I Have The Touch Lyrics
The time I like is the rush hour, 'cos I like the rush
The pushing of the people, I like it all so much
Such a mass of motion, do not know where it goes
I move with the movement and ... I have the touch
I'm waiting for ignition, I'm looking for a spark
Any chance collision and I light up in the dark
There you stand before me, all that fur and all that hair
Oh, do I dare ... I have the touch
Only, only
Wanting contact
Only, only
I'm wanting contact
Only, only
I'm wanting contact with you
Shake those hands, shake those hands
Give me the thing I understand
Shake those hands, shake those hands
Shake hands, shake hands.
Any social occasion, hello, how do you do
All those introductions, I never miss my cue
So before a question, so before a doubt
My hand moves out and ... I have the touch
Only, only
Wanting contact
Only, only
I'm wanting contact
Only, only
I'm wanting contact with you
Shake those hands, shake those hands
Give me the thing I understand
Shake those hands, shake those hands
Shake those hands
Pull my chin, stroke my hair, scratch my nose, hug my knees
Try drink, food, cigarette, the tension will not ease
I tap my fingers, fold my arms, breathe in deep, cross my legs
Shrug my shoulders, stretch my back, but nothing seems to please
I need contact
I need contact
Nothing seems to please
I need contact
Tac-tacatac, tac-tacatac
I need contact
Nothing seems to please
I need contact
Tac-tacatac, tac-tacatac
I need contact
Ah, Tac-tacatac
I need contact
Nothing seems to please
I need contact
I need contact.
The pushing of the people, I like it all so much
Such a mass of motion, do not know where it goes
I move with the movement and ... I have the touch
Any chance collision and I light up in the dark
There you stand before me, all that fur and all that hair
Oh, do I dare ... I have the touch
Wanting contact
Only, only
I'm wanting contact
Only, only
I'm wanting contact with you
Shake those hands, shake those hands
Give me the thing I understand
Shake those hands, shake those hands
Shake hands, shake hands.
All those introductions, I never miss my cue
So before a question, so before a doubt
My hand moves out and ... I have the touch
Wanting contact
Only, only
I'm wanting contact
Only, only
I'm wanting contact with you
Shake those hands, shake those hands
Give me the thing I understand
Shake those hands, shake those hands
Shake those hands
Try drink, food, cigarette, the tension will not ease
I tap my fingers, fold my arms, breathe in deep, cross my legs
Shrug my shoulders, stretch my back, but nothing seems to please
I need contact
Nothing seems to please
I need contact
Tac-tacatac, tac-tacatac
I need contact
Nothing seems to please
I need contact
Tac-tacatac, tac-tacatac
I need contact
Ah, Tac-tacatac
I need contact
Nothing seems to please
I need contact
I need contact.

this song is confusing. It's like she needs her lover to touch her, but then whats up with the whole...shake those hands...part???I don't get it!! good song though. I like this better than the original.
I don't think this is just about wanting her lover to touch her. "Only, only, wanting contact" Seems like she wants contact with other people. With any other people. She wants someone to reach out and make contact with her because she's alone? The only thing she really understands is human, physical contact.
I can relate..
actually, i STRONGLY believe that this song is about the wiccan handshake which is done when you "SHAKE THOSE HANDS" and extend your index finger to their pulse point on their wrist... in which that time for an instant u can sorta implant a thought. and so it sounds to me like she wants to shake this guy's hand so she can tell him inadvertantly that she wants him and that maybe he wants her too.....
This song is a Peter Gabriel cover.
I think Heather Nova's verson is better thought. I belive it just simply about someone who just wants to be toucht...
This is the song that made me discover Heather Nova when I watched the Craft. I think it works with the movie because the main character is an insecure teenage girl who just wants to fit in and have friends and a nice boyfriend. I have the touch - I have the power to be yours if you'll notice me.
@davydave HAHA HA Duude I discovered Nova when I also watched The Craft. And i feel like its a lady from a small town married to an older already established man and they have to present this perfect couple to the world when reality it's lonely for her

Seems like she's loney. Probably lives in a big city where it is harder to make connections with people. She longs for human contact.
