Nothing Ever Happens

Post office clerks put up signs

Saying, 'Position Closed'

And secretaries turn off typewriters

And put on their coatsJanitors 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 showAnd theyll all be lonely tonight

And lonely tomorrowGentlemen, time please

You know we cant serve anymore

Now the traffic lights change to 'Stop'

When theres nothing to goAnd by five Oclock everythings dead

And every third car is a cab

And ignorant people sleep in their beds

Like the doped white mice in the college labAnd nothing ever happens

Nothing happens at all

The needle returns to the start of the song

And we all sing along like before

And well all be lonely tonight

And lonely tomorrowTelephone exchanges click

While theres nobody there

The Martians could land in the car park

And no one would careClose-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 replayAnd nothing ever happens

Nothing happens at all

The needle returns to the start of the song

And we all sing along like before

And well all be lonely tonight

And lonely tomorrowAnd 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 wingAnd nothing ever happens

Nothing happens at all

The needle returns to the start of the song

And we all sing along like beforeAnd nothing ever happens

Nothing happens at all

Theyll burn down the synagogues at six oclock

And well all go along like before

And well all be lonely tonight

And lonely tomorrow
