Phil Collins Both Sides Of The Story Lyrics

Find yourself in a gutter, in a lonely part of town
Where death waits in the darkness, with a weapon, to cut some strangers down.
Sleeping with an empty bottle, he's a sad and empty hearted man.
All he need is a job, a little respect, so he can get out while he can.

Ohh! We always need to hear both sides of the story.

A neighbourhood peace is shattered, it's the middle of the night.
Young faces hide in the shadows, while they watch their father and mother fight.
He says she's been unfaithful, she says her love for him has gone.
The brother shruggus to his sister and says "looks like it's just us from now on"

Ohh! We always need to hear both sides of the story.

And the lights are all on, the world is watching now
People looking for truth, we must not fail them now
Be sure before you close your eyes
Don't walk away from here till you see both sides
