《Nothing Ever Happens》歌词

[00:00:07] Post office clerks put up signs saying position closed

[00:00:13] And secretaries turn off typewriters and put on their coats

[00:00:20] Janitors padlock the gates

[00:00:23] For security guards to patrol

[00:00:27] And bachelors phone up their friends for a drink

[00:00:30] While the married ones turn on a chat show

[00:00:35] And they'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow

[00:00:42] Gentlemen time please you know we can't serve anymore

[00:00:48] Now the traffic lights change to stop when there's nothing to go

[00:00:55] And by five o'clock everything's dead

[00:00:59] And every third car is a cab

[00:01:02] And ignorant people sleep in their beds

[00:01:05] Like the doped white mice in the college lab

[00:01:11] Nothing ever happens nothing happens at all

[00:01:17] The needle returns to the start of the song

[00:01:21] And we all sing along like before

[00:01:24] And we'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow

[00:01:31] Telephone exchanges click while there's nobody there

[00:01:37] The Martians could land in the car park and no one would care

[00:01:44] Close-circuit cameras in department stores

[00:01:48] Shoot the same movie every day

[00:01:51] And the stars of these films neither die nor get killed

[00:01:54] Just survive constant action replay

[00:01:59] Nothing ever happens nothing happens at all

[00:02:06] The needle returns to the start of the song

[00:02:09] And we all sing along like before

[00:02:13] And we'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow

[00:02:43] Bill hoardings advertise products that nobody needs

[00:02:50] While Angry from Manchester writes to complain about

[00:02:53] All the repeats on TV

[00:02:57] And computer terminals report some gains

[00:03:00] On the values of copper and tin

[00:03:03] While American businessmen snap up Van Goghs

[00:03:07] For the price of a hospital wing

[00:03:12] Nothing ever happens nothing happens at all

[00:03:19] The needle returns to the start of the song

[00:03:22] And we all sing along like before

[00:03:25] Nothing ever happens nothing happens at all

[00:03:32] They'll burn down the synagogues at six o'clock

[00:03:35] And we'll all go along like before

[00:03:38] And we'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow
