Yesterday - Guy Garvey

Love came down like a cooling tower

Where an hour glass yesterday

Just dust and self-loathing (ooooh)

And un-returned clothing (ooooh)

The life stands still at an unmanned till

But the slow walk home in the evening chill

Have me feeling pretty virtuous

Until I see her

The flashing indicators of my favourite saboteur

And suddenly

All my darkest dreams come swimming in to focus

And it’s hopeless

To resist you cross your wrist some twisted prayer or supplication

Ten Hail Mary’s in the morning

She left town like a medicine show

In an oh so familiar scene

And I vowed forever solo (oooh)

Time to focus on the crocuses

Till I’m through it and I’m zen

And I’ll do it again

I’m a diligent village idiot toeing the line but watching for a sign

And when this cheap red wine or the big blue moon

Come to me my little ingenue

Suddenly

All my darkest dreams come swimming in to focus

And it’s hopeless

To resist you cross your wrist some twisted prayer or supplication

Ten Hail Mary’s in the morning

Love is a push and a shove sometimes

Suddenly

All my darkest dreams come swimming in to focus

And it’s hopeless

To resist you cross your wrist some twisted prayer or supplication

Ten Hail Mary’s in the morning

All my darkest dreams come swimming in to focus

And it’s hopeless

To resist you cross your wrist some twisted prayer or supplication

Ten Hail Mary’s in the morning

I am reborn

Cause my girl loves yesterday

And lives for tomorrow
