Pete Shelley Yesterday's Not Here
Looking back on life is such a retrospective thing Hoping for some nice advice that only you could bring But you came as in a storm when the woolly dreams were shorn off my back Suffer cold reality's sting All my life that I remember was a drag Even though it wasn't so good it was all that I'd had Now I've seen it slip away and tomorrow's just another day To find relief from feeling sad Yesterday's not here no more It's gone for good and I'm glad 'cos it made me sore All the things that might have been Are seen by me as regrets that my memory stores All my life that I remember was a drag Even though it wasn't so good it was all that I'd had Now I've seen it slip away and tomorrow's just another day To find relief from feeling sad Yesterday's not here no more It's gone for good and I'm glad 'cos it made me sore All the things that might have been Are seen by me as regrets that my memory stores But from all my time the things I have seen Have I seen you or have I been A mirror of what you wanted to be Just almost like you were to me To me, to me, to me Yesterday's not here no more It's gone for good and I'm glad 'cos it made me sore All the things that might have been Are seen by me as regrets that my memory stores Yesterday's not here no more Oh yesterday's not here no more Oh yesterday's not here no more Oh yesterday's not here no more Oh yesterday's not here no more
