I made my selection from the lonely hit parade. In the town where time stood still. I was feeling very little pain. Until some joker played "Almost Persuaded". Now every girl I see. Looks so much prettier to me. My faithfulness has faded. And their looks established daggers. And the conversation heated. Since the boys had all been late. I found them walking round defeated. In the town where time stood still. Somebody in charge must have pretended. The future's been suspended. And I say I don't want trouble. But I find myself back in it. In the town where time stood still. I am the man of the minute. Teach me to say "I love you". I'll teach you to say "You will do". In the town where time stood still. A way that I can find a little girl. To wind me up with all the usual spells. There's nothing else to do but rearrange somebody's future. And check your figures in the till. The bar is full of girls just like the creature with the curse. And the food is just like cabaret and vice versa. In the town where time stood still. Just as my heart went down sinking. I found the town was shrinking. And suddenly I saw her through the smoke and empty beers. In the town where time stood still. She might have well have waited years. Now I suppose we did some things we used to do. But no amount of darkness could ever turn her into you. And so I woke up in the town where time stood still. With a headache and a heartache. And a handful of pills. A welcome mat a scandal rag and unpaid bills. With her hand inside her handbag. The sign says "please wait to be seated". I only want a cup of coffee. I know you can't have your cake and eat it. In the town where time stood still. Did you hear the news today?. It's all bad; they'll be howling after sunset. With a headache and a heartache. And an hour or two to kill. I only wish we were together.
