Here Today Gone Tomorrow was the Irish entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1982, performed in English by The Duskeys.
The song is an up-tempo number in which both male and female singers castigate their lovers for being unfaithful (in the case of the first verse, the gender is unclear, however it is impliedto be female). The lover is told "Baby, love me all of the time/Or I don't really wanna know".
The song was performed seventeenth on the night (following the Netherlands' Bill van Dijk with Jij En Ik and preceding Germany's Nicole with Ein Bißchen Frieden). At the close of voting, it had received 49 points, placing 11th in a field of 18.
Ireland opted out of the 1983 Contest, but returned to the fold in the next year. Thus, the song was succeeded as Irish representative at the 1984 Contest by Linda Martin with Terminal 3.
