Phil Collins
No Reply at All (Live from The Savoy Theatre, New York, NY, 28th November 1981)
[Verse 1]
Talk to me, you never talk to me
Ooh, and it seems that I can speak
But I can hear my voice shouting out
But there's no reply at all
[Verse 2]
Look at me, you never look at me
Ooh, I've been sitting, staring, it seems so long
But you're looking through me like I wasn't here at all
No reply, you there's no reply at all
[Verse 3]
Dance with me, you never dance with me
Ooh, and it seems that I can move
Well I'm close to you, just as close as I can get
But there's no reply at all, shit there's no reply at all
[Chorus]
Well I get the feeling you're trying to tell me
Is there something that I should know?
What excuse are you trying to sell me?
Should I be reading stop or go? 'Cause I don't know
[Verse 4]
Be with me, why don't you ever be here with me
Oh, I've been trying to get over there
Oh, but it's out of my reach
There's no reply at all, shit there's no reply at all
[Chorus]
Well I get the feeling you're trying to tell me
Is there something that I should know?
What excuse are you trying to sell me?
Should I be reading stop or go? I don't know
[Bridge]
Maybe deep down inside
I'm trying for no one else but me
I'm too stubborn to say, “The buck stops here
And it's not the one you're looking for”
But, well maybe deep down inside, I'm lying
To no one else but me
Oh, and my back is up, I'm on my guard
With all the exits sealed, oh
[Verse 5]
Listen to me, how come you never listen to me?
Ooh, and it seems there's no way out
'Cause I've been trying, but we cannot connect
And there's no reply at all, you know there's no reply at all
There's no reply at all, there's no reply at all
[Outro]
Tell me, tell me! Is anybody listening?
Oh, there's no reply, there's no reply at all
Is there anybody listening? Oh, there's no reply, there's no reply
Tell me is there anybody listening? Oh, there's no reply, there's no reply
Is there anybody listening? Oh, there's no reply, there's no reply
Is there anybody listening? Oh, there's no reply, there's no reply
Is there anybody listening? Oh, there's no reply, there's no reply
