A Long Long Long Time Ago Lyrics - Singles - Proclaimers

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

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

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 

Photos 

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
