the student

got this from today's edition of TNP

sung to the tune of Yesterday

Yesterday
All those backups seemed a waste of pay
Now my database has gone away
Oh, I believe in yesterday

Suddenly
There's not half the files there
used to be
And there's a millstone hanging
over me

The system crashed so suddenly
I pushed something wrong
What it was i could not say

Now all my data's gone
And i long for yesterday-ay-ay

Yesterday
The need for backups seemed so far away
I knew my data was all here to stay
Now I believe in yesterday
