first... this has been stated over and over again...
and two.. this has very little to do with the post. The post is about the Iraq episode... not Phil Collins. The fact that you would even go through the trouble shows you WANT me to be wrong... hahaha... sorry potnah... I'm not. just get over it and move on.

I saw the site that gave your wack example... it was collected on the net in 94. Almost ten years after the song was released... no.

here are the lyrics.
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

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...


that being said you could clearly understand why people came to the conclusion.

Actually... the way the story worked (and your site was wrong) was that Phil watched another man watch another man drown. Since the man didn't help the man... eventually he sent him front row tickets to his show... during the song, as legend has it, he sang the song to him.
But of course...
petty ass motherfucker.
Now... on to the post.
