phil collins genesis lyric - please?

"you spent som any nights alone while I stayed downstairs drinking beer"

any ideas

My elder brother is a genesis obsessive…

Are you sure you don't mean "playing records upstairs while he watched tv, I didn't spend the time I should"? If so, that was 'All Of My Life' from PC's But Seriously album. Here's the rest:

All of my life, I've been searchin
For the words to say how I feel.
I'd spend my time thinking too much
and leave too little to say what I mean
But I've tried to understand the best I can
All of my life . . .

All of my life, I've been saying sorry
for the things I know I should've done
All the things I could have said, come back to me
Sometimes I wish that it had just begun.
Seems I'm always that little too late
All of my life . . .

Set 'em up, I'll take a drink with you
Pull up a chair, I think I'll stay
Set 'em up, cos I'm going nowhere
There's too much I need to remember
And there's too much I need to say

All of my life, I've been looking
but it's hard to find the way
Just reaching past the goal infront of me
While whats important just slips away
And it doesn't back but I'll be lookin
All of my life.

Set 'em up . . .

All of my life there have been regrets
that I didn't do all I could
playing records upstairs while he watched tv
I didn't spend the time I should
And it's a memory I will live with
All of my life
