Both sides of the story


'Though we might hate to admit it, there are always two sides to every story...'

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

We always need to hear both sides of the story

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 mother and father fight
He says she's been unfaithful, she says her love for him has gone
And the brother shrugs to his sister and says "looks like it's just us from now on"

We always need to hear both sides of the story

We 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 we close our eyes
Don't walk away from here
'til you hear both sides
No no no nooooo

Here we are all gathered in what seems to be the centre of the storm
Neighbours once friendly now stand each side of the line that has been drawn
They've been fighting here for years, but now there's killing on the streets
While small coffins are lined up sadly, now united in defeat

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 we close our eyes
Don't walk away from here
'til you see both sides
No no no no no no

White man turns the corner, finds himself within a different world
Ghetto kid grabs his shoulder, throws him up against the wall
He says "would you respect me if I didn't have this gun
'cos without it, I don't get it, and that's why I carry one"

We always need to hear both sides of the story
Both sides of the story
Oh, both sides of the story
Yes, both sides of the story
Oh, both sides of the story
Both sides of the story
Both sides of the story
Both sides, both sides of the story
Both sides of the story
Both sides of the story, Yeah, yeah
Both sides of the story
Both sides, both sides of the story
Both sides of the story
Both sides of the story
Both sides of the story
Must hear both sides of the story

Biografia

Nato a Chiswick, quartiere sudoccidentale di Londra, scopre la sua "vocazione" musicale all'età di 5 anni quando gli zii gli regalano una batteria giocattolo in occasione del Natale; più tardi i genitori gli comprano batterie vere, sempre più complete. Non impara ancora la notazione musicale, ma continua a suonare accompagnando la radio o la televisione, sviluppando un metodo proprio[1]. A 12 anni fonda il suo primo complesso. A 14 anni entra nella Barbara Speake Stage School, dando inizio ad una carriera come attore e modello. Appare come comparsa per pochi secondi nel film sui Beatles Tutti per uno. Fa un provino anche per Romeo e Giulietta, ma senza successo. Nel 1970, Collins suona le percussioni nella canzone Art of Dying, contenuta nell'LP All Things Must Pass, di George Harrison[2]. Pur continuando con la carriera di attore, si capisce che è molto portato per la musica. Con il suo gruppo The Freehold scrive la sua prima canzone, "Lying Crying Dying". La sua prima incisione giunge con i Flaming Youth, per cui suona come batterista nell'album ARK 2 (1969). Il concept album si ispira al grande evento del periodo, quello dello sbarco americano sulla Luna, ma non ha un grande successo. Nonostante Melody Maker lo descriva come "migliore album pop del mese"[1], dopo un anno il gruppo si disgrega.
