Built in the belly of junk by the river my cabin stands
Made from the trash I dug out 'the heap, with my own fair hands
Every night, I'm back at the shack and I'm sure no one is there
I'm putting the aerial up, so I can go out on the air

On the air
On the air
On the air

Every morning I'm out at dawn with the dwarfs and the tramp
For a silent communion lit from above by the sodium lamps
Everyone I meet on the street acts as if I wasn't there
But they're all going to know who I am 'cos I can go out on the air

On the air
On the air
On the air

Leaving the car down leafy lane
Turning out Tarzan for my Jungle Jane
anyone at all
From Captain Zero and his brand of superhero
standing by a call
Oh it's not easy
No it's not easy
Making real friends

Don't give me your steak-reared milkboys, milkboys
Half alive on empty white noise, white noise
I got power, I'm proud to be loud; my signal goes out clear
I want everybody to know that Mozo is here

On the air
On the air
On the air

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.
