Dave Dee Tonight Today Lyrics

Tonight Today Lyrics

Everything flows in an endless stream
and if we close our eyes
like a
vision or a dream

we'll see this world in its myriade ways:
Everything flows and every single minute
brings a change to the earth
and to everybody in it -
watch a million lives playing out their days.

People at this very time
are making many things-that's
that's
so:
But fools are in command.

In the desert rockets point
towards the stars: in sleazy bars
someone's getting drunk and ugly:
On the city sidewalks hustlers
pick their prey: far away.
Bodies
bake on surfing beaches.

Tonight
today
feel it all
going
on-all this moment's different strands of life:
Tonight
today
we're a part of it all

though we're on our own and
making love.

Everything flows - Nixon's called a meeting:
There's a massive demonstration
and some kids are getting beaten up
in time to make tomorrow's first editions:
Yeah
there's striptease
shows

while at Buckingham Palace
they're working out the
seating plans for Jackie and Onassis
and in Kalamazoo there's two boys
fishing.

People at this very time
are making many
things-that's
that's so:
Speeches and sailing-boats and scenes

while kids in faded jeans
sit cross-legged in the park:

In a Roman night-club Carlo
stuffs his mouth
further south
Dino dines on left-out garbage:
In a jungle hospital
a mother
sighs
baby cries
new arrival in the life-stream.
