Phil Collins - Hang In Long Enough Lyrics






The signs are getting clearer, clearer than you need
The writing's on the wall, for you to see

You never thought you'd ever get the taste
You never thought that it could be this good
Just tell me what you want and I'll find the key
Reach out and touch it's all yours.

If you hang in long enough, you'll do it
Just hang in long enough

You're down on the ground, or so you say
You'd sell the hole in your pocket, if you could find a way
Don't ask me how I know, you don't wanna hear
It's been a long hard road, and the end is getting near.

You never thought you'd ever get the chance
You never thought your break would come along
If you tell me what you want, I'll find the key
Just reach out and touch it's all yours

If you hang in...

They always say
The best things in life are free
But you want to have everything
Well you're going to have to beg if you want it all.

So hang in long enough, you'll do it
Hang in long enough

They'll let you out, then pull you in
Playing hell with your emotions,
You'll feel like giving in.

So just hang in long enough...

    The main riff is basically Prince's 1999 in a different key. Surprised Prince didn't have an issue with it at the time. Unaware perhaps? Awesome song anyways. One of Phils, Nathan East's and the Phenix Horns classic performances on tape.

    Che tristezza... dai genesis a queste boiate americanate...

    Saw our boy last night at Amelia Arena here in Tampa where our beloved Bolts play....what a show!!! Gonna miss these days!! Father Time please slow down!
    THANK YOU GUYS FOR A LIFETIME OF MEMORIES... Forty years old never missed one concert when u guys rolled through town. You will always be my favorite singer song writer and Band..❤️🙏🏻🎵🎶🔊🔊🔊
    I’ll never forget the day my father, who got me into Collins and music, he had a very loud home stereo system, he came home and I had this track blasting, as I was singing right into the speakers I looked up and there my Dad was looking at me so I screamed cus he Scared the ba Jesus out of me..🤣🤣🤣

    The forgotten great song off ..But Seriously..reached #23 on Billboard Hot 100 in 1990

  12. G.... R....

    Great song sung by the fantastic Phil Collins!

  13. X.... H....

    5:25 - 5:40 Phil does a Marty McFly 1912 style "Guess you guys weren't ready for that yet. But your great grandkids are gonna love it!"

  14. Z.... ....

    back when people put effort in music videos..and songs of course

  15. v.... c....

    😍😍verdadeiro clássico.😍😍😍

    Dear Mr. Collins, your music has been such an inspiration in my life. You, through your music, have made me feel happy, excited, sad, angry, longing, compassion and many other countless emotions. I deeply thank you from the bottom of my heart for all that and the many years of amazing music by Genesis and your solo career. If by chance you come across this post just know that you are loved by many and I am planning on continuing to further your legacy by introducing to my children your great, great music!! Thank you so much!!
    ... Jeff

  21. S.... L....

    Im Hanging on for you to catch me.I love Phil Collins music..xx

  22. J.... A....

    Estoy buscando una versión de esta canción que sonó mucho en Venezuela, del mismo Phil Collins pero no se como buscarla. Alguien que me ayude, auxilio! Es la misma canción pero con otro ritmo más moderno.

  23. L.... K....

    The band was still playing on a sinking ship

  24. M.... S....

    lmao that one guy looks like ice cube at 5mins and 47seconds

  25. M.... A....

    Genial ! .

  26. s.... ....

    The ending sounds like Formula 1 racing cars!

  27. a.... h....

    My dad used to play this song all the time

  28. A.... ....

    Ugh! Jesus. Cheese ball. I heard some Robert Plant in this as well as some "Beat It". I came for Dominic Lucero. Is the drummer Michael Jackson's drummer as well?

  29. m.... ....

    Phenix Horns, Lee Sklar, Chester Thompson and Darryl Steurmer...what could go wrong?

  30. d.... ....

    Quick, Phil! Let Rose and Jack know there was room for TWO HEARTS!

  31. c.... h....

    PHIL COLLINS, YOU GOT SOME MOVES IN THIS ONE BABE LOVE IT!!👌

  32. W.... Z....

    tooo STRONG ;)

  33. M.... D....

    It's a good name for a ship.

  34. M.... P....

    This for GTA Vice City 2 set in 89

  35. A.... F....

    I have but seriously album on cd and tape I have a fondness for the album.

  36. D.... K....

    Hola.. Miren pido disculpas a una joven . Que haller me puso par escribir unas líneas .Aseguro que lo pase inRbertidá.. Ahora siempre la mas agradecidá. Éstoi asus pies para lo que seá..Gracias

  37. M.... C....

    HA! 1912 would be the era Phil Collins would be deemed "shocking"

    Is it possible to ever get reactions like that again in modern music? Probably not

    His solo venture band members were always great. If you think Phil sucks, you have to admit he always had top players around him.

    M.... C....

    the 30th anniversary phil collins but seriously.

  38. R.... P....

    5:57 - "Guys, I told ya you was playing too loud!"

    R.... P....

    **Everyone dunks him under**

  39. R.... M....

    The Phenix Horns on the top

  40. 6.... ....

    Epic song and video- fun times!

  41. a.... r....

    I hope you burned that jacket!

    a.... r....

    SizzlinMind ~ the song is still better than most stuff slung out there today. When I hear Phil sing, I know it's Phil. Unique one of a kind voice. Damn, my husband tortures me with the crap on The Voice. I can't understand why he watches.

  42. P.... A....

    Aaaaah, so Phil Collins is the cause of the Titanic disaster, I see lol. Man that guy has such a great impact in the music culture. I'm really glad that he became what he is.

    P.... A....

    No, Collins is the cause of the Udio disaster!

    P.... A....

    @samanli2014 The S.S. Udio disaster. All because the band was playing way too loud!

  43. R.... S....

    The second side of the tape.

  44. t.... ....

    I bet Phil had to turn sideways to get through doors in that jacket!

  45. X.... H....

    Phil made these movie style music videos just as good as MJ or Gaga! Love this song, might be his most underappreciated and least known one. It was a minor hit on VH1 in 1991, but I never heard it after that.

    X.... H....

    JPMcFly1985Two #FeelTheBern I know. I love how a sad song like Rain had a funny video to clash with its mood.

  46. J.... C....

    A melhor de todos tempos.

  47. R.... P....

    5:24 - That guitar sounded like a race car!

  48. T.... P....

    #shoulderpads lol great song!

    T.... P....

    we had the cd its now 30 years ago.

  49. l.... ....

  62. D.... ....

    great song, one of Phil's underplayed hits that didn't seem to catch on unlike many of his other hits, I personally liked Phil's uptempo stuff more than his ballads.

    D.... ....

    Doobie1975 last singles on albums trend to be like that. Barely made top 10 on MTV. Paradise and Rain went number one and Remember and Heaven went to 4 and 2 respectively. Chart run for this: 17-15-13-11-10-12

    D.... ....

    Inside Out is my favorite, which isn't exactly uptempo or a ballad...

  63. H.... ....

    'Are you hairy and long enough?...'

    None of your business Phil

  64. M.... B....

    Fabulous cockney

  65. S.... S....

    I cannot believe those shoulder pads...

  66. 7.... ....

    Padded shoulders!

  67. J.... W....

    Well, that wentdown well!!!

  68. N.... T....

    3:15 maradona?

  69. Y.... R....

    Funky groove baby funky groove jam on it Phil jam on it baby!!!!!!!!!!

  70. R.... P....

    "Guys, I told you you was playing too loud."

    R.... P....

    What sells it is that Phil, the star of the show, got the life-preserver instead of the lifeboat.

  71. D.... ....

    great song, didn't get enough attention when it came out, one of Phil's forgotten gems

  72. F.... M....

    Phil Collins nunca se imaginó que después saldría una peli sobre el Titanic.

  73. Y.... R....

    LOL!!!!!!!!!

  74. M.... L....

    anyone noticed that phil collins' singing is a tiny bit off sync

  75. r.... ....

    S.S.Udio - lol

  76. A.... T....

    back in the groove

  77. W.... ....

    well mister collins was pretty good on this one but still no match for ''THE EPIC SPOON GRANDPA'' too bad he came after him he could'nt do better

  78. s.... ....

    @averagebodybuilder Dominic Miller and Daryl Stuermer

  79. L.... N....

    omg, i had this song playing the night I drove my new car to 121 mph!
    still love it! five inch heels and that pounding rhythm coming out of
    eight speakers, what's a girl to do? :D

  80. i.... ....

    Shittiest video I've ever seen.

    i.... ....

    iHatebologna59 "shittiest video" my ass 😡🚔🚔🚔

    i.... ....

    Shittiest you say? Your comment is even more shittiest than this video, get lost fake-ass troll

  81. A.... M....

    For me, this is one of the most perfect Rock/Pop songs I´ve ever heard.

  82. B.... H....

    One person couldn't find the lifeboats.

  83. y.... ....

    Just watched this for the first time! Couldn't believe I missed this one. One of his better videos. Snappy, funny, and... meaningful as hell? Did anybody see the possible symbolism here? Collins, known for his yuppie fan base, is shown playing for the elite on board a sinking ship...a metaphor for the crazy party that was the 80s decade, just about to end in 1989 when this video debuted. P.S. love the over-sized, shoulder-padded, double-breasted burgundy suit Collins is wearing.

    y.... ....

    The original Mr Burghandy.

  84. C.... M....

    It almost sounds like prince 1999.

  85. R.... ....

    Best solo Phil Collins tune right here. Tight band!

  86. r.... ....

    @captinhogwash yeah it does smell like the middle of my ass (between the flaps (cheeks), on a summer day)

  87. r.... ....

    it is Sussudio slowed down and tuned differently. I love the probable reference to that at the beginning

  88. m.... ....

    I can't believe they used clips from A Night to Remember a classic movie about the sinking of the Titanic for a music video shocking. Where Kenneth More!

  89. M.... T....

    Chuck Norris disliked this video because only Phil Collins could cause the Titanic to sink to the bottom of the ocean.....WITH NO HANDS!

    M.... T....

    Michael Tunney Chuck lacks the invisible touch.

  90. R.... A....

    I love Phil, I love his music, I love all his songs.

  91. M.... ....

    lolz, the fashion of the black and white people listening is clearly 1920's, not Edwardian.... Gotta love the 80's!

  92. A.... ....

    who noticed the ship was called "S.S Udio" sususudio

  93. M.... M....

    For Brazil TE AMO MUITOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

  94. J.... W....

    ah i loved this album. his new one was shockingly bad though and completly half arsed

  95. D.... S....

    so why did the ship sank :o

    D.... S....

    Danny Swiss Titanic sank by iceberg but Udio sank by loud music.

  96. R.... M....

    Phil in a Zoot Suit!!! How cool is that?! That's not seventies, it's much earlier.

  97. R.... M....

    Phil in a Zoot Suit!!! How cool is that?!

  98. s.... ....

    Holy 80's flashback, Batman!!! But I don't think the shoulder pads were big enough...

  99. C.... ....

    @KaristaSwiss I think the iceberg "wrecked" the vessel...

  100. d.... o....

    @cqjb you were in this video ?
