The Standing Still

Once upon a time

Days of wine and roses and smug suburban swine

Same old songs, same old cabaret

A fairytale in notting hill

Take your partners for the standing still

Once upon a time

Not so happy ending for the mersey and the tyne

Who said the story had to end this way?

A fairytale on beeston hill

Take your partners for the standing still

Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid...
