Dave Dee - Tonight Today lyrics
rate meEverything flows in an endless stream<br />
And if we close our eyes<br />
Like a vision or a dream<br />
<br />
We'll see this world in it's myriade ways:<br />
Everything flows and every single minute<br />
Brings a change to the earth and to everybody in it -<br />
Watch a million lives playing out their days.<br />
<br />
People at this very time<br />
Are making many things-that's<br />
That's so:<br />
But fools are in command.<br />
<br />
In the desert rockets point<br />
Towards the stars: in sleazy bars<br />
Someone's getting drunk and ugly:<br />
On the city sidewalks hustlers<br />
Pick their prey: far away.<br />
Bodies bake on surfing beaches.<br />
<br />
Tonight<br />
Today<br />
Feel it all going<br />
On-all this moment's different strands of life:<br />
Tonight<br />
Today<br />
We're a part of it all<br />
<br />
Though we're on our own and making love.<br />
<br />
Everything flows - Nixon's called a meeting:<br />
There's a massive demonstration<br />
And some kids are getting beaten up<br />
In time to make tomorrow's first editions:<br />
Yeah<br />
There's striptease shows<br />
<br />
While at Buckingham Palace<br />
They're working out the seating plans for Jackie and Onassis<br />
And in Kalamazoo there's two boys fishing.<br />
<br />
People at this very time<br />
Are making many things-that's<br />
That's so:<br />
Speeches and sailing-boats and scenes<br />
<br />
While kids in faded jeans<br />
Sit cross-legged in the park:<br />
<br />
In a Roman night-club Carlo<br />
Stuffs his mouth<br />
Further south<br />
Dino dines on left-out garbage:<br />
In a jungle hospital<br />
A mother sighs<br />
Baby cries<br />
New arrival in the life-stream.
