Letra de
In The Air Tonight

In the Air Tonight ha sido objeto de varios mitos urbanos y leyendas sobre un supuesto incidente de ahogamiento presenciado por Phil Collins. Sin embargo, Collins ha desmentido estas historias y explicó que la canción fue escrita durante un período tumultuoso en su vida personal, refiriéndose específicamente a su divorcio de su entonces esposa. La canción refleja sus sentimientos de ira y frustración en ese momento.

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

Well, when 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
But I was there and I saw what you did
Saw it with my own two eyes
So you can wipe off that grin I know where you've been
It's all been a pack of lies

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 coming in the air tonight oh lord
Oh lord

Well, I remember
I remember, don't worry
How could I ever forget?
It's the first time and the last time we ever met
But I know the reason why you keep this silence up
No, you don't fool me
For the hurt doesn't show
But the pain still grows
Some stranger to you and me

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 coming in the air tonight oh lord
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 coming in the air tonight oh lord
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 coming in the air tonight oh lord
