Lyrics

[00:06.48] It was the day before the day before yesterday
[00:11.04] When we thought everything would now go our way
[00:16.47] We inherited a fortune of innocence
[00:21.60] And they took it all away
[00:25.67] We travel on the last bus from sanity
[00:30.66] Through province town to cities of obscurity
[00:35.66] And somewhere down the road it occurs to me
[00:41.68] That I might have missed my stop
[00:45.56] But I will not return to yesterday
[00:51.45] Or smooth out the human clay
[00:56.72] We'll face this new England like we always have
[01:01.31] In a fury of denial
[01:03.62] We'll go out dancing on the tiles
[01:06.18] Help me down, but don't take me back
[01:14.87] I heard a lover calling to Saint Anthony
[01:20.05] Sadly treating love like her property
[01:25.37] Only battles can be lost and so it seems we do
[01:29.12] But I'm hoping for a change
[01:34.49] I left you at the bus stop in working town
[01:38.93] Now the service has been cut re-named slumber down
[01:43.55] I can see you on the bars of your brother's bicycle
[01:48.50] Now I hope you're not alone
[01:53.18] But I will not return to yesterday
[01:59.62] Or smooth out the human clay
[02:04.18] We'll face this new England like we always have
[02:10.93] In a fury of denial
[02:12.12] We'll go out dancing on the tiles
[02:14.51] Help me down, but don't take me back
[02:22.83] And all the politician creeps
[02:25.01] I know they want them back
[02:27.39] And the couturier weeps
[02:29.27] She knows they won't come back
[02:32.38] And the lovers who seldom speak
[02:34.57] I know they want them back
[02:37.33] And me falling back into your half term kisses
[02:40.32] No I will not
[02:43.64] Return to yesterday
[02:48.20] Or smooth out the human clay
[02:53.26] We'll face this new England like we always have
[02:58.89] In a fury of denial
[03:01.14] We'll go out dancing on the tiles
[03:03.51] Help me down, but don't take me back
[03:08.02] Return to yesterday
[03:13.15] Or smooth out the human clay
[03:17.97] We'll face this new England like we always have
[03:23.03] In a fury of denial
[03:25.41] We'll go out dancing on the tiles
[03:28.35] Help me down, but don't take me back
[03:32.40] Return to yesterday
[03:36.90] Or smooth out the human clay
