| Comments: | I've always liked this track ... it was a fun song to write, and I particularly like Bryan's rhythm guitar work. While we were writing "Tonight" Bryan discovered an interesting sequence of minor and major chords, with open E and B strings ringing in common over the chord movement. I think it's quite a haunting sound (we used similar chord voicings several years later when we wrote "When The Night Comes" for Joe Cocker). In 1982, former Eagles bassist Randy Meisner recorded a rather uninspired version of "Tonight", and the song was also covered by ex-Stories singer Ian Lloyd in 1984. |

| Lyrics: | Who you gonna run to Now your ass is on the line Who you think you're foolin' We ain't got the time Don't try to tell me Who was wrong or right We don't see eye to eye There's no point in tryin' to change it at all Tonight, tonight let's leave it alone Leave it alone tonight We can't change it at all Forget the things I told you Let's just sleep on it for now It's your misunderstandin' I don't want to hear you out Two wrongs baby, they don't make a right It's hardly worth the heartache So let's leave it alone, leave it alone Tonight, tonight let's leave it alone Leave it alone tonight We can't change it at all |
