Proclaimers - A Long Long Long Time Ago Lyrics
Yesterday arrived too quicklyCaught me right off guardMy defence moved in too slowlyMissed it by a yardId just settled downWith a bottle of ginSo I moved on to whiskeyAnd it hit me againMemories were raining punchesDown on my headKnocked me into the past so quicklyThey almost raised the deadSo I drank some more boozeAnd it helped me to sleepWhere I dreamed of my youthAnd the secrets I keepOh history is a friend of mineShe comes over to my placeAnd we have a good timeBut the memoriesShe sometimes brings with herGet out of lineTheyre out of lineShow me things I dont want to see(wanna see, wanna see, wanne see)Remind me of who I thought I was gonna be(ganna be, gonna be, gonna be)Take me places I used to go(used to go, used to go)A long long time agoWhen I woke I remembered nothingSuppose thats just as wellAnd although my head was achingI could hear a bellSo I put on some clothesAnd I reached my front doorWhen I pulled it wide openShe joined me once moreOh history is a friend of mineShe comes over to my placeAnd we have a good timeBut the memoriesShe sometimes brings with herGet out of lineTheyre out of lineShow me things I dont want to see(wanna see, wanna see, wanna see)Remind me of who I thought I was gonna be(ganna be, gonna be, gonna be)Take me places I used to go(used to go, used to go)A long long time agoA long long time ago
