You Can’t Kill Yesterday Songtext
von 17 Hippies

Isn′t it time to wake up?
Wanting nothing more to do
And isn't it time to pack up
Bags and call it a day?

Isn′t it time to walk away?
So you can't kill yesterday
Far from good
But what is left for you to ask for

You have seen it all
This is the time

This is not the place to come home to
Open the door and be at ease
Nothing like this to make you want
To go for something else
Not your place and you know

How I wish I was from somewhere
And not a stranger to this world
Would that make me want to take a stand?
Would I be then political?


Watching telly

I've been watching television
The whole world is exploding
Paralysed by what to do now here I am
Falling in love with you

Am I going round the bend?
The summer heat is rising and tides are turning slow
Watching somebody acting strong
I wonder why we all want to live this long
Am I going round the bend?
Will we make it to the end?

Here it′s going again, here it′s going again
I'm going crazy
He′s going crazy again
Just as well

Who put on the flood lights?
Somethings happening in town dear
Hear the noise, all along ... let's watch what′s going on
Who put on the flood lights?


What's the story, what′s the beat?
There's a crazy old manic down the street
Just a screaming and a calling
Barely on his feet
With whole gang around
Going: go back go back go back

Hold back ... slowly now
I've been watching television
Isn′t it strange I do hope that you, won′t go crazy too
The world's imploding
Maybe I′m a little slow
Cause here I am falling in love with you
Here it's going again, here it′s going again
