So, you know how people are
When it's all gone much too far
The way their minds are made
Still, there's something you should know
That I could not let show
That fear of letting go
And in this in moment, I need to be needed
With this darkness all around me
I like to be liked
In this emptiness and fear I want to be wanted
'Cos I love to be loved
I love to be loved
I love to be loved
Yes I love to be loved
I cry the way the babies cry
The way they can't deny
The way they feel
Words, they climb all over you,
'Til they uncover you
From where you hide
And in this moment, I need to be needed
When my self-esteem is sinking,
I like to be liked
In this emptiness and fear,
I wanna be wanted
'Cos I love to be loved,
I love to be loved
I love to be loved,
Oh I love to be loved
This old familiar craving
I've been here before
This way of behaving
Don't know who the hell I'm saving any more
Let it pass let it go let it leave
From the deepest place I grieve
This time I believe
And I let go,
And I let go
I can't let go of it
Though it takes all the strength in me
And all the world can see
I'm losing such a central part of me
I can't let go of it
You know I mean it
You know that I mean it
I recognize how much I've lost
But I cannot face the cost
'Cos I love to be loved
Yes I love to be loved
I love to be loved
Yes I love to be loved
I love to be loved
Yes I love to be loved
I love to be loved
I love to be loved
I love to be loved
Yes I love to be loved
A rock master...
A pop master...
A modern music master.
I agree with comments below...less Peter Gabriel would be welcome. I loved Genesis in the day and really admire PG but it is beginning to all sound the same...I especially like Tiggers comment about "monotonic"...great phrase...and I want PG to be nothing less that brilliant to me. And k-man! Love the black and white rainbow idea
I would like less U2, but I don't want anyone to take any notice of my opinion.
You do if you have small speakers!
There can never be too much Peter Gabriel
I wish there was a way to create individual "do not play lists" that would automatically activate the PSD. PG would be the first added to mine.
I heartily agree with the auto-skip idea (though I happen to like PG). This would have two nice effects - listeners wouldn´t be bothered by music that they dislike enough to rate low, and there would be so much less whining/whinging about songs, since (only) the affected listeners wouldn´t hear them. How about it Bill? Should be an easy task...
Just let Bill and Rebecca spin the discs (or file-stream the Flacs) and enjoy!
I've got so much new (to me) music off RP that it is AWESOME!!! Much of the material comes from the listeners anyway - so it's kind-of democratic...
If there was a Pixar film about various adult toys with personas and dialog with each other when not in use in someone's bedside table drawer...this could be the song when a dildo reminisces about late night weekends. The movie could be called..."Buzzzzz". I'm a sordid, sick individual...I apologize in advance! Sorry.
c.
ps - that would be a pretty funny movie!

This is a great comment. something I probably would have come up with(of the sort) had I not been in the process of an unwanted divorce when this came out...
Thanks for the visual humor and laughs...
I do believe RP is the world's greatest argument for benevolent dictatorship. But for the record, the democracy of thumbs up/down is not supporting your position either...
RP is the epitome of One Man, One Vote.
Bill is the one man. He casts the one vote.
(I actually do not know how much Bill and Rebecca share the programming duties, but I assume they have worked out an equitable division of responsibilities, and it is overall none of my business).
I wish there was a way to create individual "do not play lists" that would automatically activate the PSD. PG would be the first added to mine.
Mine would include U2, Tracey Chapman, Norah Jones, Death Cab For Cutie, Dire Straits and Depeche Mode. Oh, and Patti Smith.

I happen to really like PG (although IMO this isn't one of his strongest songs), but I would love to see that feature as well. So tired of U2 and Tori. But <shrug> RP is what it is. PSD FTW.

Agree totally
Would be nice to hear an acoustic version of this song.
80's-90's arrangement interferes with appreciation of who song...
Honestly, I think you need to look up monotone in the dictionary. I hear many different tones, and octaves too.
But what can ya say, if you don't like it ya don't like it. But try not to call a rainbow black and white.
It is funny, interesting, amazing, to hear all these stories about how we go through difficult times with some music... I guess that is one of the magic things about music. I do have also music that, at some stage, help me through difficult times, and it is different for different ocassions. ... there is some kind of music for everybody that really connects with the soul and, somehow, makes you feel better (or at least not so bad),.. is it the same for everybody?
Yep, without a doubt!
Passionately droning.
Zealously monotone.
Oh well, he sure influenced and entertained us for decades!
Thank you Peter. Your music will always be in my heart.
Didn't "Passion" come after this one? It is rather outstanding and hugely influential.
I always crank this one to 11
Musically he really does write some good stuff, he really ought to go ahead and hire someone to sing his songs for him though, it is not like he can't afford it now.

I like his earlier work too, but sometimes we need a little therapy.

whoa...
Has anybody else missed this individual's pearls of wisdom recently?
Awesome PG!
"Us" (the CD from which this song is on) came out in 2000 yo.

Nope, black321 has it right. "Us" was released in 1992. "OVO" came out in 2000.
That said, this isn't the '92 version. Allmusic.com says the track appeared twice more: in '94 as a B-side to Lovetown and in '97 on a Huckleberry House 30th Anniversary disc. I don't know which one wins the prize, but I'd bet this version is one of those.
. . . chase this with Deep Forest - sounds similar

Every single day. Yeah, baby. Go Peter.

Peter Gabriel on a bad day is better than most at their best.
