Lyrics
Yesterday
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Yesterday you were the daddy
Yeah, you were steaming
You had it all
then you realised
you were only dreaming
Now you're washing up last night's coffee cups
Yeah, you get cleaning
'Cos yesterday's not today
So it has no meaning
Yesterday you were the dog's...
But then you blew it
You set your sights on the best of all
And you got it
But you never knew it
Now you don't feel wronged or noble at all
Just very stupid
Yeah, yesterday's not today
Yesterday is over
Oh yeah, yesterday is so far away
Cannot hurt you
Yeah, yesterday's gone
so yesterday can't hurt you
Yeah, yesterday's gone
so yesterday can't hurt you
Nothing to live up to
You've no-one to pay
Yeah, yesterday's gone
so yesterday can't hurt you
Look out of your window
it's a beautiful day
Yeah, yesterday's gone
so yesterday can't hurt you
