Return To Yesterday |
| It was the day before the day before yesterday |
| When we thought everything would now go our way |
| We inherited a fortune of innocence |
| And they took it all away |
| We travel on the last bus from sanity |
| Through province town to cities of obscurity |
| And some way down the road it occurs to me That I might have missed my stop |
| But I will not return to yesterday |
| Or smooth out the human clay |
| We’ll face this new England like we always have |
| In a fury of denial |
| We’ll go out dancing on the tiles |
| Help me down, but don’t take me back |
| I heard a lover calling to Saint Anthony |
| Sadly treating love like her property |
| Only battles can be lost and so it seems we do But I’m hoping for a change |
| I left you at the bus stop in working town |
| Now the service has been cut, re-named slumberdown |
| I can see you on the bars of your brother’s bicycle |
| Now I hope you’re not alone |
| But I will not return to yesterday |
| Or smooth out the human clay |
| We’ll face this new England like we always have |
| In a fury of denial |
| We’ll go out dancing on the tiles |
| Help me down, but don’t take me back |
| And all the politician creeps |
| I know they want them back |
| And the couturier weeps |
| She knows they won’t come back |
| And the lovers who seldom speak |
| I know they want them back |
| And me falling back into your half term kisses |
| No, I will not return to yesterday |
| Or smooth out the human clay |
| We’ll face this new England like we always have |
| In a fury of denial |
| We’ll go out dancing on the tiles |
| Help me down, but don’t take me back |
