Yesterday

From We Love Life2002

Written by Candida Doyle, Jarvis Cocker

Lyrics

Yesterday

[Verse 1]

Yesterday you were the daddy

Yeah, you were steaming

You had it all, then you realized

You were only dreaming

Now you're washing up last night's coffee cups

Yeah, you get cleaning

'Cause yesterday's not today

So it has no meaning

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

Yeah, yesterday's gone

So yesterday can't hurt ya

Yeah, yesterday's gone

So yesterday can't hurt ya

(Nothing to live up to)
