Nothing Ever Happens Del Amitri
--------------------
[F]Post office clerks put up signs saying position cl[Dm]osed
[F]And secretaries turn off typewriters and put on their c[Dm]oats
J[Bb]anitors padlock the g[F]ates
For se[C]curity guards to patr[Bb]ol
And b[Bb]achelors phone up their fr[F]iends for a drink
While the ma[C]rried ones turn on a cha[Bb]t show
And the[F]y'll all be lonely toni[Bb]ght and lonely tomo[F]rrow
(snip)
N[F]othing ever h[Bb]appens, n[F]othing happens at [Bb]all
The n[Dm]eedle returns to the st[Bb]art of the song
And we [C]all sing along like bef[Bb]ore
And we'll a[F]ll be lonely toni[Bb]ght and lonely tomo[F]rrow
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
