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
