“I don’t know what this song is about. When I was writing this I was going through a divorce. And the only thing I can say about it is that it’s obviously in anger. It’s the angry side, or the bitter side of a separation. So what makes it even more comical is when I hear these stories which started many years ago, particularly in America, of someone come up to me and say, ‘Did you really see someone drowning?’ I said, ‘No, wrong’. And then every time I go back to America the story gets Chinese whispers, it gets more and more elaborate. It’s so frustrating, ‘cos this is one song out of all the songs probably that I’ve ever written that I really don’t know what it’s about, you know.” – Phil Collins

collins is a nasty little man. we lived in godalming years ago and he is a fucking cunt. his wfe at the time would come in the shop and not have enough money as he kept her well short. he was asked to donate to a church jumble sale and he told the people organising it to sod off. and he would then come on the tv and say send in your money to live aid. what a nasty little fraud he is. he writes songs about the homeless yet he threatens to leave the country when he might have to pay more tax
Almost impossible to dislike.
