Is Yesterday, Tomorrow, Today? Lyrics
It's another way to get through the day
Picking up ripped cigarette boxes hoping that one remains
Yellow lucky day suck deep and bathe
For the next ten minutes spent coughing on the pleasures craved
Write down all the things that you'd like to say
Write down all the things that you'd like to change
Write down all the places you'd like to stay
Write down anything that you want
Is yesterday, tomorrow, today?
Is nothing gonna change the way?
Crack rock top wall
Let the ash to fall
Left alone to wait
I've never looked at things
I've liked only things I hate
You're not the first today
You're not the softest face
Was there any that your liked,
Was there any that you did'nt fake?
Write down all the things that youd like to be
Write down all the things that you dont believe
Write down all the places you'd like to see
Write down anything that you want
Is yesterday tomorrow today?
Is nothing gonna change the way?
Because everything that you
And the things that you like to do
And all of the things that are
Come back again
Is yesterday, tomorrow, today?
Picking up ripped cigarette boxes hoping that one remains
Yellow lucky day suck deep and bathe
For the next ten minutes spent coughing on the pleasures craved
Write down all the things that you'd like to change
Write down all the places you'd like to stay
Write down anything that you want
Is nothing gonna change the way?
Let the ash to fall
Left alone to wait
I've never looked at things
I've liked only things I hate
You're not the first today
You're not the softest face
Was there any that you did'nt fake?
Write down all the things that you dont believe
Write down all the places you'd like to see
Write down anything that you want
Is nothing gonna change the way?
And the things that you like to do
And all of the things that are
Come back again

What the hell?? This is my favourite song on this album!
This is also one of my favourite phonics song!!! I even once preached a sermon using it. Taliking about regrets and not having 'yesterday' again... a good point...
Top 3 on the album IMO. Song is about what you could have changed if you could turn back time.
The title is apparently from something Kelly heard a little boy ask his mum, I think perhaps when he was in a waiting room, and it got him thinking. In Kelly's words "Its not what the songs about, but I thought it was cool'. Having spent a lot of time thinking about chronology, the title is surely a misnomer tho. Not wanting to pick holes, but surely it should be correctly titled 'Is Today Tomorrow Yesterday?'
Should have been titled "is yesterday's tomorrow today"
Possibly the weakest on the album. I still love it but i think it and minute longer could have been cut.
