Amitri Del Nothing Ever Happens Lyrics

Nothing Ever Happens Lyrics

Post office clerks put up signs saying position closed
And secretaries turn
off typewriters and put on their clothes
Janitors padlock the gates
For
security guards to patrol
And bachelors phone up their friends for a
drink
While the married ones turn on a chat show

And they'll all be
lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow

Gentlemen time please, you know we
can't serve anymore
Now the traffic lights change to stop, when there's
nothing to go
And by five o'clock everything's dead
And every third car
is a cab
And ignorant people sleep in their beds
Like the doped white
mice in the college lab

Nothing ever happens, nothing happens at
all
The needle returns to the start of the song
And we all sing along
like before

And we'll all be lonely tonight and lonely
tomorrow

Telephone exchanges click while there's nobody there
The
Martians could land in the carpark and no one would care
Close-circuit
cameras in department stores shoot the same video every day
And the stars of
these films neither die nor get killed
Just survive constant action
replay

Nothing ever happens, nothing happens at all
The needle
returns to the start of the song
And we all sing along like
before

And we'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow

Bill
hoardings advertise products that nobody needs
While angry from Manchester
writes to complain about
All the repeats on T.V.
And computer terminals
report some gains
On the values of copper and tin
While American
businessmen snap up Van Goghs
For the price of a hospital
wing

Nothing ever happens, nothing happens at all
The needle returns
to the start of the song
And we all sing along like before
Nothing ever
happens, nothing happens at all
They'll burn down the synagogues at six
o'clock
And we'll all go along like before

And we'll all be lonely
tonight and lonely tomorrow
