This Is Tomorrow

Here in the hush of evenin'
On a night in June
Overhearin' conversations
Bayin' at the moon
Suddenly a voice I'm hearin's
Sweet to my ear
This is tomorrow's callin'
Wishin` you were here

Layin' in my hotel bedroom
Feelin' ceilin' blues
Wall to wall a TV's twitchin'
Clearly not a muse
Then flashin' through the interference
Beams a thousand tunes
This is tomorrow callin'
What have I to lose?

Truckin' by the railway station
I'm on the road again
Steerin' clear of all termination
Unto the point of pain
When steamin' thru on cue
I hear that wailin' whistle blow
If this is tomorrow callin'
Oh what a way to go!

Day to day you live old fashioned
Hi-toned, fancy free
A double take, an image-spittin'
Tailored to a T
While history is tellin' you
The same old thing
This is tomorrow callin'
Let's stick a new oar in
This is tomorrow callin'
Y'all 'n
Come on in

This Island Earth

So I send an SOS
Semaphore myself
Catch me falling finally
Through the air and underground
Everywhere this sound
Screams whisper "I can´t breathe"
I feel it in my bones
Though I know I´m not alone
You´re spinning far too far from me
So cruel to be so kind
Now I know I´ll always find
This island earth
A mystery
As I stumble through the dark
Dream lovers dream apart
Starry eyed a vision rushes in
Do I wonder or care
My spirit's bleeding God knows where
A never ending stream
I tried to love, tried to find
My soul in shadows running blind
And restless as the sea
Via sidewalks through the haze
Wandering as in a maze
Lost in number time and space
So near and yet so far
Castaway as strangers are
This island earth
And you and me

This Love

This love
This love is a strange love
In that it can lift a love
This love
This love
I think I'm gonna fall again
And even when you held my hand
Intending me to face, love
This love
Now rehearsed we stay, love
Doesn't know it is love
This love
This love
Doesn't have to feel love
Doesn't care to be love
It doesn't mean a thing
This love
This love loves love
It's a strange love, strange love
This love
This love
This love is a strange love, strange love
I'm gonna fall again love
Doesn't mean a thing
Think I'm gonna fall again
This Love

Time on My Hands

Time on my hands, you in my arms
Nothing but love in view
Then if you fall, once and for all
I'll see my dreams come true
Moments to spare
With someone you care to
One love affair for two
And so with time on my hands
And you in my arms
And love in my heart all for you

Tokyo Joe

My girl Friday she no square
She like lotus blossom in her hair
Be-bop records and something new
Sometimes borrowed but she's never blue
Oh no........not Tokyo Joe
Way past midnight - she not home
She cut the ice down the Danger Zone
Water-tight dresses - she don't care
A trifle risqué, a tart, no sir........
Oh no........sounds like Tokyo Joe
Geisha girl show you she adore you
Two oriental eyes implore you
Femme fatale or ingenue?
She very cunning, fiendish clever
Geisha girl suffer many times a fool
Sayonara moon
When all the world's a stage, oh where are you?
Tokyo Rose on the radio
Or Diz 'n Bird puttin' on the moan
Tappin' out telexes to Tupelo
Dear John, doh ray me fah so?
Let's go........call for Tokyo Joe
Walkin' tall down the Danger Zone
She hokey-cokey till the cows come home
Big shot - from the hip - neon cool
Say, when you've been around, what's left to do?
Don't know? Ask Tokyo Joe
So inscrutable her reply
"Ask no question and tell me no lie"
GI boys howlin' out for more
VIP'S purrin' "je t'adore"........
Ah so........that's Tokyo Joe

Valentine


Tell me something I must know
The burning question why
Half a man is twice as much
When he's on the line
Happiness - hard to get
Valentine in hand
None of them will ever guess
But you understand
How many men in a world of their own
There is no end to great unknown
Tell me something I must know
I´m outside looking in
Train of mirrors none so fair
Let the show begin
How many men in a world of their own
There is no end to great unknown

What Goes On

What goes on
What goes on in your mind?
I think that I am falling down.
What goes on in your mind?
I think that I am upside down.
Lady, be good, do what you should, you know it will work alright.
Lady, be good, do what you should, you know it will be alright.
I'm going up, and I'm going down.
I'm going from side to side.
See the bells, up in the sky,
Somebody's cut their string in two.
Lady, be good, do what you should, you know it will work alright.
Lady, be good, do what you should, you know it will be alright.
One minute born, one minute doomed,
One minute up, one minute down.
What goes on in your mind?
I think that I am falling down.
Lady, be good, do what you should, you know it will work alright.
Lady, be good, do what you should, you know it will be alright.
How does it feel to be loved?
How does it feel to be loved?

When She Walks in the Room

When she walks in the room
Then you know
Why your date says it's late
Time to go
And you know you can't leave
You must stay
'Til her laughter has drifted away
So you talk to the walls
Always know
Cause they've seen it all
And heard it all before
And your fair weather friends
Fail to speak
They're so afraid still waters run deep
And they don't understand
Or perceive
That you can't see the woods for the trees
Christmas trees you were sure
Weren't the sort
To build up your hopes
Then sell you short
Yeah to build you up
And sell you short....
All your life you were taught to believe
Then a moment of truth - you're deceived
all the wine in your life's all dried up
now is not the time to give up?
Like the soft paper cup that you squeeze
So you take this and that and then some more
And you make your way through the door
You make up your way through the door....

When Somebody Thinks You're Wonderful

When somebody thinks you're wonderful
What a difference in your day
Seems as though your troubles disappear
Like a feather in your way
When somebody thinks you're wonderful
Tells you with a smile so sweet
What are little stones you step upon
Just a meadow 'neath your feet
And how you meet the morning
And gaily swing along
At night you may be weary
But your heart still sings a song
When somebody thinks you're wonderful
Love is mighty close to you
Just another thing more wonderful
Making all her dreams come true

Where or When


It seems we stood and talked like this, before
We looked at each other in the same way then
But I can't remember where or when
The clothes you're wearing are the clothes you wore
The smile you are smiling you were smiling then
But I can't remember where or when
Some things that happened for the first time
Seem to be happening again
And so it seems that we have met before
And laughed before, and loved before
But who knows where or when

Some things that happened for the first time
Seem to be happening again
And so it seems that we have met before
And laughed before, and loved before
But who knows where or when
