"Thru These Walls" is a Phil Collins song from his second solo album Hello, I Must be Going!. The song is about a man listening through the wall to his neighbours partaking in unseemly nighttime activities. The song didn't enjoy as much success as the three previous singles from Phil's first album, Face Value, the song did peak at #56 in the UK, but was never released as a single in the US. The song certainly does fit in with the dark feeling of the album, with other 'dark' tracks from the album such as "I Don't Care Anymore".
