Track from the multiple Grammy and Brit Award-winning album No Jacket Required (1985).

Stay up-to-date with Phil Collins:

Lyrics
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
Turn it off

No comment required.

Phil Collins is a gift to humanity.

[PatriciaCoberly]

This, to me, is the best song on this album. Love Sting's background vocals.

[MulaBatiswaHutagaol]

This song made the loss felt by Ricardo Tubbs felt so real, shattering heart.
And it also made how pure and genuine the sincerety from his colleagues, especially Sonny Crockett.

[frogdogink]

Something so incredibly beautiful that my heart just breaks....

[darkanubis]

This is one of my favorites on the album. And I loved Sting in the background vocals.
Phil I ♥️your voice you are wonderful.

Today 3-01 -2024 I heard Phil just performed a goodbye concert to his fans he looked so frail and thin. I grew up listening to genesis and him solo. This song always stood out. It still socially relevant.

64 now, and seems we still have a long way to go. Seen too much evil my whole life. Only the love of my life, my wife Lisa keeps me going.

[Poolman]

My mom just passed away yesterday. I've been listening to this over and over. My way of coping I guess.

[dwaynne_way]

My father brought me up listening to Phil and I had the privilege of seeing him perform in London on my 25th Birthday, such beautiful music made by a LEGEND

[trevormorris]

I’m 38 years old and I found this gem for the first time last night. I will be playing it over and over for the rest of my life! 💎

[amarokingtelly]

One of the gems from No Jacket Required. Phil's music has been part of my life since I was 8 in 1989. A legend and still very underrated by many.

[o.portista]

Literally, One of Phil's most underrated work, and tracks. Amazing how time flies, and how this song never gets old. Long live Phil Collins, a legend forever. A true inspiration, and what a legacy. 👑👑👑

[GarryCornell-ko]

When you think everything is great in your life and the world...Listen!

[apparition]

This is, hands down, my favorite Phil Collins song.

[mattmasonsinger]

This is pure genius. Haunting music and the message is more relevant now, than it was in the 80s. Considering how far we should've come and haven't. Which is the sign of a quality song writer. Plus Sting's voice is perfect for it too. These types of artists don't exist now.

[michaeldavis]

I remember hearing this song in a Miami Vice Episode as a kid. Phil has such a good voice

[ameciawilliams]

I can hear the magic between Phil and sting vocals. Beautiful 😍

[obxarms]

Best track Phil ever did. Stings harmony penetrates the soul.

[potatopower]

This man is a legend. This song haunts my soul.

[galebailey]

The seeds of Another Day in Paradise can be heard in this song. Both are magnificent stand-alone songs.
