Sentimental Illness Lyrics

What am holding today

Is memories of yesterday

That I can't seem to let go of

Cos I fear I might forget

All the little bits of wisdom

Wisdom that have been given

By those who ain't here anymore

See I got this thing, I call sentimental illness

It means I'm always looking to the past

Through the rose tinted glass

When I should be looking forward

Have a word, no I can't be bothered

And I suppose yeah sure it's a shame

But I want those days back again

I want those days back again

My latest case of sentimental illness

I'm feeling comes from

Alness, Inverness, Kintail Crescent

And when I used to be the man in the band

And I never needed any plans

I could always just leave on a train

I want those days back again

I want those days back again

I want those days back again, again

I want those days back again

What am holding today

Is memories of yesterday

That I can't seem to let go of

Cos I fear I might forget

All the little bits of wisdom

Wisdom that have been given

By those who ain't here anymore
