Stan Still, Stand Still

from EP by Grip-Like Vice

lyrics

Stand still, as if you're part of the furniture,
Stand still & don't be counted,
You used to be the T.V, Radio & Personal Computer,
You were the brightest spark of all,

But Now,
You're just a fixture on the wall,
There might as well be no-one there at all,

Stand still, as if your part of the wallpaper,
Coz Stan Still you are a coat hook,
You used to be the T.V, now you just make the place look untidy.
I bet they wish that they could tip-ex you out,

Your just a fixture on the wall,
She doesn't even notice you at all,

Stan Still,
He stood stiller than he ever had before,
Or to say correctly: “stood more still,”
Standing there he stood & stared,
Stringing syllables in his head,
Someday, someone, somewhere will see them......
Sung somehow.

Stan Still, You’re not a part of the infrastructure,
Coz Stan Still you’re on your own,

You used to be the T.V, now your more like the cover on the back seat,
Your comfortable & convenient with no pride,

Your just a sad invertebrate,
You wanna change, but it can wait,

Stan Still,
He stood stiller than he ever had before,
Or to say correctly: “stood more still,”
Standing there he stood & stared,
Stringing syllables in his head,
Someday, someone, somewhere will see them sung.

Out of tune again,
Out of time again,
Out of tune again,
Out of time again,
Coz no-one else can sing his song like him,

Stan Still,
He stood stiller than he ever had before,
Or to say correctly: he stood still,
Standing there he stood & stared,
Stringing syllables in his head,
Someday, someone, somewhere will see them sung somehow,

Stan Still,
He stood stiller than he ever had before,
Or to say correctly: “stood more still,”
Standing there he stood & stared,
Stringing syllables in his head,
Someday, someone, somewhere will.......
