ANOTHER DAY IN PARADISE BY PHIL COLLINS

by

LYRICS

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, it’s another day for you and me in paradise
Oh think twice, ’cause it’s just 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 crying
She’s got blisters on the soles of her feet
She can’t walk but she’s trying
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, 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 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, paradise
It’s just another day for you and me in paradise
It’s just another day for you and me in paradise, paradise
It’s just another day for you and me
It’s just another day for you and me
It’s just another day for you and me in paradise
In paradise

  1. Baby making music
    until the lyrics hit ya
    then the loneliness smacks
    that snare so sharp
    makes ya think twice
    ya spin in circles
    dancing in the street
    calling the name
    tears on your cheeks
    blistered feet
    the pain runs deep
    it’s enough
    to make ya think twice.

    A promised paradise
    the other side of pain
    an emergence
    or backslide of gains?
    Two steps forward
    4 back
    loneliness kind of hits ya
    just like that.

    -Curvy Red Gurl, 2019.

  2. SEEKING A DISTANT PARADISE

    The sun doesn’t leave me alone,
    throwing hard shadows on a covered face.
    Happiness is ever in the middle distance,
    but rarely closer in my sad eyes,
    & I’m too close to the poison regret of the city,
    so I walk the rugged lines in Nature’s palm
    praying for just one day in Paradise.

  3. Restless
    I picked up a camera
    to, at least for a minute,
    feed on the joy
    that comes with shutters,
    flashlight and a smile.
    It is another day in
    another paradise.

  4. Sunrise smiles
    to kiss the sky
    all around misery
    quivers in the breeze
    my forlorn thoughts
    ferments in a gentle wish
    where sunbeams lights
    a path for those
    who in darkness screams..
    a prelude of hope
    in flowers bloom
    to sprout beauty
    in choices of fools.
