Biography:
Dressed in leather, brandishing heavy guitars, and exhibiting an unabashed fetish for British Invasion pop, the Smithereens were an anomaly in the American college rock scene of the late '80s. Lead singer/songwriter/guitarist Pat DiNizio stood out not only with his strange beatnik goatee, but also because his catchy hooks were haunting, not punchy, and because his lyrics were morose. As time wore on, the group became more straightforward, turning into an excellent bar band, one that attacked pop songs with the weight of AC/DC.

"Yesterday Girl"(Dinizio)
from "11"(1989)
Tune down one half step.
A D G A |A D G A|
I never think about the future, I just live for today
A D G A |A D G A|
And if you want a ready answer I've got nothing to say
A D G A
So please don't bother talking to me, I'll just disappoint you
A D G A
Because I'm quite content to sit right here with nothing to do
Pre-chorus:
E A D E |E A D E|
Well,I'm not the singer that you used to know
E A D E |E A D E|
I used to be the guy that had someplace to go
Chorus:
A D G A
But that was yesterday, girl, Yesterday, girl
A D G A
Yesterday,girl,Yesterday girl
A D
(and you're my) yesterday girl,
G A A D G A
Yesterday girl, yesterday girl, yesterday girl
I never want to find an answer cause I don't like the truth
And if I find just what I'm looking for I've something to lose
So please don't go and ask me questions I just won't feel the same
(I'll do what you say, doesn't matter anyway)
And when I think about religion well there's no-one to blame
(I'm not feelin' you, doesn't matter what I do)
Pre-chorus,Chorus, Solo.
(tell me something new, then I might agree with you)
(I live for today,not yesterday!)
Repeat first verse,chorus, end on A.
