"'This Is Tomorrow'" is a song by Bryan Ferry, the former lead vocalist for Roxy Music. It was released in 1977 as the first single from 'In Your Mind', his fourth solo album but the first consisting entirely of original songs. It was Ferry's tenth single. The single features the non-album track, "As The World Turns" as the B-side. The song peaked at number 9 in the UK Singles Chart, during its nine week run.
Background
