"Listen, you know I love you, but I just can't take this,
You know I love you, but I'm playing for keeps,
Although I need you, I'm not gonna make this,
You know I want to, but I'm in too deep."

Basically here Collins sings about a man who is making love to a woman he thinks is wanting to leave the relationship, he want's to ejaculate inside her but fears it could lead to pregnancy. 

The Genesis song Tonight, Tonight is also a cleverly disguised song and it covers the topic of addiction... ...sex addiction.

Obvious reference to masturbation. I bet there are many more in the album. 

I think you need help.

Honest, most think it's a drug related song but it's definitely not.

"I'm coming down, coming down like a monkey, but it's alright
Like a load on your back that you can't see, ooh but it's alright
Try to shake it loose, cut it free, just let it go, get it away from me.

Cos tonight, tonight, tonight - oh, I'm gonna make it right
Tonight, tonight, tonight - oh."

"We're gonna make it right
Tonight, tonight, tonight - oh."

No matter how much he masturbates, trying to shake that load loose, he can't quench his sexual urges, he hopes a visit to a lady of the night will abate his insatiable desires. 

Plenty of 'oh' and 'ooh's' thrown in for effect too.

Collins also explored extreme perversion in his song Thru These Walls:

"I can hear through these walls

I can hear it when they're foolin' around
I can hear through these walls and
I hear every sign, every sound
I can hear through these walls
In the dark with the shades pulled down
Every word that they say
Every move they make feels it's coming my way

My favorite moment putting the glass up next to the wall
Imagination though I see nothing, I hear it all
Putting my sign up do not disturb me, speak or shout, inside out
Oh when my clothes, they're all laid out

I can see through my windows
I can see the girls and the boys
I can see through my windows and
I can imagine the noise
I can see through my windows
I can see them playing with toys
Oh I hope it won't end
If I promise not to touch, just be a friend

Life is so lonely and I don't get high off just being me
I like pretending wanting to touch them, wanting to see
It's only normal creeping behind you, now don't shout, 'cause it's alright
They keep the windows locked and the door shut tight

Oo I'm feeling like I'm locked in a cage no way in, no way out
And it gets so lonely am I really asking a lot
Just to reach out and touch somebody?
'Cause when I look through my windows or open my door
I can feel it all around me

And I can hear through these walls
I can hear it when they're foolin' 'round
I can hear through these walls
I can hear every sight, every sound
I can hear through these walls
In the dark with the shades pulled down
And every word that they say
Every noise they make feels it's coming my way

Ah yeah
Ah yeah
Ah yeah
Ah yeah"

All right, you lost me with "Tonight Tonight Tonight".  If that song isn't about drugs then my name ain't Nathan Arizona.

Nope, sex addiction, Genesis are very clever. Sometimes when they performed live they'd change the lyrics around or tell stories just to confirm our suspicions! 

"Ooh she's got a body under that shirt but the only thing she'll rub is my face in the dirt."

The Way we walk live revision is slightly more obvious than the studio verse!

I know what I like (in your Wardrobe)

I'm going to cut straight to the point here, it's a song about anal sex.

Denmark and Wales, I'm sure there's a connection somewhere.

And did you know that Sabbath's self-titled debut is all about a guy who had no tongue. It is, I tell ya' ....
The line 'I was born without you baby, but my feelings were a little bit too strong'. Man, poor guy, what can I say........no cunnilingus for you......

At the absolute most it's about a peeping tom. (From what I understand of knowing what someone likes in someone elses's wardrobe, at any rate.)

I am curious what you believe "keep them mowing blades sharp" means, though.
Wait, wait wait--I got this... it means circumcise your multiple phalluses, right? LOL

No, the line refers to sustaining an erection. Mowing blade! 

"Sunday night, mr farmer called, said:
Listen son, you're wasting your time; there's a future for you
In the fire escape trade. come up to town!
But I remebered a voice from the past;
Gambling only pays when you're winning
- I had to thank old miss mort for schooling a failure.
Keep them mowing blades sharp...

I know what I like, and I like what I know;
Getting better in your wardrobe, stepping one beyond your show."

Basically Mr Farmer calling at night is his erection popping up, Genesis often use 'night' as code word for time/need for sex. Farmer equals plough/fertilizer/grow etc. Loose terms for 'giving it to someone' etc. At this point he's thinking of anal "fire escape!" to improve his sex life but a controlling female or former conquest at some stage or his life has made him a bit of a limp dick, "gambling (on anal) only pays when you hard/winning" so anal might be off the menu. He knows he prefers anal and the reference to stepping one beyond your show is to step up to the next hole.
