The time I like is the rush hour, cos I like the rush The pushing of the people - I like it all so much Such a mass of motion - do not know where it goes I move with the movement and... I have the touch. (Peter Gabriel)
In the blood of Eden, Lie the woman and the man. With the man in the woman, And the woman in the man. View quote
Peter Gabriel
Looking down on empty streets, all she can see Are the dreams all made solid Are the dreams all made real. View quote
Peter Gabriel
Did I dream this belief or did I believe this dream how I will find relief I grieve... View quote
Peter Gabriel
What I carry in my heart Brings us so close or so far apart. Only love can make love. View quote
Peter Gabriel
The wretched desert takes its form, the jackal proud and tight. In search of you, I feel my way, through the slowest heaving night. Whatever fear invents, I swear it makes no sense. I reach through the border fence. Come down, come talk to me. View quote
Peter Gabriel
Now we're busy making all our busy plans On foundations built to last. But nothing fades as fast as the future And nothing clings like the past, until we can see.More than this, More than this. So much more than this. There is something out there More than this. It's coming through And more than this. I stand alone and so connected And I'm all there, Right next to you. View quote
Peter Gabriel
I'm scared of swimming in the sea, Dark shapes moving under me. Every fear I swallow makes me small. Inconsequential things occur, Alarms are triggered, Memories stir. It's not the way it has to be. View quote
Peter Gabriel
Shock the monkey to life. View quote
Peter Gabriel
I come to you defenses down, With the trust of a child. View quote
Peter Gabriel
I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive. (Peter Gabriel)
It's only in uncertainty That we're naked and alive. View quote
Peter Gabriel
All my instincts, they return. And the grand façade, so soon will burn. Without a noise, without my pride I reach out from the inside. View quote
Peter Gabriel
Life carries on In the people I meet In everyone that's out on the street In all the dogs and cats In the flies and rats In the rot and the rust In the ashes and the dust Life carries on and on and on and on. View quote
Peter Gabriel
Climbing up on Solsbury Hill, I could see the city light. Wind was blowing, time stood still. Eagle flew out of the night. He was something to observe. Came in close, I heard a voice. Standing stretching every nerve, Had to listen had no choice. I did not believe the information. I just had to trust imagination. My heart going boom boom boom. "Son," he said, "Grab your things, I've come to take you home." View quote
Peter Gabriel
If looks could kill, they probably will In games without frontiers - war without tears. View quote
Peter Gabriel
Dressing up in costumes, playing silly games Hiding out in tree-tops shouting out rude names - whistling tunes we hide in the dunes by the seaside - whistling tunes we piss on the goons in the jungle. It's a knockout. View quote
Peter Gabriel
And the eyes of the world are watching now. View quote
Peter Gabriel
I'm waiting for ignition, I'm looking for a spark Any chance collision and I light up in the dark There you stand before me, all that fur and all that hair Oh, do I dare... I have the touch. View quote
Peter Gabriel
I am standing up at the water's edge in my dream I cannot make a single sound as you scream. It can't be that cold, the ground is still warm to touch. This place is so quiet, sensing that storm. View quote
Peter Gabriel
You could have a steam train If you'd just lay down your tracks. You could have an aeroplane flying If you bring your blue sky back.All you do is call me. I'll be anything you need. (Peter Gabriel)
We do what we're told, Told to do. View quote
Peter Gabriel
Waiting your time, dreaming of a better life. Waiting your time, you're more than just a wife. You don't want to do what your mother has done, She has done. This is your life, this new life has begun. It's your day - a woman's day. It's your day - a woman's day. View quote
Peter Gabriel
Changing your ways, changing those surrounding you. Changing your ways, more than any man can do. Open your heart, show him the anger and pain, so you heal. Maybe he's looking for his womanly side, let him feel. View quote
Peter Gabriel
Give me steam. And how you feel to make it real; Real as anything you've seen. Get a life with this dreamer's dream. View quote
Peter Gabriel
