Phil Colins' Handwritten and Signed Lyrics - Another Day in Paradise

Phil Collins is best known as a drummer and vocalist for British group Genesis.  People are more familiar with "Another Day in Paradise" from his number-one album But Seriously (1989) which won a Grammy Award for Record of the Year in 1991.  This song also won the Best Best Single at the 1990 Brit Awards.

In "Another Day in Paradise" lyrics clearly highlights the problem of ignoring the needy and homeless.  Collins told The Mail on Sunday that, "I wrote this after being in Washington DC where I was amazed by how many people I saw living in boxes."  It's still sadden me that the problem is still not resolved world wide as there are still plenty of homeless people and freezing in the cold.



Below is an A4 sheet of handwritten lyrics to Another Day in Paradise by dated 25/7/96 with his signature at the top right corner.


Handwritten and signed lyrics by artist are considered rare and extremely popular with collectors.  The sheet of lyrics is framed with a photograph of Phil Collins to a total size of 22.5" x 18.5".

The lyrics are currently offered for sale at £6,000 by Paul Fraser Collectibles, a company specializing in unique and historic pieces of memorabilia.
