He wanted to go to the sun He wanted to swim in the rain He wasted his time, drinking whisky and wine But now he's come back again He's tried so hard to forget What others would make him regret But if I were he I'd listen to me And keep myself in my head Keep myself in my head... A man full of yesterdays Climbing the ladder once again But he can feel the strain He's got to make it through Forget the mistakes of his youth He's tried so hard to forget What others would make him regret But if I were he I'd listen to me And keep myself in my head He wanted to go to the sun He wanted to swim in the rain He wasted his time, drinking whisky and wine But now he's come back again He's come back again... A man full of yesterdays Climbing the ladder once again But he can feel the strain A man full of yesterdays Climbing the ladder once again But he can feel the strain Again, he's come back again He's come back again
