“Pink Houses” is my favorite, even though JM doesn’t know what “a face that would stop a clock” means.

And there's a woman in the kitchen
Cleanin' up evenin' slop
And he looks at her and says, "Hey darlin'
I can remember when you could stop a clock"

I know the saying but always interpreted the lyrics to mean, "I look at your beautiful face an all time stands still for me."
