Paul woke up one morning with the tune 'Yesterday' in his head. He was worried that the tune might be unconsciously plagiarised. So for a month, he he wnet round to people in the music business and asked them whether they have heard it before. He then came out with the provisional title 'Scrambled Eggs' and began singing "Scarmbled eggs, Oh you've got such lovely legs". He concieved the song in early 1965 and only in June did he completed the lyrics when he went for a brief holiday in Portugal at Bruce Welch's (The Shadows) villa. It was also there that the one word title was hit.
LyricsYesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away.
Now it looks as though they're here to stay.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Suddenly,
I'm not half the man I used to be,
There's a shadow hanging over me,
Oh, yesterday came suddenly.
Why she had to go
I don't know she wouldn't say.
I said something wrong,
Now I long for yesterday.
Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play.
Now I need a place to hide away.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Why she had to go
I don't know she wouldn't say.
I said something wrong,
Now I long for yesterday.
Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play.
Now I need a place to hide away.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm.
