Lyrics
Stanley went away on a January day
Guess he didn't want to stay and settle down this way
And everything's wrong now that you're gone
Can't get you out of the way
And everything's wrong now that you're gone
I thought I saw you yesterday
And the newspapers say "Everyone take a pill today"
Really should have known, there's nothing set in stone
Really should have known, even down the phone
I remember when you came life was just a game
This town's not the same, only in it's name
And everything's wrong now that you're gone
Can't get you out of the way
And everything's wrong now that you're gone
I thought I saw you yesterday
And the radio says "Everyone's gone far away"
Really should have known, there's nothing set in stone
Really should have known, even down the phone
Stanley went away, Stanley went away
Really should have known, there's nothing set in stone
Really should have known, there's nothing set in stone
Really should have known, there's nothing set in stone
Really should have known, even down the phone
