Madness feat. Elvis Costello – Tomorrow’s Just Another Day
Tomorrow’s Just Another Day 12″ limited edition,
Stiff Records 6.20 188, 1983
Wenn man Ende der 70er, Anfang der 80er eine Platte von Madness kaufte, erwartete man Ska, Fun, gute Stimmung, tanzbare Musik. Auf einer Maxi vielleicht noch einen zusätzlichen Remix oder eine längere Version der Single A-Seite.
Und dann das. Herzzerreißende Lead-Vocals von Elvis Costello in einem tieftraurigen Lied. Sax, Bläser, Marimba(?). Einfach großartig. „It’s down and down there is no up”
Trying hard, I thought I’d done my best
All my life, I can’t get no rest
Some who’ve closed the door before
Say I can’t carry on no more.
I hear them saying
Tomorrow’s just another day
I hear them saying
And it gets better every day
I hear them saying
Tomorrow’s just another day
Listened long, tried to take it in
All these facts leave me in the swim
It’s down and down there is no up
I think that I’ve run out of luck.
I hear them saying
Tomorrow’s just another day
I hear them saying
And it gets better every day
I hear them saying
Tomorrow’s just another day
Tomorrow’s just another… day
Walking now, over covered ground
There is a chance if I move around
I need a moment to reflect
On the friendships I have wrecked.
Why is it I, don’t I always try ?
I hear them say
Tomorrow’s just another day
I hear them say
And it gets better every day
I hear them say
Tomorrow’s just another day
I hear them say
And it gets better every day
I heard them say
Tomorrow’s just another day
I hear them say
Tomorrow’s just another day
Tomorrow’s just another…
I hear them saying
Tomorrow’s just another day
I hear them saying
And it gets better every day
I hear them saying
Tomorrow’s just another day
