Town Where Time Stood Still

[Verse 1]

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 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"

[Chorus]

In the town where time stood still

[Verse 2]

Or maybe  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 until

The bar is full of girls just like the creature with the curse

And the food is just like cabaret and vice versa

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]

And so I saw her through the smoke and empty beers

In the town where time stood still

She might have well have waited years

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

And a welcome mat, a scandal rag and unpaid bills

With a headache and heartache

And an hour or two to kill

I only wish we were together

[Chorus][x3]
