My Mistake Lyrics

I went out to see if I could fall in love again.
That was my mistake.
That was my mistake.
I went out to see if I could raise a laugh again.
That was my mistake.
That was my mistake.

When all I needed was a friend,
To make me stop and think again,
Pull me up and pull me through.
Tally ho, your health my dear.

I went out to see if I could live forgotten days
That was my mistake.
That was my mistake.
One by one I counted all those happiest of days.
Yeah, That was my mistake.
Why, That was my mistake.

What's gone is gone, sweet memories,
Don't let them get the best of me,
No more lost in history,
No more lost for love.

When all I needed was a friend,
To make me stop and think again,
The call to arms is loud and clear.
Tally ho, your health my dear.

I went out to see if I could fall in love again,
That was my mistake.
Why, that was my mistake.
One by one I counted all those happiest of days
That was my mistake.
That was my mistake.
That was my mistake, etc.

A song, it seems, about Depression. Top Notch Song - so Split Enz/New Wave/Quirky Monty Pythonesque! Love that outro - GO KIWI ROCK!

Yep, Depression mixed with some Nostalgia, great great great great great great great great great great song.

What a cracker! I'd say more about a break up with a good person because he was trying to re-live the glory days of yesteryear. 'I went out' to find these better days but they had gone and 'that was my mistake'. I can't see the depression link but if someone could clear it up I'd love to hear about it. Oh the melody
