PHIL COLLINS - DOESN'T ANYBODY STAY TOGETHER ANYMORE

(taken from the Serious Tour live concert in Berlin,

Waldbuehne, 15-Jul-1990)

[We're gonna do an old song now. We're gonna do an old song

we've done some new things to it, and I hope you like it.]

You keep on walking so you don't fall down, it's the same old story

You keep on hiding so you can't be found, it's the same old story

But I know you, you're the one who ran

And I know why, it's because you can

That's alright, I don't mind, I'm just tryin' out

Chorus:

But I wonder why doesn't anybody stay together anymore

I wonder why doesn't anybody stay together anymore

Yes I wonder why doesn't anybody stay together anymore

Just wonder why doesn't anybody stay together anymore

My friends keep falling and they don't get up, it's the same old story

One says white and the other one black, it's the same old story

But I don't know why you keep emotions warded

Your hat's on your sleeve, but your sleeve is rolled up

That's alright, 'cos I don't mind, I'm just tryin' out

chorus

Things can change from a misunderstanding

Nobody talks, nobody breathes, no, makes me wonder why

(Solo)

You keep on looking for that higher ground, it's the same old story

Your glass is empty and the chips are down, it's the same old story

But I know you, you're the one who ran

And I know why, it's because you can

That's alright, I don't mind, I'm just tryin' out

chorus

Yes I wonder why, yes I wonder why

Oh I wonder why, yes I wonder why

Oh yeah, I wonder why, I wonder why

I wonder why
