About Tomorrow Comes Today

"Tomorrow Comes Today" is a song from alternative rock virtual band Gorillaz's self-titled debut album Gorillaz and was their first release when issued as an EP in November 2000. The first three songs from the EP ended up on their debut album, however, "Latin Simone" was heavily edited, and dubbed into Spanish, for the album release. The new version was sung by Ibrahim Ferrer, and renamed "Latin Simone (¿Que Pasa Contigo?)". The original version is sung by 2D (voiced by Damon Albarn) and appears along with "12D3" on the later-released compilation album G Sides. The song itself was also the fourth and final single from that album, released on 25 February 2002. It peaked at number 33 on the UK Singles Chart. A demo version of the song, "I Got Law" was included as a bonus track of the Japanese edition of 13 by Blur, Damon Albarn's other musical project.

Everybody's here with me 
(We) got no camera to see 
Don't think I'm all in this world 
The camera won't let me roll
And the verdict doesn't love our soul 
The digital won't let me go 

Yeah yeah yeah 
I'll pay (yeah yeah yeah) 
When tomorrow 
Tomorrow comes today 

Stereo I want it on 
It's taken me far too long 
Don't think I'm all in this world 
I don't think I'll be here too long 
I don't think I'll be here too long 
I don't think I'll be here too long 

Yeah yeah yeah 
I'll pay 
When tomorrow 
Tomorrow comes today
