The Proclaimers
Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Yesterday arrived too quickly Caught me right off guard My defense moved in too slowly Missed it by a yard I'd just settled down With a bottle of gin So I moved on to whiskey And it hit me again Memories were raining punches Down on my head Knocked me into the past so quickly They almost raised the dead So I drank some more booze And it helped me to sleep Where I dreamed of my youth And the secrets I keep Oh history is a friend of mine She comes over to my place And we have a good time But the memories She sometimes brings with her Get out of line They're out of line Show me things I don't want to see (Wanna see, want to see, wanna see) Remind me of who I thought I was gonna be (Ganna be, gonna be, gonna be) Take me places I used to go (Used to go, used to go) A long long time ago When I woke I remembered nothing Suppose that's just as well And although my head was aching I could hear a bell So I put on some clothes And I reached my front door When I pulled it wide open She joined me once more Oh history is a friend of mine She comes over to my place And we have a good time But the memories She sometimes brings with her Get out of line They're out of line Show me things I don't want to see (Wanna see, want to see, want to see) Remind me of who I thought I was gonna be (Ganna be, gonna be, gonna be) Take me places I used to go (Used to go, used to go) A long long time ago A long long time ago
