Tonight Today — текст песни (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.
