Songwriter: Mike Rutherford Tony Banks

Producer: Genesis Nick Davis

I'm a million miles from anywhere
Where can I be
Somewhere out on the ocean
Just take a look on the horizon
What can you see ?
There's nothing there for me

[HOOK]
I feel shipwrecked
I might as well be shipwrecked
I'm helpless and alone
Drifting out to sea
I can't believe what you said to me

And standing on the corner
Of a busy city street
I still feel so lonely
Why just say you wanna be with me
But the next day say you don't

[HOOK]

Without you I feel shipwrecked
But I can't let it show

A million miles away from anywhere

Is it my imagination
Or is it getting darker
Either way it's getting higher
I'm a million miles away from anywhere
A million miles away from anything I know

[HOOK]

You know that's why I'm shipwrecked
Shipwrecked

Losing my direction
Please come and rescue me

Shipwrecked [X 4 OUTRO]

Genesis

Genesis are an English rock band formed at Charterhouse School, Godalming, Surrey in 1967. The most commercially successful line-up includes keyboardist Tony Banks, guitarist Mike Rutherford and drummer/singer Phil Collins. Other important members were singer Peter Gabriel and guitarist Steve Hackett. The band underwent several significant changes in musical style over its career, from folk music to progressive rock in the 1970s, before moving towards pop at the end of the decade.

Formed by five Charterhouse pupils including Banks, Rutherford, Gabriel and Anthony Phillips, Genesis was named by former pupil Jonathan King who arranged them to record several unsuccessful singles and an album. After splitting with King, the group began touring professionally, signing with Charisma Records. Following the departure of Phillips, Genesis recruited Collins and Hackett and recorded several progressive rock style albums, with live shows centred around Gabriel’s theatrical costumes and performances.

Their discography includes fifteen studio and six live albums, six of which topped the UK chart. They have won numerous awards and nominations, including a Grammy Award for Best Concept Music Video with “Land of Confusion” and inspired a number of tribute bands recreating Genesis shows from various stages of the band’s career. In 2010, Genesis were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Their biggest hit to date is Invisible Touch which spent 3 consecutive weeks at #1.
