(I Could Be) Happy Yesterday - Stiff Little Fingers

Just like the autumn

When leaves turn brown and fall upon the ground

That’s how you left me

You just went cold and everything changed round

If I could have that time again

Would we still be friends

Or am I lying?

(Coro:)

With everything I’ve said and done

And every race that I have run

When there is nothing more to say

I could be happy yesterday

With every lie that I’ve been told

And every dud that I’ve been sold

I would forget them anyway

I could be happy yesterday

Goodbye forever

You packed your bags and headed out the door

I’m being clever

Seeing if there’s more points I can score

And though I’m sneering all the time

I’m dying inside

Do you remember?

(Coro)

I could be happy

Oh, so happy

I could be happy

But it seems that I’m frustrating

All attempts at my elation

(Coro)(x3)
