Cover art for Tonite lyrics by Jarvis Cocker

Well, when Jarvis introduced this song live, he said, "This song is about how any night can be THE night. You know the one, when suddenly it seems like everybody's got the same script, and they're all reading their lines properly and you've got to relax a bit and let that happen. And I hope that for somebody within the confines of this establishment, tonight is that night. And it's, rather originally, called 'Tonite'." So I'd hate to second guess him. Anyway, I really love this song.
