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
    And there's a deadline
    hanging over me
    The system crashed so suddenly.

    I pushed something wrong
    What it was I could not say
    Now my data's gone
    and I long for yesterday-ay-ay-ay.

    Yesterday,
    The need for back-ups seemed so far away.
    Thought all my data was here to stay,
    Now I believe in yesterday.
