Sävel: Yesterday

Yesterday,
all those back-ups seemed a waste of pay;
Now 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 deadline hanging over me
The system crashed so suddenly.

I pushed something wrong,
what it was – I couldn’t 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 believe in yesterday.
