History Never Repeats

Split Enz

History never repeats

I tell myself before I go to sleep

Don't say the words you might regret

I've lost before you know I can't forget



There was a girl I used to know

She dealt my love a savage blow

I was so young, too blind to see

But anyway that's History



(I say) History never repeats

I Tell myself before I go to sleep

Don't say the words you might regret

I've lost before you know I can't forget



You say I always played the fool

I can't go on if that's the rule

Better to jump than hesitate

I need a change and I can't wait



History never repeats

I tell myself before I go to sleep

And there's a light shining in the dark

Leading me on towards a change of heart (ah-ar)



History never repeats

History never repeats



Deep in the night it's all so clear

I lie awake with great ideas

Lurking about in no-man's land

I think at last I understand



History never repeats

I tell myself before I go to sleep

And there's a light shining in the dark

Leading me on towards a change of heart (ah-ar)

Never repeats

Never repeats

Never repeats

Hey Hey, Hey...
