Yesterday



Yesterday,
All those backups seemed a waste of pay.
Now my database has gone away.
Oh I believe in yesterday.


Suddenly,
There aren't half the files there used to be;
There's a millstone hanging over me;
The system crashed so suddenly.


I pushed something wrong
What it was I could not 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.
