Tonight Reprise Lyrics

And the embers never fade in my city by the lake
The place where i was born
As the wind-up toys wind down
Muffling the sound of a life hidden underground
Believe, believe in me, believe
That you can change, that you're not stuck in vain
We're not the same we're different tonite
We'll crucify the insincere tonite
We'll make things right and we'll feel it all tonite
The impossible is possible tonite
Believe in me like i believe in you tonite

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

The only album I've ever seen this one was a vinyl my friend had. Where else can I find this oh so delicious version?

You could surely find it on a file-sharing network. The vinyl album also had the song "Infinite Sadness."

This is a hard song to find on file sharing networks, but look hard. It's well worth it. I searched for several months..

This song is also a B-side on CD2 of the UK production of the Tonight Tonight single(s). Probably not much help if you're not from round this way but worth getting your hands on if you can.

This song is absolutely beautiful. I'm lucky enough to own both the box set + cd1 & cd2 of the cd single (us & uk versions?), so I've had it for quite a while now :)

As I said, the song's absolutely beautiful. It's the last track on both cds that its on, and serves very well to end off a song with some amazing b-sides.
