She calls out to the man on the street
'Sir, can you help me?
It's cold and I've nowhere to sleep,
Tout comme la chanson de Genesis, Man on the Corner, Another Day in Paradise a été écrite pour sensibiliser au problème des sans domicile fixe, c'est pourquoi la chanson n'a pas un rythme aussi dance et pop que celles de l'album précédent. Another Day in Paradise est une chanson de Phil Collins sortie en tant que premier single de l'album ...But Seriously le 9 octobre 1989 aux États-Unis.
La chanson a été un véritable succès pour Phil Collins, le 23 décembre 1989, elle est devenue le 7e single à se placer en tête des charts aux États-Unis
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
