Tomorrow's Dance
'Tomorrow's Dance' is an early live-only song, assumed to have been written by Vince Clarke. The song's working title was "The Dance". 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 Bridge House, London, England, UK (which happens to be the earliest genuine Depeche Mode recording currently in circulation). Tomorrow's Dance is mentioned by Daryl Bamonte in BONG magazine issue 24 on pages 16 and 18:
Lyrics
Tomorrow's Dance
Saturday night, you look so chic
Been waiting for this moment, been waiting all week
The club 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, get stoned 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 last
The music is loud, and much too fast
You gotta get out, you wanna stay
You gotta hang out to 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
Songwriter: Vince Clarke (?)
