Tonight Today - Lyrics by Dave Dee


Lyrics
Everything flows in an endless streamand if we close our eyeslike a vision or a dreamwe'll see this world in its myriade ways:
Everything flows and every single minutebrings a change to the earth and to everybody in it -watch a million lives playing out their days.
People at this very timeare making many things-that'sthat's so:
But fools are in command.
In the desert rockets pointtowards the stars: in sleazy barssomeone's getting drunk and ugly:
On the city sidewalks hustlerspick their prey: far away.
Bodies bake on surfing beaches.
Tonighttodayfeel it all goingon-all this moment's different strands of life:
Tonighttodaywe're a part of it allthough we're on our own and making love.
Everything flows - Nixon's called a meeting:
There's a massive demonstrationand some kids are getting beaten upin time to make tomorrow's first editions:
Yeahthere's striptease showswhile at Buckingham Palacethey're working out the seating plans for Jackie and Onassisand in Kalamazoo there's two boys fishing.
People at this very timeare making many things-that'sthat's so:
Speeches and sailing-boats and sceneswhile kids in faded jeanssit cross-legged in the park:
In a Roman night-club Carlostuffs his mouthfurther south
Dino dines on left-out garbage:
In a jungle hospitala mother sighsbaby criesnew arrival in the life-stream.
