Peter Gabriel
I Have the Touch
[Verse 1]
The time I like is the rush hour, 'cause I like the rush
The pushing of the people, I like it all so much
Such a mass of motion, I do not know where it goes
I move with the movement and I have the touch
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
Only, only wanting contact
I'm only, only wanting contact
I'm only, only wanting contact with you
Shake those hands, shake those hands
And give me the thing I understand
Shake those hands, shake those hands
Shake hands, shake hands
[Verse 3]
Any social occasion, it's "Hello, how do you do?"
All those introductions, I never miss my cue
So before a question, so before a doubt
My, my hand moves out and I have the touch
[Chorus]
Only, only wanting contact
I'm only, only wanting contact
I'm only, only wanting contact with you
Shake those hands, shake those hands
Ah, give me the thing I understand
Shake those hands, shake those hands
Shake those hands
[Bridge]
Pull my chin, stroke my hair
Scratch my nose, hug my knees
Try drink, food, cigarette
The tension will not ease
I tap my fingers, fold my arms
Breathe in deep, cross my legs
Shrug my shoulders, stretch my back
But nothing seems to please
[Outro]
I need contact
I need contact
Nothing seems to please, I need contact
Tact-tact-a-tact, tact-tact, I need contact
Nothing seems to please, I need contact
Tact-tact-a-tact, tact-tact, I need contact
Ah, tact-tact-a-tact, I need contact
Nothing seems to please, I need contact
Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing
I need contact
