Phil Collins: Another Day In Paradise

Comenzó tocando la batería en el grupo Génesis, y acabó liderando la banda y asumiendo tambien el papel de cantante tras la marcha de Peter Gabriel.
Nos estamos refiriendo a Phil Collins, cuya singladura en solitario la empezó en los ochenta, su época dorada donde consiguió varios éxitos, entre ellos una adorable canción -"Easy Lover"- a dúo con el vocalista de Earth Wing & Fire, Philip Bailey. Tambien de esa época es este otro hit, "Another Day In Paradise", donde quedaba plasmada la penuria de las personas sin hogar. Una dura realidad en nuestras ciudades y más en periodos tan frios como los invernales.


Letra
She calls out to the man on the street
sir, can you help me?
Its cold and Ive nowhere to sleep,
Is there somewhere you can tell me?

He walks on, doesnt look back
He pretends he cant hear her
Starts to whistle as he crosses the street
Seems embarrassed to be there

Oh think twice, its another day for
You and me in paradise
Oh think twice, its just another day for you,
You and me in paradise

She calls out to the man on the street
He can see shes been crying
Shes got blisters on the soles of her feet
Cant walk but shes trying

Oh think twice...

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 shes been there
Probably been moved on from every place
cos she didnt fit in there

Oh think twice...
