i'm not saying it happened. i'm just asking questions. i'd just say that there is nothing inconsistent with this possibility within his discography. there are no PG songs which make me think "this is not the sort of song that a man raped by phil collins would write."

in fact, if you look at his 1980 single "No Self Control," one could easily imagine the song being sung by PG from the perspective of a rapist collins, while the b-side "Lead a Normal Life" is from the victim's perspective.

Red rain is coming down

Red rain

Red rain is pouring down

Pouring down all over me

I am standing up at the water's edge in my dream

I cannot make a single sound as you scream

It can't be that cold, the ground is still warm to touch

Hey, we touch

This place is so quiet, sensing that storm

Red rain is coming down

Red rain

Red rain is pouring down

Pouring down all over me

Climbing up on Solsbury Hill

I could see the city light

Wind was blowing, time stood still

Eagle flew out of the night

He was something to observe

Came in close, I heard a voice

Standing stretching every nerve

Had to listen had no choice

I did not believe the information

(I) just had to trust imagination

My heart going boom boom boom

"Son, " he said "Grab your things,

I've come to take you home."

To keep in silence I resigned

My friends would think I was a nut

Turning water into wine

Open doors would soon be shut

So I went from day to day

Tho' my life was in a rut

"Till I thought of what I'd say

Which connection I should cut

I was feeling part of the scenery

I walked right out of the machinery

My heart going boom boom boom

"Hey" he said "Grab your things

I've come to take you home."

Back home

"Not One of Us" is equal parts anger towards the rapist Collins and self-doubt caused by the assault. Collins' violent act makes him an animal, ie not part of humanity. Yet the victim no longer feels human either due to his shame.

you could also look at PHIL'S solo work as evidence of a man who knows what he did, but who refuses to take responsibility. 'This Must Be Love'? 'I Don't Care Anymore'? 'Both Sides of the Story'? 'Two Hearts'? 'Don't Lose My Number'? 'One More Night'? 'Why Can't It Wait 'Til Morning'? 'It Don't Matter to Me'? 'Easy Lover'? (LOL).
