Video hit Phil Collins

Phil Collins - Another Day In Paradise

This addresses the problem of ignoring the needy and homeless. It's a rare Phil Collins hit with a socially conscious message.
David Crosby of Crosby, Stills, and Nash, sings on this. Crosby worked with Collins on and off through the late '80s to early '90s; Collins performed background vocals for Crosby's 1993 song, "Hero," from the album Thousand Roads.
"Another Day in Paradise" is a song by Phil Collins released as the first single from his number-one album ...But Seriously (1989). As with his song for Genesis, Man on the Corner, Another Day in Paradise has as its subject the problem of homelessness; as such, the song was a substantial departure from the dance-pop music of his previous album, No Jacket Required (1985). The song was a number-one hit worldwide, and the most successful song of his solo career. It eventually won Collins and producer Hugh Padgham the Grammy Award for Record of the Year in 1991, while it was also nominated for Song of the Year, Best Pop Vocal Performance, Male and Best Music Video, Short Form. The song also won an award for Best British Single at the Brit Awards in 1990. In the US, it was the final number-one single of the 1980s on the Billboard Hot 100, and Collins' first and only number-one single of the 1990s.
This won a Grammy Award for Record Of The Year.
Collins told The Mail on Sunday: "I wrote this after being in Washington DC where I was amazed by how many people I saw living in boxes."
The song won the 1990 Brit Award for Best Single.
The 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
Just think about it, paradise, just think about it
Paradise, paradise, paradise
