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

Suddenly, there's not half the files there used to be.
There's a milestone 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, oh how 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.

Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm.
