Tonight

Tonight is the b-side of the 1991 James single Sit Down. It also appears on the 2001 B-Sides Ultra compilation.

It was first aired at the Blackpool shows in August 1990 under the guise of “It’s That One That I Know” and Tim mooted it as a potential single.

In the NME review of Sit Down, the song was compared favourably to The Doors.

Tonight
I had this dream but my vision was cracked
Drifting away you said you're not coming back
You're moving out while I'm flat on my back
What are you doing to me
You're making me happy
I was always sad
Whenever I'm happy my dreams are sad

Make me happy tonight
Make me happy tonight
Make me happy tonight
Make me happy tonight

We must go on now there's no turning back
Kiss my defences with one of those counter attacks
I'm exposed, shown you too much
Now you're invading my dreams

Making me happy
I was always sad
Afraid to be happy, that's so sad

Make me happy tonight
Make me happy tonight
Make me happy tonight
Make me happy tonight

Something's burning in my kitchen
Stop that smiling, something's smoking
Soon be crying, soon be broken
Fire, fire, fire

Make me happy tonight
Make me happy tonight
Make me happy tonight
Make me happy tonight
Make me happy tonight
Make me happy tonight
Make me happy tonight
Make me happy tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight
