Yesterday, 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...
Jepjep. Tämähän on ehkäpä maailman eniten soitettu kipale. Monelle suomalaiselle, joka ei ajattele sanoja sen kummemmin vaikkapa tanssilatialla, biisi on aika siirappia. Sanoitus on kuitenkin ajatonta ja aika saatu fiilis "kun elämä potkii" kaikessa rujoudessaan.
Kuten myös seuraava Elvarin biisi, jota itse soittelin useasti kitaralla ennenkuin joskus pysähdyin lukemaan ajatuksella sanoituksen. Biisin kaveri avautuu koskettavasti melkein kun useat JA:set ketjussa "naisasiat"

Maybe I didn’t treat you
Quite as good as I should have
Maybe I didn’t love you
Quite as often as I could have
Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn’t died
Give me, give me one more chance
To keep you satisfied, satisfied
Maybe I didn’t hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
And I guess I never told you
I’m so happy that you’re mine
If I make you feel second best
Girl, I’m sorry I was blind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn’t died
Give me, give me one more chance
To keep you satisfied, satisfied
Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time
You were always on my mind
You are always on my mind
You are always on my mind
