THE RHYTHM OF THE HEAT

The land here is strong
Strong beneath my feet
it feeds on the blood
it feeds on the heat

The rhythm is below me
The rhythm of the heat
The rhythm is around me
The rhythm has control
The rhythm is inside me
The rhythm has my soul

Smash the radio
No outside voices here
Smash the watch
Cannot tear the day to shreds
Smash the camera
Cannot steal away the spirits
The rhythm is around me
The rhythm has control
The rhythm is inside me
The rhythm has my soul

＜Peter Gabriel；“THE RHYTHM OF THE HEAT”＞




Wanting contact
I’m wanting contact
I’m wanting contact with you
Shake those hands , shake those hands
Give me the thing I understand
Shake those hands , shake those hands
Shake those hands , shake those hands

Pull my chin , stroke my hair , scratch my nose , hug my knees
Try drink , food , cigarette , tension will not ease
I tap my fingers , fold my arms , breath in deep , cross my legs
Shrug my shoulders , stretch my back －
but nothing seems to please

I need contact
I need contact
Nothing seems to please
I need contact

＜Peter Gabriel；“I HAVE THE TOUCH”＞




You’re not one of us
Not one of us
No you’re not one of us
You’re not one of us
Not one of us
No you’re not one of us

＜Peter Gabriel；“NOT ONE OF US”＞




The streets are lived camera crews
Everywhere he goes is news
Today is different
Today is not the same
Today I make the action
Take snapshot into the light
Take snapshot into the light
－I’m shooting into the light

All turned quiet － I have been hear before
Lonely boy hiding behind the front door
Friends have all gone home
There’s my toy gun on the floor
Come back Mum and Dad
You’re growing apart
You know that I’m growing up sad
I need some attention
－ I shoot into the light

＜Peter Gabriel；“FAMILY SNAPSHOT”＞
