Musicbrainz DBThere's a bump in the basement
There's a knocking on the wall
In the pumping of the pistons
I swear I heard you call
There's a bump in the basement
There's a hole in the floor
There's a guard in the garden
Locking up the door
There's a rumble in the floorboards
No shutting out the sound
And the workers down below me
Digging underground
Feel the building all around me
Like a wrap of armoured skin
But the more we are protected
The more we're trapped within
We’re building up and up.
We’re building up and up.
We’re building up and up.
We’re building up and up.till we can touch the sky.
Tell it like it is
Till there's no misunderstanding
When you strip it right back
Man feed machine
Machine feed man
Tell it like it is (And on this land, we cast our fortune)
Till there's no misunderstanding (And on this ground, we make our home)
You make up what you like
Man feed machine
Machine feed man
…
Brick by brick by brick by brick we're building
Brick by brick by brick by brick we're building
Brick by brick by brick by brick we're building
Brick by brick by brick by brick we're building
Brick by brick by brick by brick we're building
Brick by brick by brick by brick we're building
| alwaysoffline | Posted: Jun 17, 2013 - 16:37 Anyone remember the eighties? Yep. Raising kids. Remember it well; not many intoxicants during that period. That was when we all thought that Phil Collins was the talented guy that left Genesis. Depends on your definition of "talent". Some of us thought Mr. Gabriel's departure as such. Agreed. I and everyone I knew always thought of Gabriel as true genuis Go on, admit it, you KNOW you did! Mr. Collins' music was included in a lot of movies, and did seem to be everywhere on Miami Vice. Or was that the '90s? In fact, that's why they hosted it on Miami Vice; the music was so awful it was a crime unto itself... Not criticizing, just saying I have a differing opinion. Ok, I'll stop bashing Phil now - lol |
| alwaysoffline | Posted: Jun 17, 2013 - 16:31 Phil Collins: Don't forget, he had to make up the name "Susudio" because he couldn't find any other word to rhyme. Typical for his mediocre, banal lyrics (and compositions, for that matter). I think that song appeared on that mess called "No Talent Required".... fredriley wrote: It's an insult to Barry Manilow to put that tone-deaf w@nker Collins in the same category. At least Manilow can sing and doesn't take himself seriously. For that matter, it's an insult to w@nkers to elevate Collins to the same category. My fave Collins moment was when he was comprehensively gulled in the infamous Channel 4 Brass Eye 'pedo special' into talking "nonce sense", after which he threatened legal action against the channel because he couldn't accept being exposed as a complete and utter tit. I loathed Genesis back in my adolescence, and that loathing unfortunately extended to all its former members. It's only after listening to Gabriel on RP that I realise how great an artist he is, and how untainted with the Genesis bombastic bollox he is. |
| sajitjacob (Christchurch NZ) | Posted: Jun 17, 2013 - 16:29 Hah! not at all. Certain people continue to hold a place in your heart no matter how much time passes. PG is definitely one for me along with David Attenborough and Doctor Who. PG was part of my musical awakening (if you can call it such) in the early 80's. mrtuba9 wrote: This might sound weird, but I hope he never dies... |

PC's first couple solo albums were pretty good before he started catering to the top 40 crowd |

| RC_in_Bezerkeley (People's Republic of Berkeley) | Posted: Nov 09, 2012 - 15:40 He performed this during the encore at the San Jose show last month. I'd never heard it live before. Wow! Waiting for my CD's of the show to be delivered... |
| WaxHorse | Posted: Nov 09, 2012 - 15:38 Gawd! It has a sort of Rob Zombie vibe! |

| smackiepipe (Western North Carolina) | Posted: Aug 07, 2012 - 05:46 Excellent Gritty Gabriel. |
| TerryS (Another SW) | Posted: Jul 06, 2012 - 19:27 Agreed, this one was under my radar. |
| krysthal (Toronto, Canada) | Posted: Jul 06, 2012 - 19:25 Thought I knew all of Peter Gabriel woks, then RPbplays this. Thanks Rebecca and Bill! |
| sillyboy (Newark, DE) | Posted: May 04, 2012 - 07:09 I'm really digging this one. |
| jen3005545 (Fort Worth, TX) | Posted: May 04, 2012 - 07:06  Shocked that this is Peter Gabriel! I like! |

| smackiepipe (Western North Carolina) | Posted: Dec 29, 2011 - 11:16 Oh hells yeah. |
| planet_lizard (Sagittarius Dwarf Elliptical Galaxy) | Posted: Sep 25, 2011 - 10:37 OVO is almost a masterpiece. Some of the music is amongst PG's best and extremely powerful. However the premise is/was odd and some of the poetry is decidedly clunky and a bit sixth form. |
| (former member) (hotel in Las Vegas) | Posted: Jul 24, 2011 - 17:00 I could not respond to this song while it was playing because I was too busy dancing... this song is good... |
| MiracleDrug (Earth) | Posted: Jun 23, 2011 - 04:18 an obscure but still excellent cut from the most vital voice of his generation... Peter invented "contemporary" if that's what you call his synthesis of seemingly dissimilar musical elements... |

| pcicatar (Portland, OR) | Posted: Dec 16, 2010 - 09:35 Interesting track. It'd originally been on OVO, the music he'd written for the Millennium Show. The same album had "Father and Son" and "Downside Up", which he now plays live pretty regularly. You can find for info at the OVO wiki page. If you haven't heard the album, it's worth exploring! |

I've never seen Red Planet, either, and I can't remember if it was supposed to be decent, or an embarrassing suckfest. Agree on the music. The movie was forgettable, but on a rainy Tuesday night with nothing else happening, it would be a diversion... |

| Roguewarer (Southfield, MI) | Posted: Oct 29, 2010 - 17:36 This guy is just pure, walking genius. I know a lot of his music, but hadn't heard (or maybe remembered) this. It's one of those many RP tunes that plays and I have to stop what I'm doing and find out the title/artist/album. But I'm probably the ONLY one that EVER does that. Thanks, Bill & Bec! |

| greyfin10 (Panama City, FL) | Posted: Jun 08, 2010 - 10:27 Good work groove song... above and beyond it's other merits. I love me a good concentration mantra song. |

| mandolin (...drifting...) | Posted: Jun 08, 2010 - 10:25 ...something about the music from ovo gnaws at me, deep inside... |
| Stefen (West Hollywood, CA) | Posted: May 07, 2010 - 17:03 Really good. Kind of Philip Glass-like. |
| Greyjoca (Cambridge, Massachusetts) | Posted: Mar 05, 2010 - 09:09 Love this. Went to see the OVO show at the Millennium Dome back in '00 in London, it was awesome and the Gabriel soundtrack was amazing. Is this also from that or what? |
| cohifi (Denver) | Posted: Feb 01, 2010 - 21:25 Thanks for helping me see where Beck got some influence maybe. |
| helgigermany (Germany) | Posted: Jan 01, 2010 - 10:43 Sounds not so good today for me. Normally i like his music very much, but this one today!??? |
