I took some liberties w/ this masterpiece recorded by my old bandmate and music virtuoso, Mike Nicholson. We did an album during lockdown via the internet. Him, music. Me, lyrics and melody. I always wanted to "augment" this one. Very Foghat-ish. Enjoy!

Lyrics: Good morning, lady. I guess this finds you feeling well. 
I left you, baby, because you put us both through hell

It took a while to learn that I got burned and so much turned
But I got wise with newer eyes and cut those ties w/ all those lies

CHORUS: And now I’m just your Mister Yesterday Divine
Your toy has up and gone away to find
Some joy and someone else to ease his mind

What happened lady? I felt we had some special thing
I’m guessing, baby, it’s more than just a diamond ring
The calls you made had me afraid that you had up and strayed
But like I read I caught you dead with someone spread inside our bed

CHORUS

I won’t be back, your heart is black, our love has jumped the track
Just you wait some twist of fate will teach you how to operate

CHORUS

MR YESTERDAY DIVINE

From Bellow's "Seize the Day." The old Latin: Carpe diem! You know. Just riffed off the saying.
