"I Have the Touch" is a song by the English rock musician Peter Gabriel from his fourth eponymous studio album released in 1982.

In addition to the LinnDrum programming provided by Gabriel, Jerry Marotta also recorded some acoustic drums, which was treated with gated reverb.

[8] At the end of the song, Gabriel lists off several activities that he believes are insufficient to human contact, including arm folding, scratching, and finger tapping.

[9] Gabriel created the chord progression of "Across the River" the night prior to the recording session and mixed the song the following day.

An edited remix of this version was later released on the 12" single of "Sledgehammer" and the compilation album Shaking the Tree: Sixteen Golden Greats (1990).
