I Have The Touch Lyrics

Lyric discussion by EnduringChill 

Cover art for I Have The Touch lyrics by Peter Gabriel

A very extroverted song by who I believe to be an introverted songwriter... interesting. But anyone can want, need human contact, of course. It's about being stimulated and envigorated by being around people, the "high" one gets from moving through them, touching, feeling, exchanging words, and how dull everything seems when no one is around. I love the last verse ("pull my chin, stroke my hair...") and always try to do the motions Peter sings at the same time he sings it.
