Phil Collins
Abacab (Live from N.E.C., Birmingham, 23rd December 1981)
[Instrumental Intro 0:00-1:08]
[Verse 1]
Look up on the wall, there on the floor
Under the pillow, behind the door
Ooh, there's a crack in the mirror
Somewhere there’s a hole in the window-pane
Now do you think I'm to blame
Tell me do you think I'm to blame
[Chorus]
(When they do it) You’re never there
(When they show it) You stop and stare
(Abacab) Isn't anywhere
(Abacab)
[Verse 2]
If you're wrappin' up the world
'Cause you've taken, ah, someone else's girl
Now, when they turn on the pillow
Or even when they answer the telephone
Now, don't you think they’ll find out
Tell me don’t you think they'll find out
[Chorus]
(When they do it) You’re never there
(When they show it) You stop and stare
(Abacab) Isn't anywhere
(Abacab) Doesn't really care, oh
[Non-Lyrical Vocals]
[Bridge]
You want it, you've got it, now gotta go
Ch-ch want it, ch-ch got it, well now you know
[Verse 3]
It’s an illusion, ch-ch it's a game
A reflection of someone else's name
Ooh, when you wake in the morning
You wake and find you're covered in cellophane
You know there's a hole in there somewhere
You know there's a hole in there somewhere
Babe, now there's a hole in there somewhere
Ah, there's a hole in there somewhere
[Chorus]
(When they do it) You're never there
(When they show it) You stop and stare
(Abacab) Isn't anywhere
(Abacab)
