Hackett, Steve - Fly On A Windshield Lyrics






There's something solid forming in the air
And the wall of death is lowered in Times Square
No-one seems to care
They carry on as if nothing was there
The wind is blowing harder now
Blowing dust into my eyes
The dust settles on my skin
Making a crust I cannot move in
And I'm hovering like a fly, waiting for the
Windshield on the freeway

Hackett, Steve Fly On A Windshield Comments
  1. A.... X....

    No offense to this singer, but i actually prefer Nad on vox. I am assuming this was done before he entered the picture?

  2. p.... j....

    Sorry guys i think Gary o toole is a weak singer ..doesn't suit this style at all ..Steve hacket ace tho

  3. p.... j....

    Singer is definitely no peter Gabriel .
    .but Steve hacket in fine form.
    Nice one

  4. A.... G....

    The combo Fly on a windshield /broadway melody of 74 is like Cinema show/Aisle of plenty a masterpiece. The album version of the first simply can't be done better. This live version is still OK.

  5. c.... ....

    It's too bad Gary O'Toole is not with Steve's group anymore. He was such aa fine drummer and singer.

  6. J.... M....

    I just saw him in Los Angeles last Friday 10/18/19. Absolutely stunning performance of SEBP. I hope one day he does the Lamb in its entirety. That would be epic.

  7. R.... B....

    Weird hear this song without Peter’s voice. But that’s ok! 👍

  8. j.... p....

  9. d.... ....

    This music is like a drug to me.......ok, maybe a couple drinks.....but it takes me away. Can you imagine making such beautiful music that leaves such an effect on people....wish I could contribute the way they do with their masterpieces. Thank you Steve Hackett and your group.

  10. j.... p....

    Steve Hackett many times ask Tony please Mellotron

    j.... p....

    was there guys Montreal Lamb Live

    j.... p....

    1974 Montreal Forum Steve play Fly and saw many poeple crying when Steve begin Fly Histeric compo of Steve Live

  11. j.... p....

    Steeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeene saw you Montreal i give you my Soul

  12. j.... p....

    Steve composed this like Dancing and Firth and Déja Vue with friend Peter and Phillip More Fool Me and some others

  13. J.... d....

    Genesis revisited ... and refreshed.

  14. W.... ....

    A very sad song.

  16. c.... g....

    Muddy sound, shame.

  17. S.... C....

    One of my favorites - Truly wish I was there- vocalist does an outstanding performance. What a performance.

  18. d.... ....

    Drummer, I think I am in love with you....you are quite talented...how you can go from wearing a suit ( other videos ) ..to this ...but I still have not caught your name .

  19. c.... ....

    I love Hackett's versions usually but this one lacks savagery. It's a bit too tame compared to the original version...

  20. d.... ....

    The drummer is the singer? ...love him !!! ....where is your suit ? ....He is exceptional !

  21. j.... p....

    Steve Hackett brain ever merci , i saw Hackett Montreal 1979 Voyage LIVE just imagine Hands of.... Live and

  22. R.... S....

    Such a shame that Gary's moved on - he was a perfect fit in the band for the consumate 'cheeky, talented Phil' part.

  23. p.... ....

    I wonder if the drummer is aware, the pork pie or bowler makes him look like a nonce, kind of ruins the illusion.

  24. M.... C....

    Si Hackett était le "moustachu" discret de la bande dans les années 70/80, il revient en force et s'impose comme THE guitariste avec le Genesis revisited
    Il redonne un nouveau souffle puissant à ces morceaux !
    Pour notre plus grand plaisir .
    Merci Steve

    M.... C....

    la chaconne de bACH essaye de jouer ca y a juste Hackett TRIBUTE ALBUM

  25. T.... B....

    Steve is awesome and majestic in his playing as always. The band sounds great. But if there is a weakeast link it's in the vocals. Can't quite put my thumb on it, but Nad and the others who cover the vocals just don't seem to fit the sound of Genesis. I don't know. Maybe it's just me wanting to hear Peter and Phil singing these great songs again.

  26. A.... W....

    Dans tout groupe de rock , même en progressive , on suit le bassiste ! ils sont tous à la ramasse pendant les 3 premières minutes ...RDV au 'Tas de sable' direct .... arrivés à ce niveau être plantés aussi gravement c'est pathétique ...

  27. j.... p....

    Le Maitre de la Guitare...

  28. A.... M....

    The drummers vocal is terrible.

  29. A.... M....

    Vocals are awful the only good thing is hackett's playing but the rest is crap.

  30. M.... K....

    Steve's style is so unmistakable !!

  31. l.... ....

    I don´t really enjoy his voice. A great drummer, but a bit different from Genesis style.

  32. M.... H....

    I guess i just trust that steves gonna get someone decent to sing.because he always does.maybe one day.pete will give us all wut we REALY want....but until then.keep up the great work.steve & co....one of the greatest. Guitarists of all time.

  33. A.... M....

    I think Hackett is murdering these Genesis songs, STOP please !!!!

    A.... M....

    Try hearing how Daryl Stuermer fucks up Firth of Fifth!

    A.... M....

    Nonsense ! sometimes the vocals i agree can be not up to the originals but musician wise its incredible and lets face it other than Hackett when we would hear any of the old genesis stuff live?? Apart from tribute bands cause Genesis haven’t done them for years apart from the cage

  34. V.... P....

    Great 🎸/ Great Show / Greats Musicians...Simply Amazing😎👊

  35. j.... p....

    My God ! a 2:50 hallucinant , merci Hackett

  36. I.... M....

    TLLDOB was for me the last great Genesis album. After Gabriel left the band, Collins changed sadly their musical direction...

  37. j.... p....

    le compositeur de genesis Steve hackett avec Tony Banks

    j.... p....

    and mike rutherford and anthony phillips for most...

  38. M.... B....

    Stunned - Breathless - & Floored - Bravo, Boys and especially to the kid behind the kit

    M.... B....

    Singing and drumming at the same time...not easy,fantastic job!

  39. m.... p....

    @jean-francois payette now i can agree with you immediately

    S.... S....

    i saw Steve Hackett Live in Montreal , a Master , technical guitar he his a God, acoustic guitar and electric and he playing Ciaconne of Bach Live !

  41. B.... M....

    One of these days I'll figure out the significance of "Lenny Bruce declares a truce and plays his other hand"!

  42. T.... Q....

    How cool is Gary O'Toole? Yeah!

    T.... Q....

    Going to miss him.

  43. W.... B....

  47. j.... p....

  48. D.... S....

    One of the best songs ever and the coolest lyrics for sure. These guys make the originals look weak IMHO and I love Genesis. Well done.

    D.... S....

    great artists with time on their side, can often make the original better

  49. A.... t....

    I get major goosebumps every time I hear this song. It brings me back to a era of long hair along tabs of LSD coursing my mind and pot smoke take the edge of a another lost weekend of the summer of 1973. Thanks for the flashback 🤣

    A.... t....

    il te fallait de grands compositeurs pour ca moi ELP pour comprende la musique classique , Pictures .......

    A.... t....

    @jean-francois payette certamente... come no, come non dirlo, meno male che qualcuno lo ha detto

  50. j.... ....

    0:00 Fly On A Windshield

    j.... ....

    the genius

  51. J.... C....

    Sorry guys, I thought he was pretty good !

  52. n.... ....

    Jesus... one of Favorite Genesis tunes hacked by a lousy vocalist hack drummer. Embarrassed for you Steve. I mean that drummer should give you money back. That was total shit + 5

    n.... ....

    Did he do your wife or something? I thought he was excellent. I love Genesis but this is far better than what Genesis can do. I call BS on your review. Sorry mate.

    n.... ....

    Bullshit 1116

    n.... ....

    I agree this guy was good, way better than what Ray Wilson would have done.

  53. P.... A....

    I meant lryics

  54. P.... A....

    One of the great prog pics for me

    P.... A....

    Play The Ciaconne of Johann Sebastian Bach and Classic Music aussi

  55. D.... G....

    Who's the drummer?

    D.... G....

    Gary O'Toole

  56. O.... ....

    Why couldn't Phil Collins played drums and sang it at the same time?

    O.... ....

    Wouldn't you rather have, you know, Peter Gabriel? Lol.

    O.... ....

    Actually....No.

    O.... ....

    if Collins was behind the drums singing then he wouldn't connect with the audience

    O.... ....

    Rather have Chester play the drums and Phil sing it.

  57. O.... V....

    maravilloso sinceramente admirable a oir a Steve y compañeros, lo bueno del progreso del rock
