PROCLAIMERS lyrics : "A Long Long Time Ago"

Yesterday arrived too quickly

Caught me right off guard


My defence moved in too slowly


Missed it by a yard

Id just settled down


With a bottle of gin


So I moved on to whiskey

And it hit me again


Memories were raining punches


Down on my head

Knocked me into the past so quickly


They almost raised the dead


So I drank some more booze

And it helped me to sleep


Where I dreamed of my youth


And the secrets I keep



Oh history is a friend of mine

She comes over to my place


And we have a good time


But the memories

She sometimes brings with her


Get out of line


Theyre out of line



Show 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 ago



When I woke I remembered nothing

Suppose thats just as well


And although my head was aching


I could hear a bell

So I put on some clothes


And I reached my front door


When I pulled it wide open

She joined me once more



Oh history is a friend of mine

She comes over to my place

And we have a good time


But the memories

She sometimes brings with her


Get out of line

Theyre out of line



Show 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 ago


A long long time ago
