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 lost before, you know i can't forget
there was a girl i used to know
well she dealt my love a savage blow
i was so young, too blind to see
but anyway, that's history
and i say, 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
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
i say, 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
never repeats
history never repeats
history never repeats
deep in the night it's all so clear
i lie awake with great ideas
looking 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
yeah...
