These are doctorinfierno's notes on In the Air Tonight by Phil Collins.

I can feel it coming in the air tonight, Oh Lord
I've been waiting for this moment, all my life, Oh Lord
Can you feel it coming in the air tonight, Oh Lord, Oh Lord

Well, if you told me you were drowning
I would not lend a hand
I've seen your face before my friend
But I don't know if you know who I am
Well, I was there and I saw what you did
I saw it with my own two eyes
So you can wipe off the grin, I know where you've been
It's all been a pack of lies
[1]

And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, Oh Lord
I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, Oh Lord
I can feel it in the air tonight, Oh Lord, Oh Lord
And I've been waiting for this moment all my life, Oh Lord, Oh Lord

Well I remember, I remember don't worry
How could I ever forget, it's the first time, the last time we ever met
But I know the reason why you keep your silence up, no you don't fool me
The hurt doesn't show; but the pain still grows
It's no stranger to you or me


And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, Oh Lord...

[1] Existe un mito urbano, el cual fue popularizado por Eminem, el cual dice que Phil vio un accidente de automobiles donde un hombre dejó a otro hombre morir, y por eso escribió esta canción. Y luego en un concierto él ve al perpetrador y le canta toda la canción en su cara. Pues resulta que el tema de la canción, como el del resto del álbum, es sobre la separación de su esposa, momento que vivió mientras grababa 'Face Value'
