No Self Control (from the 1988 ‘This Way Up’ world tour film ‘P.O.V.’) Songtext
von Peter Gabriel

Gotta get some food, I′m so hungry all the time
I don't know how to stop, I don′t know how to stop
Gotta get some sleep, I'm so nervous in the night
But I don't know how to stop, I don′t know how to stop
I don′t know how to stop, I don't know how to stop

I got to pick up the phone, I will call any number
I will talk to anyone
I know I′m gone too far, much too far I gone this time
Don't wanna think what I′d done
'Cause I don′t know how to stop, I don't know how to stop


There are always hidden silences
Waiting behind the chair
They come out when the coast is clear
They eat anything that moves
I got shaky at the knees
Lights go out, stars come down
Like a swarm of bees

No self-control
No self-control
No self-control
No self-control
No self-control (no self-control)
No self-control (no self-control)
No self-control (no self-, no)

You know I hate to hurt you, I hate to see your pain
But I don't know how to stop, I don′t know how to stop
Street after street, night after night
I walk on through the rain, I walk on through the rain

I don′t know how to stop, I don't know how to stop
No, I don′t know how to stop, I don't know how to stop
Hey, I don′t know how to stop, I don't know how to stop
