Got listening to "Both Sides" on Napster last night, the album that Phil Collins recorded in his house after his seperation/divorce/skinning alive in the courtroom.
Its heartbreak central
It wrings with emotion in every line
Its superb
And he's written crap for Disney Corp ever since
Take these lyrics from "Everyday"
It picked me up, knocked me off my feet
I've got no way to explain
still I love you, love you, love you but this fire inside
will never see the light of day
So everyday goes by
and everyday I fall
it makes me wonder why,
my life's worth nothing without you
The book closes and we try to forget
but I know that things won't change
how we feel, how life goes on
and that seems so strange
And so the light fades away
try, try, try as I may
I can't stop thinking about you
it seems my life's worth nothing without you
But everyday I say I'll try
to make my heart be still
'til then every way there is to cry,
ourselves to sleep, we will
You can feel the angst in every line can't you ?
Wonderfull stuff
Now consider this one from the cartoon film "Tarzan"
For one so small,
you seem so strong
My arms will hold you,
keep you safe and warm
This bond between us
Can't be broken
I will be here
Don't you cry
'Cause you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more
You'll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You'll be here in my heart, always
I rest my case
You need some pain Mr Collins, get another divorce before your sales suffer too much.
