Story Behind The Song
This track had a Motown-style rhythm but it ended up as a pop/rock song. This is about getting your life back together and I started writing this after listening to ?Auberge?, an album released by Chris Rea in 1991. Very simple construction to this song

Lyrics
Crazy Yesterday
Words and music by Robert Marsh
Copyright ©2004 Robert Marsh
VERSE ONE:
On the road, holding on somehow
Tearing me up, running me down
You know it sounds like the voice of a gun
A shallow heart burns up like the sun
I realised I had no soul
So many lies that I was told
CHORUS:
And I won?t go back to that crazy yesterday
I?m gonna pick me up, take this chance for a better way
I?m gonna make my name, I?ll be number one
I don?t wanna see another crazy yesterday
VERSE TWO:
Take me out of this empty shell
That?s pulling me down to a place they call hell
This is all making my life misery
Hold on my heart and just hope to be free
Too many years of sleeping dreams
I was falling apart at the seams
REPEAT CHORUS
VERSE THREE: INSTRUMENTAL
Too many years of sleeping dreams
I was falling apart at the seams
REPEAT CHORUS
