The lights went out (the last fuse blew) The clocks all stopped (it can't be true) The program's wrong (what can we do?) The printout's blocked (it relied on you) The turbine cracked up The buildings froze up The system choked up What can we do? Please remember to mention me In tapes you leave behind We stood still We all stood still Still stood still We're standing still The screen shut down (there's no reply) The lifts all fall (a siren cries) And the radar fades (a pilot sighs) As the countdowns stall (the readout lies) The turbines cracked up The buildings froze up The system choked up What can we do? Please remember to mention me In tapes you leave behind We stood still We all stood still Still stood still We're standing still The black box failed (the codes got crossed) And the jails decayed (the keys got lost) Everyone kissed (we breathe exhaust) In the new arcade (of the holocaust) The turbine cracked up The buildings froze up The system choked up What can we do? Plese remember to mention me In tapes you might leave behind We stood still We all stood still Still stood still We're standing still We stood still We all stood still Still stood still We're standing still

about

After over four years away, CODENAME : LOLA returns with this rendition of the classic yet surprisingly rarely covered Ultravox hit single 'All Stood Still', this time with Gothzilla frontman Tim Jarvis providing powerful vocals over a hard-edged electronic rock foundation.

There are two versions of the track because both mixes were worth releasing as opposed to just one of them. One for driving to and one for home listening, maybe? Who knows.
What we do know is that they're all yours for free, released on Black Friday because it's a cool sounding date and 2020 has thus far, sucked large balls, so we could all do with a treat.
