(I Could Be) Happy Yesterday — текст песни (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?

Chorus:
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?

(Chorus)

I could be happy
Oh, so happy
I could be happy
But it seems that I`m frustrating
All attempts at my elation

(Chorus: x 3)
