[00:06.48]It was the day before the day before yesterday
[00:11.04]When we thought everything would now go our way
[00:16.47]We inherited a fortune of innocence
[00:21.60]And they took it all away
[00:25.67]We travel on the last bus from sanity
[00:30.66]Through province town to cities of obscurity
[00:35.66]And somewhere down the road it occurs to me
[00:41.68]That I might have missed my stop
[00:45.56]But I will not return to yesterday
[00:51.45]Or smooth out the human clay
[00:56.72]We'll face this new England like we always have
[01:01.31]In a fury of denial
[01:03.62]We'll go out dancing on the tiles
[01:06.18]Help me down, but don't take me back
[01:14.87]I heard a lover calling to Saint Anthony
[01:20.05]Sadly treating love like her property
[01:25.37]Only battles can be lost and so it seems we do
[01:29.12]But I'm hoping for a change
[01:34.49]I left you at the bus stop in working town
[01:38.93]Now the service has been cut re-named slumber down
[01:43.55]I can see you on the bars of your brother's bicycle
[01:48.50]Now I hope you're not alone
[01:53.18]But I will not return to yesterday
[01:59.62]Or smooth out the human clay
[02:04.18]We'll face this new England like we always have
[02:10.93]In a fury of denial
[02:12.12]We'll go out dancing on the tiles
[02:14.51]Help me down, but don't take me back
[02:22.83]And all the politician creeps
[02:25.01]I know they want them back
[02:27.39]And the couturier weeps
[02:29.27]She knows they won't come back
[02:32.38]And the lovers who seldom speak
[02:34.57]I know they want them back
[02:37.33]And me falling back into your half term kisses
[02:40.32]No I will not
[02:43.64]Return to yesterday
[02:48.20]Or smooth out the human clay
[02:53.26]We'll face this new England like we always have
[02:58.89]In a fury of denial
[03:01.14]We'll go out dancing on the tiles
[03:03.51]Help me down, but don't take me back
[03:08.02]Return to yesterday
[03:13.15]Or smooth out the human clay
[03:17.97]We'll face this new England like we always have
[03:23.03]In a fury of denial
[03:25.41]We'll go out dancing on the tiles
[03:28.35]Help me down, but don't take me back
[03:32.40]Return to yesterday
[03:36.90]Or smooth out the human clay

We'll face this new England like we always have
In a fury of denial
We'll go out dancing on the tiles
Help me down, but don't take me back
Return to yesterday
Or smooth out the human clay
