He wanted to go to the sun
He wanted to swim in the rain
He waisted his time
Drinking whisky and wine
But now he's come back again

He's tried so hard to forget
What others would make him regret
But if I were he I'd listen to me
And keep myself in my head

Keep myself in my head ...

A man full of yesterdays
Climbing the ladder once again
But he can feel the strain
He's got to make it through
Forget the mistakes of his youth

He's come back again ...

A man full of yesterdays
Climbing the ladder once again
But he can feel the strain
