Like many of my "Lost" picks, this song didn't chart in Canada's Top 40 (it peaked at #68, according to online sources), but it displays the somewhat paradoxical, subjunctive style of writing that I particularly enjoy in pop music. You probably don't remember it, but if you do, enjoy your synth-enhanced nostalgia trip.

"When Time Turns Around" (as recorded by The Spoons)
When all the clocks stop in my heart
Will you still be there to take me
Back to the start?
When time turns around
We'll do it all over again
One more time
When time turns around
We'll take all the chances we missed
The first time around
When the world stops outside my room
I know you'll take me to a place
Where everything comes true
When time turns around
We'll do it all over again
One last time
When all the clocks unwind
We'll take all the chances we missed
The second time around
There's something in this room
Scattered in the airwaves
Bouncing off the ground right to my head
The pictures on the wall
Shadows of a replay
Of things that should have happened long ago
Now no-one else will know
When time turns around
We'll do it all over again
One more time
When time turns around
We'll take all the chances we missed
The first time around
When time turns around
We'll do it all over again
One last time
When all the clocks unwind
We'll take all the chances we missed
And never turn around
