“Happenings Ten Years Time Ago” is notable for being the first Yardbirds single to feature Jimmy Page on guitar; this is one of only two songs to feature Page playing alongside existing guitarist Jeff Beck, who would soon after leave the group to start a solo career.
[Verse 1]
Meeting people along my way
Seemingly, I've known one day
Familiarity of things
That my dreaming always brings
[Chorus]
Happenings ten years time ago
Situations we really know
But the knowing is in the mind
Sinking deep into the well of time
Sinking deep into the well of time
[Verse 2]
Walking in the room, I see
Things that mean a lot to me
Why they do, I never know
Memories don't strike me so
Memories don't strike me so
[Verse 3]
It seems to me I've been here before
The sounds I heard and the sights I saw
Was it real, was it in my dreams?
I need to know what it all means
[Bridge]
(Pop group, are ya?)
(I'll bet you're making money)
(Why you lot wear long hair?)
(Bet you're appearing in a club, are ya?)
(Singing every night there on stage...)
[Chorus]
Happenings ten years time ago
Situations we really know
But the knowing is in the mind
Sinking deep into the well of time
Sinking deep into the well of time
