lyrics

I got Dylan on the stereo,
One foot in the past,
Your number on a cellular phone,

Barbra Vidal has been taking your picture again,
I just don’t know if I’ve the strength not to look,

Ain’t nostalgic,
I don’t want romance,
But if your in my head 7/24,

I need to talk to you,
But I don’t want to ask,
I just don’t want to be yesterday’s fool,
I just don’t want to be yesterday’s fool,


You shook my head up and you parted my soul,
Like the wind that blows the rose,
And the mystery of it all,

In the time before there was this broken chance,
In different circumstances,
In a different world,

As far as I can see, there are two sides to everything,
And you and me are just like that,
And you can’t go back to where you used to be.


Everything’s for sale and everything’s gone,
Everything is gonna be banned,
I don’t want to hear the news about the world on my door,
I couldn’t change it if I knew what it meant,

Here and now, and then gone in a flash,
Like all the singers on the TV shows,
I’m not into that, better run while you can,
I just don’t wanna be yesterdays man,
I just don’t wanna be yesterdays man,


All anybody wants is the happy side of love,
The sunlight and the warmth,
You can never get enough,

Put on my shoes and take a walk across the road,
Maybe I’ll see you and you will turn all this lead back into gold,

Why do we make it so impossible to find,
When what we want has been right here within us all this time?
Oh, cant you see can’t you see?
Can’t you see cant you see?


Still waking up with you,
Still living on my own,
Upon the corner of the Kenilworth road,
That’s real life for you - you’re only here for the show,

Your like a poem bound in Faber’s double F’s,
You might not know it but your all that I have left,
I hope you read this, or hear this anywhere,


I sold all my books I’m hooked on magazines,
My memory isn’t what it used to be,
Don’t be a stranger is what you what you said to me,
Well do you have to ask if I have been?

You can’t change what you have been,
No matter what you try or what you think,
It’s living, that’s the trick,
It’s hard to do it when your minds on other things,


The sun is glowing like a lantern on the hill,
But what its showing, I don’t think that I can solve,
That’s real life for you, the more you ask the less you know,

I know we said we’d never talk about these things,
The kind of stories that get caught up in your dreams and make you lonely,
Lonely as you’ll ever be,
Lonely as you’ll ever be,
Lonley,
Lonely that’s me

And I don’t wanna be yesterday’s man,
Yesterday’s man.
