Tomorrow's Dance

This song is assumed to have been written by Vince. It is unknown why it does not appear on "Speak & Spell" or as a B-side. It was only performed during the 1980 Tour, and only one relatively poor audience recording of this song exists from 1980-10-30 Bridgehouse, London, England, UK (which happens to be the earliest circulating genuine recording of Depeche Mode). The entire track, as well as lyrics transcribed to the best of our ability, are below.

Lyrics

Saturday night, you look so chic
Been waiting for this moment, been waiting all week
The pub is crowded, much too hot
The boys they're dancing, they just can't stop

Tomorrow's dance
Tomorrow's dance
You dance your dance
You dance your chance
Tomorrow's dance
Tomorrow's dance
You dance tonight and you dance it right

Ice cold drinks, gets on tonight
We're gonna get happy, the occasion is right
You start to move, you take the floor
The music is better than ever before

Tomorrow's dance
Tomorrow's dance
You dance your dance
You dance your chance
Tomorrow's dance
Tomorrow's dance
You dance tonight and you dance it right

Three a.m., I just can't laugh
The music is loud, and much too fast
You cannot get out, you wanna stay
You gotta hang out another dancing day

Tomorrow's dance
Tomorrow's dance
You dance your dance
You dance your chance
Tomorrow's dance
Tomorrow's dance
You dance tonight and you dance it right
