Sparks - In The Future Lyrics






It's winter, it's raining
You're tired, she's fainting
You're bitter, she's brooding
But don't be disenchanted
'Cause you can barely stand it

The sweep and the grandeur
The scope and the laughter
The future, the future
The future's got it covered
With what will be discovered

In the future fun is fun
In the future, lots of sun
I'll be there, it's up to you
You'll be there if you don't do nothing foolish

You'll love it, I know it
I know what you like and
You'll love it, I know it
We'll need some vintage vino
So wash your feet and stamp away

Coming soon and everywhere
Everyone will walk on air
Now it seems so far away
But each day it's getting closer and closer

Convenience and pleasure
All blended together
And culture, and madness
You think you've seen it all
You've seen it all except the future

  1. u.... ....

    For heaven's fucking sake!!!
    That's the perfect mix of Punk and Prog!!!

  2. M.... ....

    I know that "cocaine is a helluva drug" is overused here on You Tube, but I think this time it's totally appropriate for Russell. LOL.

  3. h.... ....

    Genius... simply perfect... listening to this on the 8 track was difficult with its program placement... it just made me listen more & more

  4. J.... B....

    Russelll has got ants in his pants here.

  5. J.... W....

    Convenience and pleasure all blended together, years before mobile phones and lap tops, they've always been ahead of their time. Coming soon and everywhere, everyone will walk on air, believe it, lol!

    This is my all time favourite Sparks song. For just over 2 minutes, it's so full of energy, totally bonkers, manic & dare I say it...yes, futuristic. I was 16 when 'Indiscreet' came out in '76, the 3rd album on Island records, & I still can't understand for the life of me why this wasn't a first single from that album. If they'd have released this instead of 'Get In the swing' & then 'Looks Looks, Looks' I think they would have definitely had a longer run of hits in the 70's. A real lost opportunity in my opinion. This so totally rocks. I would play it non stop, going crazy (without cocaine) dancing around the living room & had it blaring, (when the folks were out of course). Never seen this performance before though either even if it is mimed. A great memory, Best band ever!!

  7. R.... D....

    Also, reading all the drug jokes in this comment section makes me feel alive. Keep it up lads

  12. M.... P....

    These electric moves by Russell are so much better than his New Wave dance in the 80's

    M.... P....

    Electric Mick Jagger

  13. R.... D....

  14. M.... ....

    omg, Russell is soooooo hyper, wow

  15. N.... ....

    I was there for that taping. There were less than 20 people in the audience.

    N.... ....

    N.... ....

    So I take it that the applause is dubbed in.

  16. P.... S....

    Russell. Less coke. 

  17. m.... ....

  18. 8.... ....

    Drugs were really good back then

    8.... ....

    Or just a well lived ADHD? 🤔
    A little bit like Ty Pennington, Extreme Makeover:Home Edition.
    People can be crazy by nature, mustn't be drugs.

  19. S.... M....

    Wow, this is epic! Really sad about the text over it but fortunately you can't really suppress Sparks ;)

  20. J.... P....

  22. J.... B....

    I love this track, I would love some one to post LOOKS LOOKS LOOKS as featured on BBC Top of the POPS 1975 or Sparks on TIswas 1975/6
    It's out there somewhere?

  23. C.... ....
