He's the man that time forgot
Put your eye to the keyhole
Tied his future in a knot
Pushed it out to see
And like a tyrant on his d**hbed
He keeps on breathing
She remembers what he said
When he fell in the gutter
"Not even all the tea in china
Can pull me out of here"
And like a boxer who is blinded
He keeps on fighting
I never meant to cause you pain
I'd like the chance to start again
And everyone I love has mostly given up
And like it or not
I'm the man that time forgot
With a ticket in his hand
He stands on the platform
But the train it never comes
So he teeters down the track
And like a deer that's just been wounded
He knows that it's over
I never meant to cause you pain
I'd like the chance to start again
And everyone I love has mostly given up
And like it or not
I'm the man that time forgot
Please don't remember me this way, my darling
Don't you remember me this way sweet darling
Shut out your memories till they fade sweet darling
Please don't remember me this way
My darling
Mmmm
And like it or not
I'm the man that time forgot
