While recording it I realized it could relate to all those who end up on the street to be able to live their lives as themselves, and it saddened me very much. Rose.
Phil Collins - Another Day in Paradise
Album: ...But Seriously (1989)
She calls out to the man on the street
Sir, can you help me
It's cold and I've nowhere to sleep
Is there somewhere you can tell me
He walks on, doesn't look back
He pretends he can't hear her
Starts to whistle as he crosses the street
Seems embarrassed to be there
Oh, think twice, cause it's another day
For you and me in paradise
Oh, think twice, cause it's another day
For you, you and me in paradise
Think about it
She calls out to the man on the street
He can see she's been cryin'
She's got blisters on the soles of her feet
She can't walk but she's tryin'
Oh, think twice, cause it's another day
For you and me in paradise
Oh, think twice, it's just another day
For you, you and me in paradise
Just think about it, just think about it
Oh Lord, is there nothing more anybody can do
Oh Lord, there must be something you can say
You can tell from the lines on her face
You can see that she's been there
Probably been moved on from every place
'Cause she didn't fit in there
Oh, think twice, cause it's another day
For you and me in paradise
Oh, think twice, it's just another day
For you, you and me in paradise
Just think about it, think about it
It's just another day
For you and me in paradise
It's just another day
For you and me in paradise...
