TODAY HAS BEEN CANCELLED

Helen Shapiro - 1969



Due to the cloudy condition of my mind
And the tears fallin' like rain from my eyes
Due to the fact that we are apart
And the saddened disposition of my poor heart

Today has been cancelled, today is wiped out
Today is a day I'm certainly better doin' without
Today has been cancelled, throw it in the deep blue sea
Wipe it out, scratch it out, get it away from me

Based on the tragic destruction of my dreams
By your cold, horrible words of last night
I can't foresee no feeling but pain
For at least twenty-four hours in that vein

Today has been cancelled, today is wiped out
Today is a day I'm certainly better doin' without
Today has been cancelled, throw it in the deep blue sea
Wipe it out, scratch it out, get it away from me

I offer my apologies to the Sun
But I don't want to see another day begun
Without the you of old to see me through
Tomorrow and the next day may just be cancelled too

Knowin' the true kind of lover I have been
You can well understand my deep regrets
In finding out you are not sincere
And for all my true intent, now that you're not here

Today has been cancelled, today is wiped out
Today is a day I'm certainly better doin' without
Today has been cancelled, throw it in the deep blue sea
Wipe it out, scratch it out, get it away from me

Today has been cancelled, throw it in the deep blue sea
Wipe it out, scratch it out, get it away from me

Today has been cancelled, throw it in the deep blue sea
Wipe it out................FADE
