There's No Tomorrow Like Today - The Boomtown Rats

You keep saying diamond rings don’t do it for you

Because some rocks on those knuckles

That are bigger than an Oppenheim mine

But see it’s late in the P.M.

You’d better carpe that diem

You’re way outta time

You’re way outta line

Baby seize that day, yeah yeah yeah yeah

See, I don’t want to break ya when I shake ya

I’m just trying to wake you up, girl

They might put me on a charge

But I’d get off for justifiable cause

'Cause no jury would convict me

Saying, «Yeah, he’s strictly guilty

Unanimously he’s gonna walk free

'Cause we all can say, yeah yeah yeah»

That there’s no tomorrow quite like today

Now, there’s no tomorrow quite like today

Now, there’s no tomorrow, beg steal or borrow

You read in your tea leaves, your I Ching and Tarot

They came to say

There’s no tomorrow like today

Yeah, sometimes lately

It feels that it’s a Shakespeare play that we’re in

If he had to do a re-write

You’d be Hamlet in skirts

Oh, my little procrastinator

You delayer and prevaricator

I prognosticate

I ain’t gonna wait

Or hang any longer

When there’s no tomorrow quite like today

(No tomorrow like today)

There’s no tomorrow quite like today

Now, there’s no tomorrow, beg steal or borrow

You read in your tea leaves, your I Ching and Tarot

They all agree

There’s no tomorrow like today

There’s a whole world waiting out there for us, babe

I don’t know what we’re meant to do

But I’ve got a hunch or clue

It involves me and you

You need to take the longer view

Tomorrow quite like today

(No tomorrow like today)

Tomorrow quite like today

(No tomorrow)

Now, there’s no tomorrow, beg steal or borrow

You throw in the dice and the I Ching and Tarot

What if they say

There’s no tomorrow like today

There’s no tomorrow like today

There’s no tomorrow like today

There’s no tomorrow like today

There’s no tomorrow like today

Today
