Yesterday, Yesterday,

All those backups seemed a waste of pay.

My database has gone away.

Oh I believe in yesterday.

Suddenly,

There's not half the files there used to be,

And there's a millstone hanging over me.

The system crashed so suddenly.

I pushed something wrong

What it was I could not say.

Now all my data's gone

and I long for yesterday-ay-ay-ay.

Yesterday,

The need for back-ups seemed so far away.

I knew my data was all here to stay,

Now I believe in yesterday.

I pushed something wrong

What it was I could not say.

Now all my data's gone

and I long for yesterday-ay-ay-ay.

Yesterday,

The need for back-ups seemed so far away.

I knew my data was all here to stay,

Now I believe in yesterday.

Yes I believe in yesterday.
