Stiff Little Fingers - Tinderbox

(I Could Be) Happy Yesterday

Just like the autumn
When leaves turn brown and fall upon the ground
That's how you left me
You just went cold and everything changed 'round

If I could have that time again
Would we still be friends? Or am I lying?

With everything I've said and done
And every race that I have run
When there is nothing more to say
I could be happy yesterday

With every lie that I've been told
And every dud that I've been sold
I would forget them anyway
I could be happy yesterday

Goodbye forever
You packed your bags and headed out the door
I'm being clever
Seeing if there's more points I can score

And though I'm sneering all the time
I'm dying inside, do you remember?

With everything I've said and done
And every race that I have run
When there is nothing more to say
I could be happy yesterday

With every lie that I've been told
And every dud that I've been sold
I would forget them anyway
I could be happy yesterday

I could be happy, oh, so happy
I could be happy
But it seems that I'm frustrating
All attempts at my elation

With everything I've said and done
And every race that I have run
When there is nothing more to say
I could be happy yesterday

With every lie that I've been told
And every dud that I've been sold
I would forget them anyway
I could be happy yesterday

With everything I've said and done
And every race that I have run
When there is nothing more to say
I could be happy yesterday

With every lie that I've been told
And every dud that I've been sold
I would forget them anyway
I could be happy yesterday

With everything I've said and done
And every race that I have run
When there is nothing more to say
I could be happy yesterday

With every lie that I've been told
And every dud that I've been sold
I would forget them anyway
I could be happy yesterday
