Song | No More Looking Back |
Artist | The Kinks |
Album | Schoolboys In Disgrace |
Walking along a crowded street | |
I see thousands of faces before me. | |
Then I see a face that I used to know | |
Long ago in my life story. | |
It starts me thinking about the things you said | |
For your image is still inside me. | |
The past is gone but in my head | |
You're still walking along beside me. | |
Is it something playing tricks with my eyes | |
Or just an illusion deceiving me, | |
Or is it someone in a disguise | |
Or visions of things that used to be? | |
But lately I've been going to | |
All the places that we once knew, | |
And just when I think that I am free of you | |
I keep seeing the things that remind me of you, | |
And just when I think you're out of my head | |
I hear a song that you sang or see a book that you read. | |
Then you're in every bar, you're in every cafŽ, | |
You're driving every car, I see you everyday, | |
But you're not really there ''cause you belong to yesterday. | |
No more looking back, | |
No more living in the past, | |
Yesterday's gone and that's a fact, | |
Now there's no more looking back. | |
Got to be hard, | |
Yeah, look straight ahead. | |
That s the only way it's going to be, | |
Yesterday's gone and that's a fact, | |
Now there's no more looking back, | |
Perhaps someday I'll stop needing you, | |
Then maybe one day I'll be free of you. | |
But lately I've been going to | |
All the places that remind me of you. | |
And just when I think you're out of my head | |
I hear a record you played or see a book that you read. | |
Then you're in every bar, you're in every cafŽ, | |
You're driving every car, I see you everyday | |
But you're not really there ''cause you belong to yesterday. | |
No more looking back, | |
No more living in the past. | |
Yesterday's gone, that's a fact, | |
Now there's no more looking back. | |
No more looking back. | |
No more living in the past. | |
Yesterday's gone, that's a fact. | |
Now there's no more looking back. |
Walking along a crowded street | |
I see thousands of faces before me. | |
Then I see a face that I used to know | |
Long ago in my life story. | |
