Lyrics

Yesterday you were the daddy
Yeah, you were steaming
You had it all
then you realised
you were only dreaming

Now you're washing up last night's coffee cups
Yeah, you get cleaning
'Cos yesterday's not today
So it has no meaning

Yesterday you were the dog's...
But then you blew it
You set your sights on the best of all
And you got it
But you never knew it

Now you don't feel wronged or noble at all
Just very stupid

Yeah, yesterday's not today
Yesterday is over
Oh yeah, yesterday is so far away
Cannot hurt you

Yeah, yesterday's gone
so yesterday can't hurt you

Yeah, yesterday's gone
so yesterday can't hurt you

Nothing to live up to
You've no-one to pay

Yeah, yesterday's gone
so yesterday can't hurt you

Look out of your window
it's a beautiful day

Yeah, yesterday's gone
so yesterday can't hurt you
