Yesterday Went Too Soon

Reading magazines and counting sheep to pass the time away
Hoping that tomorrow's gonna bring a smile home again
Images of palm tree's swaying in the wind on south beach
Takes me back to better days, summer days the everglades in june
My brain, my poor brains
My brain, my poor brain
I'm drinking myself to sleep again, nightnurse pills to keep me sane
Drinking myself to sleep again, insomnia
Flying high in golden skies, i'm flicking channels in my mind
Finding my utopia a different chapter in a book
Thinking back to younger days as i escape in cooper's break
It takes me back to 84 the future's knocking at my door
My brain, my poor brain
My brain, my poor brain
I'm drinking myself to sleep again, nightnurse pills to keep me sane
Drinking myself to sleep again, insomnia i'm drinking myself to sleep again, nightnurse pills to keep me sane
Drinking myself to sleep again, insomnia
Turning off a switch inside me, leaving all the stress behind me
Flying over streams and houses, passing over the wye valley
It takes me back to 84 the future's knocking at my door
My brain, my poor brain
I'm drinking myself to sleep again, nightnurse pills to keep me sane
Drinking myself to sleep again, insomnia i'm drinking myself to sleep again, nightnurse pills to keep me sane
Drinking myself to sleep again, insomnia i'm drinking myself to sleep again, nightnurse pills to keep me sane
Drinking myself to sleep again, insomnia.

The words we say, old flowers fade away
Remember yesterday, wish it would bloom again
Apathy and pain, here comes the autumn rain
Old apologies scattered in the wings of fate
Cause today it all looks black and white, wish it would change
We can't keep painting colours when its
Don't hesitate, cause you will bleed
A thousand tears won't wash it clean
Don't hesitate cause you can free yourself
Evergreen, evergreen
Down on my knees, crawling though the streets again
Surrendered to my needs, so i can breathe the air
You're my evergreen, regents park in spring
It takes me to a place, where i can dream again
Cause today it all looks black and white, wish it would change
We can't keep painting colours when it rains
I just want some place where i can breathe without this bitter taste
Cause today it all looks black and white, wish it would change
We can't keep painting colours when it's grey
It all looks black and white today
You're my evergreen, regents park in spring
It takes me to a place, where i can dream again
Cause today it all looks black and white, wish it would change
We can't keep painting colours when it rains
Evergreen, evergreen, evergreen

20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26 still alive
It's dragging me under, don't think i'll recover
A stone in the water, a nail in my shoulder
Just put it together, you think you're so clever
Can we make it better, climb the mountain together
It's gonna break, gonna crack
Gonna fall down and smash
Paralyse, oxidise, feel us drifting apart
It's gonna break, gonna crack
Gonna fall down and smash
Paralyse, oxidise, feel us drifting apart
(don't take me down and watch me fall)
Twenty years older, the city gets colder
Still reaching for cover, we live and we suffer
Just put it together, if you think you're so clever
Can you make it better, pull the pieces together
It's gonna break, gonna crack
Gonna fall down and smash
Paralyse, oxidise, feel us drifting apart
It's gonna break, gonna crack
Gonna fall down and smash
Paralyse, oxidise, feel us drifting apart
40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, still alive
It's dragging me under, don't think i'll recover
But we'll make it better, climb the mountain together
It's gonna break, gonna crack
Gonna fall down and smash
Paralyse, oxidise, feel us drifting apart
It's gonna break, gonna crack
Gonna fall down and smash
Paralyse, oxidise, feel us drifting apart
It's gonna break, gonna crack
Gonna fall down and smash
Paralyse, oxidise, feel us drifting apart
It's gonna break, gonna crack
Gonna fall down and smash
Paralyse, oxidise, feel us drifting apart
(don't take me down and watch me fall, don't break my bones and watch me crawl)
Paralyse, oxidise, feel us drifting apart
Paralyse, oxidise, feel us drifting apart

I'm burning out the tv tubes,
It's three o'clock & i'm confused
Cause commitment is so complete,
It's burning little holes in me
I know that i might look a mess,
And she's so perfect in that oxfam dress
She looks just like a beauty queen,
Shinning out in velveteen
I'm delirious
You make it better
You make the weather seem ok
You're my anaesthetic
You just take the pain away
I love it when she comes around,
She's a firework that never ends
A micro chip inside my brain,
I'm crawling on my knees again
It scares me the way i am,
I'm buried in a sea of sand
Lying on a hand grenade,
Waiting for the world to shake
I'm delirious
You make it better
You make the weather seem ok
You're my anaesthetic
You just take the pain away
You make it better
You just take the pain away
Delirious, i'm so delirious, delirious,
I'm so delirious, delirious
You make it better
You make the weather seem ok
You're my anaesthetic
You just take the pain awayyou make it better
You make the weather seem ok
You're my anaesthetic
You just take the pain away
Anaesthetic,
She's my anaesthetic
Anaesthetic,
She's my anaesthetic

Falling down, reaching out, for someone to come down
Oblivious to all of us, the child that grows inside
Seventeen without a care, she's taking another ride
A sense of peace she's waving back, to faces carved in stone
Tinsel town, here in tinsel town, it's pulled you down
Life in tinsel town, overthrown, relinquished all
Life breeds all around, a fun fair trip a carousel
She's trying to hang on, here in tinsel town
Life in tinsel town, it's pulled you down
Stuck in tinsel town, i think she might make it
She has the will to go on, she's turning back pages as the world steps on
Here in tinsel town, life in tinsel town
Its pulled you down, stuck in tinsel town
Alone, alone, alone, so alone, here in tinsel town
Life in tinsel town.
