Phil Collins - Thru These Walls Lyrics






I can hear thru' these walls
I can hear it when they're foolin' around
I can hear thru' these walls
And I hear ev'ry sign, ev'ry sound
I can hear thru' these walls
In the dark with the shades pulled down

Ev'ry word that they say
Ev'ry noise they make feels it's coming my way

My fav'rite moment
Putting the glass up next to the wall
Imagination
Tho' I see nothing, I hear it all
Putting my sign up
Do not disturb me, speak or shout, inside out
Oh mind my clothes, they're all laid out

I can see thru' my windows
I can see the girls and the boys
I can see thru' my windows
And I can imagine the noise
I can see thru' my windows
I can see them playing with toys

Oh I hope it won't end
If I promise not to touch, just be a friend

Life is so lonely
I don't get high off just being me
I like pretending
Wanting to touch them, wanting to see
It's only normal
Creeping behind you, now don't shout, 'cos it's alright
They keep the windows locked and the door shut tight

Oo I'm feeling like I'm locked in a cage
No way in, no way out, and it gets so lonely
Am I really asking a lot
Just to reach out and touch somebody
'Cos when I look thru' my windows or open my door
I can feel it all around me

I can hear thru' these walls
I can hear it when they're foolin' around
I can hear thru' these walls
And I hear ev'ry sight, ev'ry sound
I can hear thru' these walls
In the dark with the shades pulled down

Ev'ry word that they say
Ev'ry noise they make feels it's coming my way

Ah yeah...

  1. A.... M....

    How I so relate(d) to this "divorce/seperation" album. As I too were doing so or such at the time. AMJ

  2. G.... J....

    From Phil's second solo album recorded in the Spring of 1982.

  3. S.... ....

    whaat.. in tf was this song!! LOL holy crap, that was just so freakishly cringe-worthy!! was randomly checking lyrics & could not believe this one was real (honestly not sure which is worse- the lyrics by themselves, or with the possibly creepier context of the video) so looked it up here & yeah.. o.o

  4. l.... c....

    One of my fave songs from Phil. I wore the shit out of "Hello I Must Be Going" back in the day. So many great songs on that album.

  5. A.... M....

    So darkly,so stalker

  6. S.... T....

    When you write the most famous drum fill in music history, you don't just use it once.

  7. m.... k....

    Perfect for the daily walk to work in the early morning, when the sun rises and the streets are empty 💓

  8. G.... J....

    Little Elvis is/was Phil's nickname in the music industry.Phil was 31 when he recorded the album,in Spring '82.

  9. M.... R....

    I feel like oh statutes listing to dis

  10. E.... T....

    I had this album in the 80s and this is the first-ever time I'm seeing this video.

    Who thought it was a good idea to release this as the first single release from his second album? It should have been the last! Great track but it didn't sell well at all.

    M.... S....

    Mick Sowden 1. It wasn’t the first single. 2. Sales have nothing to do with quality. 3. This is one of his BEST.

  63. B.... ....

    I like Collins and I like the song but I don't quite get the message. It sounds kinda disturbing.

    It's about listening in onto neighbors having sexual intercourse.

  91. C.... J....

    This is the first and only time I made it to the #notificationsquad on a Phil Collins video! I have something to say. I have been his man's fan sice I was 7. I like his songs, the good, the great and the cheesy. This song is really proggy and nice. I know the feeling of being alone and single. The lyrics of the song portrays it all too well, although I think I might be ace. I love it and all his songs wih all my heart! Yes, I do. Always have, always will. Not a song of his is bad! Not one!

  92. s.... ....
