“Yesterday and Today” was one of the tracks recorded at Trident Studios and features Bruford playing the vibraphone, despite telling the band he can play the instrument and Banks remembering the drummer getting nervous when it came to recording.
[Verse 1]
Why is there you when there are few
People around, making me feel good?
Why is there me when air is free
Some I can see better than I should?
There's only us simply because
Thinking of us makes us both happy
[Chorus]
I think of you every way
Yesterday and today
I think of things that we do
All the way, every day
[Verse 2]
Stand in the sea, sing songs for me
Sing happily, making me feel good
Watching your eyes, feeling your sighs
Saying goodbyes better than I could
There's only us simply because
Thinking of us makes us both happy
[Chorus]
I think of you every way
Yesterday and today
I think of nothing but you
Things we do, things we do
[Instrumental Outro]
