So made in such different times

  18. S.... L....

    This track and a couple of others from CAS are certainly better than anything on so called superior Genesis albums like Abacab

    S.... L....

    Abacab was utter crap. I gave up Genesis music with A trick of the Tail (which I didn't like). Last good record was The Lamb Lies .......

    S.... L....

    I like all their albums

  19. G.... T....

    A Truly Heartbreaking and Magnificent song. I bought both CD singles and Album on release. it's now 20 years old (1997) it's Power Undiminished.

  20. S.... S....

    soviel Kraft Danke

  21. b.... u....

    bellissima canzone

  22. k.... ....

    CAS was one Genesis's best albums.Wilson was and is an outstanding songwriter and singer.I believe he wrote this one and not about us on this album.Highly talented guy and shame on Rutherford for not having the balls to do another with Ray.Ray must have been well pissed off by the bad treatment.Brings back memories of the Hackett treatment.

    k.... ....

    No, Banks & Rutherford wrote this one alone. Classic pop-Genesis composition & lyrics.

    k.... ....

    kevjards. Totally agree. An album a ten classes album above ridiculous We Can Dance.

  23. j.... R....

    excelente ray wilson!!.......

  24. G.... T....

    pure beauty

  25. N.... D....

    Ritirati

  26. M.... F....

    IMHO the only reason why Callings all Stations is so underrated is because it had the name "Genesis" on its cover. If Banks and Rutherford would have come up with a new project, I think the result would be different. I even dare to say they would have made three or four more albums. The line up was good and the sound was good. Not only the problem is that people keeps stupidly comparing Wilson to Collins and Gabriel (what's the point of comparing? It's not like, as soon as a new singer arrives, the previous albums of the band are erased from Earth), but also that a lot of people was still waiting to hear something like Selling England. What a lot of people didn't understand is that the 70s ended, CAS was released in the 90s, the band had the right to try something new.

    M.... F....

    ¡Palabra!

    M.... F....

    Mariano Fernández Very wise comment.

    M.... F....

    Better explained, impossible.

    M.... F....

    Or maybe without name "Genesis" you wouldn't ever hear about this album

  27. M.... M....

    I don't care what anyone says, Ray Wilson was a fine vocalist, problem with the album was the songs weren't up to scratch, NOT Wilsons fault. He was made the scapegoat for the album bombing and that's sad

  28. S.... S....

    Excellent music somehow ruined by poor choice of vocalist (not up to the task). Tim Bowness would be the right choice (or, as a matter of fact, anyone but Wilson).

    S.... S....

    are you high?

    S.... S....

    +gary maxwell I really think that Mr. Wilson's voice capabilities do not match Genesis music. Hear his voice cracking at the line "Just take a look out on the horizon, what can you see" (or the rest of the album, for that matter). Even Genesis can make a mistake. :)

    S.... S....

    in which band r u singing says simon?

  29. a.... ....

    この時期を悪く言う人がいる。・・・何故だ?こんなに素晴らしいのに・・・。

    a.... ....

    先代が偉大過ぎましたね。レイはハケットのライブでゲスト出演とかしてますね。

  30. o.... ....

    Pure Genesis genius - like everything they did

  31. N.... M....

    This song is not half bad at all.. 

    N.... M....

    +Giancarlo Santiago Is A Great Song I Really Like it

  32. D.... ....

    Very, very weak! No Genesis at all. Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford should be ashamed of themselves!

  33. C.... O....

    Muy bueno

  34. M.... ....

    Genesis were shipwrecked for a few years before this album came out

  35. T.... ....

    Unfortunately this album sank in the box-office like a ship in the sea, a real shame when we know the masterpiece it is.

  36. i.... ....

    Not bad but I still prefer 'Congo'

  37. k.... ....

    Change is the only constant in life, embrace it. This album may not be your or mine concept of the Genesis of yesteryear, it is still Genesis. Play the album in another 10 years and it will be Genesis. Good song

  38. A.... ....

    the only nice song  of that very bad album.....the worst of their beatiful production....PETER,,,where are you?

    A.... ....

    @KaylDomaj I am really sorry x you..I respect your opinion  but this is NOT  GENESIS  you can ask to any GENESIS fan in the world  and you will receive the same answer, Maybe you are too young to know the REAL  GENESIS.....this is ONLY  a far, very far, bad imitation of the GREAT GENESIS; infact  why, after this "album " ( that is considered by all  the WORST  of their  production ) GENESIS finished ?  tell me......even the poor RAY WILSON, an honest singer, did not go on so far.....sorry but YES....  this is the worst  album of the GENESIS - IMITATION.  I saw them LIVE in ROMA  for that TOUR......so bad...so poor.....the - few - fans  were so disappointed; .after they came back with PHIL COLLINS  for the historical concert in ROMA,,,and that was GREAT !!!!!!  more than 500.000 enthusiastic fans at the show.That were GENESIS. I was there. I am a music composer. film director  and producer...and I know what I am saying. But still I respect your ideas. Ciao

    A.... ....

    But this was never meant to be an imitation. That's something different and it's not bad. It's different from the rest, I agree, but that doesn't mean i'ts bad ! Congo, Not about us are great songs I believe.
    I love Phil Collins' music, but him or Gabriel not being part of the album doesn't mean the album sucks, there are other great bands they are not part of. Could you give any arguments besides your feelings about this album ? I understand you dislike it, but could you explain why it's bad ? To me people disliking will never be a good argument :(

    A.... ....

    @KaylDomaj
    Sorry I do not like RAY WILSON...he is a nice singer  but if you compare to COLLINS  or more  to GABRIEL  .....you see  how poor he is. More...the songs  are bad,,,,there's NOTHING of the spirit of GENESIS ( that made them famous and loved )..more I saw  the  concert..it was  horrible,...with lights that  were moving like a fun joke,,like a circus...too bad  x the creators of SELLING ENGLAND, FOXTROT, LAMB, and all the others. I say again  this is  a GENESIS  bad replica, Listen tell me....why thsi album was forgotten by all and  has  concluded GENESIS  carrier if it was so good?  tell me.....the truth  is  that all GENESIS fan  hate  this album...sorry but I love too much the real GENESIS  to see  how bad  is this.......this is  only my opinion of course...  and  of 99% of GENESIS  fan  .But I like SHIPWRECKED,,in this song I feel some  of the original  spirit......

    A.... ....

    Not at all a bad album... Listen to "The Dividing Line"...

    A.... ....

    I like all their albums

  39. l.... ....

    It's not my Genesis , but nice song!

  40. r.... ....

    Beautiful song i love it

  41. E.... C....

    Tengo todos los álbumes de génesis y este en particular me encanta. Es mucho mejor los últimos dos o tres con collins.

    E.... C....

    Es un buen album, lamentablemente no lo supieron valorar, tal vez por el cambio de cantante.

    E.... C....

    @Jav Ag La boca llena de razón, ya que lo querían comparar con Gabriel, y a mi perspectiva este álbum suena diferente e innovador para ser de Genesis, es más, ni parece Genesis más que por el nombre, si hubieran cambiado el nombre al grupo el resultado hubiera sido tal vez un poco + favorable a lo que fue, eso si Genesis me gusta con los 3 vocalistas, pero Collins les dio fama internacional

  42. R.... N....

    Genesis é uma das minhas bandas favoritas! :) Já lá 16 anos desde que saiu o último álbum. Nunca foi declarado um fim oficial, ainda houve uma tourné com o Phill Collins, em 2007, mas não gravaram nenhum álbum! :( Espero que um dia regressem! :)

  43. R.... N....

    Este álbum tá muito fixe! :) esta música foi muito bem escolhida para single! :) A voz do Ray Wilson tem semelhanças com a do vocalista de Mike & the Mechanics. Pena não ter feito mais nenhum álbum com os Genesis, pois músicas como esta, "Congo" ou "Calling All Stations" são de grande nível. Para além disso, Ray Wison é um excelente performer ao vivo. Vi-o num show acústico no Maxime com um colega dos Stilskin e foi excelente! :) E ele é muito simpático e simples. :)

  44. Z.... f....

    Does anyone have tab for it?

  45. Z.... f....

    It's a masterpiece! Thanks god for Ray Wilson

  46. S.... V....

    ...Are you serious?

  47. r.... ....

    Ray Wilson so perfectly suits the band

  48. n.... ....

    wow you are so pretty !!

  49. R.... ....

    Don't care what anybody says. I freakin love this song.

  50. c.... j....

    still genesis.....with a superb vocalist...great song

  51. n.... ....

    They WERE the numbers one, from '69 up to the '78. Wilson isn' t responsible for this horrible easy listening, he has made some remarcabiles song in his career. I'm sure that the original components of the group were adbucted in 1978 and replaced by copies..

  52. j.... ....

    Ray Wilson es el cantante que Tony y Mike escogieron.

  53. a.... ....

    レイ・ウィルソン加入のジェネシスをもうちょっと評価して欲しい。
    レディオヘッドが売れて、なぜこれが売れないのか・・・。
