How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

Perhaps the most purely sombre song on The Holy Bible, This is Yesterday is one of only two songs on the album to be written primarily by usual co-lyricist Nicky Wire. The song tackles themes of nostalgia and regret of the past and present.
