Yesterday arrived too quickly 
Caught me right off guard 
My defence moved in too slowly 
Missed it by a yard 
Id just settled down 
With a bottle of gin 
So I moved on to whiskey 
And it hit me again 
Memories were raining punches 
Down on my head 
Knocked me into the past so quickly 
They almost raised the dead 
So I drank some more booze 
And it helped me to sleep 
Where I dreamed of my youth 
And the secrets I keep 
 
Oh history is a friend of mine 
She comes over to my place 
And we have a good time 
But the memories 
She sometimes brings with her 
Get out of line 
Theyre out of line 
 
Show me things I dont want to see 
(wanna see, wanna see, wanne see) 
Remind me of who I thought I was gonna be 
(ganna be, gonna be, gonna be) 
Take me places I used to go 
(used to go, used to go) 
A long long time ago 
 
When I woke I remembered nothing 
Suppose thats just as well 
And although my head was aching 
I could hear a bell 
So I put on some clothes 
And I reached my front door 
When I pulled it wide open 
She joined me once more 
 
Oh history is a friend of mine 
She comes over to my place 
And we have a good time 
But the memories 
She sometimes brings with her 
Get out of line 
Theyre out of line 
 
Show me things I dont want to see 
(wanna see, wanna see, wanna see) 
Remind me of who I thought I was gonna be 
(ganna be, gonna be, gonna be) 
Take me places I used to go 
(used to go, used to go) 
A long long time ago 
A long long time ago
