Yesterday's Not Here - Pete Shelley

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
