Tomorrow

"Tomorrow's Gonna be another day"

By Tommy Boyce and Steve Venet

I'm gonna pack up all my pain,
I been a keepin' in my heart,
I'm gonna catch me the fastest train
And make me a brand new start
But that's okay,
Tomorrow's gonna be another day,
Hey, hey, hey.
And I don't care what they say
Tomorrow's gonna be, tomorrow's gonna be,
Tomorrow's gonna be another day.
hey, hey, hey,
hey, hey, hey.

They say there's a lotta fish,
Swimmin' in the deep blue sea,
I'm gonna catch me a pretty one
And she'll be good to me.
But that's okay,
Tomorrow's gonna be another day,
Hey, hey, hey.
And I don't care what they say
Tomorrow's gonna be, tomorrow's gonna be,
Tomorrow's gonna be another day.
Yay, yay, yay,
Yay, yay, yay.

Well, I ain't gonna think about ya,
'Cause it ain't no use no more,
I'm gonna make it fine without ya,
Just like I did before,
I'm on my way.
Tomorrow's gonna be another day,
Hey, hey, hey.
And I don't care what they say
Tomorrow's gonna be, tomorrow's gonna be,
Tomorrow's gonna be another day.
Yay, yay, yay,
Yay, yay, yay.

This is one of my favorite Monkees songs, partly because there's really cool Guitar and Harmonica Parts, the other reasons I like it are elusive to dictation.

I can't really say that the first verse is the best example of what to do. I've certainly tried packing up the pain (I haven't caught any trains for the purpose of getting away from pain, though, perhaps in the metaphorical sense I have) and that goes nowhere pleasant. Taking pain to Jesus is far better, but by no means an instant cure, wounds to our hearts take a long time to heal, but Jesus is the best Spiritual Cardiologist.

Second verse. Personally, I don't think that fishing is quite the best analogy for this subject, Because you don't know what's in the ocean. You cast your line and wait to see what bites - and whatever you catch that doesn't appeal you throw back. I think that perhaps speargun fishing would be a better analogy, you choose and pursue your quarry - and at the right moment, BAM! a hungry grey nurse Shark bites your nose off!

The third verse. I think I like this one. This is how I've approached many hurts, the results have been Good, bad, ugly and very ugly. When someone hurts you deeply, "Just like I did before" is just wishful thinking. You need to find a new way.

Oh well,
Maybe I'll share anothor of my Fav songs later.

Slàn!
