A Long Long Long Time Ago |
| Yesterday arrived too quickly |
| Caught me right off guard |
| My defence 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, wanna see, wanne 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, wanna 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 |
| A long long time ago |
