RETRO pop songs --- from another millennium and another galaxy.
My name's Pete. from Birmingham in UK-land. Nice to meet you ! I made a lot of very varied popsongs in the pre-digital age. I say they're McCartneyish, as I don't know how to categorize them. Allsorts. The description I use is RETRO I'm really a songwriter who wants others to perform these songs. So please bear that in mind as you grimace at my efforts to be acceptable. I'm especially concerned to write good lyrics, and if you do ever give some time to my stuff, I hope you will click to the lyrics and read those also. They don't come easy, you know. I'm plonking my songs here to give them a home, in the hope you might think they're not too bad. In fact, in the hope that you'll snap them up and I'll become an instant overnight megastar multi-millionaire. But failing that, I hope that you just like them. And if you do like one - I'd especially like it if you told me so. We all need strokes, eh ? Cheers ! Pete Songs-in-a-Bottle

Story behind the song
from 1970's but waited till February 2009 for new words. the old title was 'manny pull the rope' - not much lyrical mileage in that, though... if love-sickness is your problem take this song twice a day, before crying.
Lyrics
look, baby, in my face do your eyes detect the merest trace of a contact lens that's washed out of place ? no, babe, you're yesterday truth told, I'm willing to bet that you thought you'd see these features fret but I do not feel the slightest regret no, babe, you're yesterday so the fireworks began to run out of fizz but let's not exaggerate this for what it is for a temporary thing just reached its own ending evidently, that's ok so, do you hear fire alarms ? catch me quivering with quakes and qualms missing those embraces linked with your arms ? no, babe, you're yesterday there was mutual attraction right from the start it was satisfactory for the major part but the sparkle fizzled out and it reached its conclusion what else is there left to say ? come closer, can you see vestiges of high anxiety just because our thing was not meant to be ? no, babe, you're yesterday did you think ghosts would haunt ? or you'd find one finger pulled out of joint ? sorry to deceive you and disappoint no, babe, you're yesterday our fling has run all its course so am I suicidal post divorce ? do you think I'm racked with grief and remorse ? no, babe, you're yesterday it remained intoxicating for quite a while and was quite invigorating and volatile but the transient effects of the drug have now worn off vaporised and boiled away so, do you think that the pang when our love-affair went boom and bang made my taste for life start losing its tang ? no, babe, you're yesterday do you think I remain in a state of dull shell-shock and pain ? sinking under all the stress and the strain ? no, babe, you're yesterday do you think I still keep turning in my bed and losing my sleep ? wiping up the mess from tears that I weep ? no, babe, you're yesterday me harbour self-reproach ? just because I let my heart once approach and hold out a hand to stroke a cockroach ? no, babe, you're yesterday
