Yesterday love was such an easy game for you to play. But now let's face it, things are so much easier today. Let it be like yesterday.
Ray DaviesArty farty, you'll never fool your Aunt, who knew you picked your nose and wet your pants.
Ray DaviesWhen I wrote the song, I had the sea near Bombay in mind. We stayed at a hotel by the sea, and the fishermen come up at five in the morning and they were all chanting. And we went on the beach and we got chased by a mad dog-big as a donkey. ... I think that songwriting changed when groups started spending more time in the studio. ... I've written so many songs about Englishmen, I have to go elsewhere. ... Our repertoire consisted of rhythm and blues, sort of country rhythm and blues, Sonny Terry things.
