PROCLAIMERS lyrics : "A Long Long Long Time Ago"

Yesterday arrived too quickly
Caught me right off guard
My defence moved in too slowly

Missed it by a yard
I'd 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
They're out of line


Show me things I don't 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 that's 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

They're out of line

Show me things I don't 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
