Lyrics for Town Where Time Stood Still by Elvis Costello:
| | | Artist: | Elvis Costello |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Town Where Time Stood Still | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 72 | | | | Lyrics: | 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 head inside her handbag
The sign says "please
wait to be seated"
I only want a cup of coffee
