lyrics

Sail on Saturday morning
Meet my friends down the line
I gotta get up to Soho
Gotta be there on time
Gonna buy me a record I've been dreaming of all week
Check it out read the sleeve notes
Hey the drummer wrote a song!
Gonna go see em Friday down at the Odeon
Where we queued up all last Sunday in the pouring rain

Now I've been spending fortunes
Down the years along the way
Still living for tomorrow
On dreams of yesterday

Heard The Jam in Soho Market
Saw The Clash in Acklam Hall
Bunking in down the Marquee
Man I gotta see it all!
Gotta play there once or twice down the years

Yeah I've been spending fortunes
Down the years along the way
Still living for tomorrow
On dreams of yesterday

Now I'm working for a living
Down at some factory
Guess you take what you’re given in this world you see
But they can't take away my memories

The Odeon's long seen a picture
Now the market’s an NCP
And they went and built some fancy restaurant
On the Wardour St Marquee

Now I've been spending fortunes
Down the years along the way
Still living for tomorrow
On dreams of yesterday

When most of this was recorded I was a kid in the new wave era, discovering The Beatles and then Mod. All I Gotta Do especially, with its Beatles influence, reminds me of that time. OldMod67

Get Smart! - Bonus Edition
by Squire

supported by 5 fans who also own “Dreams of Yesterday”

This L.P. came out the year I left school and I bought this as a 16 year old Mod kid. A real pleasure and an album I've not stopped listening to ever since. This copy was a gift for my son, who'd borrowed mine and had to have a copy for himself. Great lyrics and perfect melodies, which have always put Squire above many other bands as far as I'm concerned. OldMod67
