Long Long Way to Go
Phil Collins · Platinum Collection [2004]
While I sit here trying to think of things to say
Someone lies bleeding in a field somewhere
So it would seem we've still got a long long way to go
I've seen all I wanna see today
While I sit here trying to move you anyway I can
Someone's son lies dead in a gutter somewhere
And it would seem that we've got a long long way to go
But I can't take it anymore
Turn it off if you want to
Switch it off it will go away
Turn it off if you want to
Switch it off or look away
While I sit and we talk and talk and we talk some more
Someone's loved one's heart stops beating in a street somewhere
So it would seem we've still got a long long way to go, I know
I've heard all I wanna hear today
Turn it off if you want to (turn it off if you want to)
Switch it off it will go away (switch it off it will go away)
Turn it off if you want to (turn it off if you want to)
Switch it off or look away (switch it off or look away)
Switch it off
Switch it off
Switch it off
Switch it off
Switch it off
Turn it off
Someone lies bleeding in a field somewhere
So it would seem we've still got a long long way to go
I've seen all I wanna see today
While I sit here trying to move you anyway I can
Someone's son lies dead in a gutter somewhere
And it would seem that we've got a long long way to go
But I can't take it anymore
Turn it off if you want to
Switch it off it will go away
Turn it off if you want to
Switch it off or look away
While I sit and we talk and talk and we talk some more
Someone's loved one's heart stops beating in a street somewhere
So it would seem we've still got a long long way to go, I know
I've heard all I wanna hear today
Turn it off if you want to (turn it off if you want to)
Switch it off it will go away (switch it off it will go away)
Turn it off if you want to (turn it off if you want to)
Switch it off or look away (switch it off or look away)
Switch it off
Switch it off
Switch it off
Switch it off
Switch it off
Turn it off
Long Long Way to Go
Phil Collins' "Long Long Way to Go" stands as a defining track from his 1985 album *Face Value*, showcasing his evolution from synth-pop to a more mature, rock-infused sound. The song features his signature falsetto vocals and driving rhythm, reflecting the themes of perseverance and the passage of time that characterize much of his work during this era. Released alongside hits like "In the Air Tonight" and "Another Day in Paradise," the track became a staple of his discography, demonstrating his ability to blend pop sensibilities with emotional depth. It remains a celebrated example of 1980s music that continues to resonate with listeners decades later.
