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)

(You've no one to pay)

Yeah, yesterday's gone

So yesterday can't hurt ya

(Look out of your window)

(It's a beautiful day)

Yeah, yesterday's gone

So yesterday can't hurt ya

Pulp show their class with an encore that's more than deserved in London's Finsbury Park

There’s simply no escaping the nostalgia of Pulp’s second reunion tour. Their original run as a band saw the Jarvis Cocker-led group struggle for recognition for over a decade before 1992’s ‘His N Hers’ tapped into the bubbling Britpop scene that was sweeping the country, eventually turning the Sheffield mob into superstars. A string of other giddy successes followed before Pulp rebelled with 1998’s earnest, eerie ‘This Is Hardcore’. They went on to break up shortly after the turn of the millennium. A brief reunion tour featuring a headline set at Reading & Leeds Festivals alongside a surprise Glastonbury performance followed in 2011, allowing the group to reclaim their legacy as one of that era’s greatest groups before they disbanded once again.
