Tonight Today Lyrics - Singles - Dave Dee

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.
