(''As per the 1993 '''''Monterey Jack''''' demo'')
<poem>Sometimes I feel very sad
 
Sometimes I feel very sad
 
When I think of what I once had
When I think of what I once had
Everything you gave to me
Everything you gave to me
 
Everything a boy could need
Everything (?) me
 


I've thrown it all away
I've thrown it all away
I've gone and lost my way
I've gone and lost my way
It's not like yesterday
It's not like yesterday
I've thrown it all away
I've thrown it all away


My room is empty now
My room is empty now
 
You don't even hear it now
You don't even (?) it now
 
But I remember playing there
But I remember playing there
 
Do you too, or don't you care?
Do you too or don't you care?
 


I've thrown it all away
I've thrown it all away
I've gone and lost my way
I've gone and lost my way
It's not like yesterday
It's not like yesterday
 
I've thrown it all away</poem>
I've thrown it all away
