Shaking the Tree: 16 G. Greats
  • Original
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

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

Wanting contact
I'm wanting contact
I'm wanting contact with you
Shake those hands, shake those hands
Give me the thing I understand
Shake those hands, shake those hands
Shake those hands, shake those hands

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 hand moves out and ... I have the touch

Wanting contact
I'm wanting contact
I'm wanting contact with you
Shake those hands, shake those hands
Give me the thing I understand
Shake those hands, shake those hands

Pull my chin, stroke my hair, scratch my nose, hug my knees
Try drink, food, cigarette, 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

I need contact
I need contact
Nothing seems to please

Peter Gabriel foi vocalista do Genesis até 1975

Gabriel se reuniu aos antigos colegas de Genesis em 1982. A reunião aconteceu porque ele precisava cobrir os prejuízos que tinha tido com o WOMAD, o festival de world music criado por ele.

O disco So de 1986 foi o maior sucesso comercial de Peter Gabriel. Chegou ao segundo lugar da parada americana e rendeu os hits (e clipes inovadores) Sledgehammer e Big Time.

Gabriel também compôs trilhas para cinema como as de "Asas da Liberdade" de Alan Parker e "A Última Tentação de Cristo" de Martin Scorsese.

Peter Gabriel é dono do estúdio Real World. Os rendimentos do estúdio ajudam a manter Peter como um dos músicos mais ricos da Inglaterra.
