Jarvis Cocker - Tonite lyrics

rate me

It all starts tonight

Tonight's the night I guess

So let's go take some drugs

And let's go have some sex

The first time it's alright

The future starts tonight

And you cannot make everything alright

But you could stop being wrong tonight

Tonight

Tonight

And someone's getting born

And someone's getting killed

Somebody falls in love

Somebody falls from a window-sill

But you, you just sit tight

Hiding out from life

And you cannot set the world to rights

But you could stop being wrong

Oh, tonight

Yeah, tonight

Oh, well the past devours the future

The world is changing shape

And someone's getting a piercing done

- For goodness sake!

Tonight

Tonight

Tonight

Yeah, tonight

All the culture vultures and all the snot-nosed kids

And all the so-called artists, wannabes and never-dids

You claim you're not involved but you're in up to your neck

The night belongs to lovers so show some respect

Oh, you cannot set the world to rights

But you could stop being wrong tonight

Tonight

Tonight

Oh, Tonight...
