Written by Ian Anderson. Produced and mixed by Ian Anderson, recorded live in Graz, Austria, on 9 May 1992 by Leon Phillips. The ninth track (7:33) on A Little Light Music (Chrysalis, 14 September 1992), which closes the album’s first disc on the CD edition.
A greatly extended live reworking of the opening track from the band’s 1969 album Stand Up, where it ran about four minutes; the 1992 version stretches to more than seven. The song also appeared in live form on Bursting Out in 1978 and In Concert in 1991. On this album it is one of the tracks reviewers single out for the extra joy of the band’s semi-acoustic arrangements.
Jethro Tull – A New Day Yesterday Lyrics
My first and last time with you
and we had some fun.
wenT walking through the trees, yeah!
And then I kissed you once.
Oh I want to see you soon
but I wonder how.
It was a new day yesterday
but it’s an old day now.
Spent a long time looking
for a game to play.
My luck should be so bad now
to turn out this way.
Oh I had to leave today
just when I thought I’d found you.
It was a new day yesterday
But it’s an old day now.
