Robyn Hitchcock Yesterday's Rain Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, you know yourself
Better than I ever could know you
You control yourself
That's what I could never, ever do
It wouldn't suit me

[Verse 2]
Well, the beat goes on
Louder than a moustache on a face
Would anybody miss the human race?
I didn't think so

[Verse 3]
Well, the flag comes down
Sharper than the creases in a knife
Carving out the scars from your past life
Oh, glory, glory

[Verse 4]
Well, I feel so good
Feel like I have freshly been exhumed
From a naked lunch inside a lilac tomb
It's great to be herе

[Chorus]
Yesterday's rain
Falls on tomorrow's parade [Verse 5]
Wеll, there's no one here
Just a lonely crocodile on skis
Scanning the horizon for debris
If he gets lucky

[Verse 6]
And I met you once
Sometimes I believe that we've met twice
You'd take anything but my advice
It wouldn't suit you

[Chorus]
Yesterday's rain
Falls in tomorrow's champagne
Falls on tomorrow's campaign
Falls on tomorrow's insane

[Bridge]
Oh, you're fierce
But you're lovely
Oh, you're fierce
But you're so lovely
Oh, you're fierce
But you're lovely
Ooh, you're fierce
Oh, oh, oh

[Outro]
Yesterday's rain
