Deborah from MichiganAbsolutely love this song, if I saw my ex husband drowning I would Not Lend a Hand.If true, then this has got to be one of the funniest examples of censorship in history.

Not sure how true it is, but during the Gulf War, a few radio stations in the UK banned this song for being,"too moody & depressing".

They were playing a list of top songs that were banned, & surprisingly, this song was on that list! Benn from VillawoodI heard another crazy story about this song on a local radio station.That meant something to me to hear her sayĪwesome song, awesome drums. Sometimes, I wish we still had those conversations, even if it was just in jest. She told me a real man would have let her go 2 years ago. I ended it, and blocked her number for reasons I won’t get into not important. Well me and her are history now and it looks like it’s the last time. I told her, one day I may ask you that for real. Sometimes I would ask my old girlfriend the same thing and she would immediately say “yes, it was real.” The way we used to be together, I don’t mean lately. Left High Kick from Middle Class UsaRemember in Miami Vice 1985 when Don Johnson pulls over and calls the ex-wife and says.see for yourself if the words don't all fit perfectly. as a man, confronts the priest- I know what you've done, even if you don't remember me. An alter boy/choirboy molested by a priest. Ken from Hudsonmy take is a little different.So he is speaking to the Lord and announcing he is ready to meet his fate. How long will I live? He knows his moment is this night. Now the moment one is always curious to learn is upon him. He has been immoral, dishonest and complicit but not asking for forgiveness. The conversation is actually with himself. I see a dying man trying to make peace with himself. I'm sure you can understand my connection to this song as time continued and life only became more challenging and forced me at 6 yrs old, to "cull" the other 6 by drowning. as the man who raised me allowed me to keep one kitten in a litter. Cj Dent from Boston In the air tonight.Speechless from United StatesSo he was upset that she had an affair, but she's the victim? What a justification.Jane from From UsaPerfection!!! Genius!! Tallent beyond belief!! Drums are the greatest!!Thanks Phil Collins let us be part of your genius journey!!.The truth is often a lot darker than anyone can imagine. *.most people have no idea what the song is about." There's your clue. "He added that most people have no idea what the song is about, but that's OK.

Phil Collins later changed the story - in fact, if you watch different interviews from different years, he tells different stories, likely to cover the real meaning behind it. I was in college when this song came out, and I remember hearing the story of what it meant.
