[00:07.42]Post office clerks put up signs saying position closed
[00:11.23]
[00:13.72]And secretaries turn off typewriters and put on their coats
[00:17.97]
[00:20.34]Janitors padlock the gates
[00:23.58]For security guards to patrol
[00:26.21]
[00:27.27]And bachelors phone up their friends for a drink
[00:30.32]While the married ones turn on a chat show
[00:33.20]
[00:35.50]And they'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow
[00:40.00]
[00:42.68]Gentlemen time please you know we can't serve anymore
[00:46.72]
[00:48.97]Now the traffic lights change to stop when there's nothing to go
[00:53.21]
[00:55.71]And by five o'clock everything's dead
[00:57.32]
[00:59.04]And every third car is a cab
[01:01.91]
[01:02.66]And ignorant people sleep in their beds
[01:05.79]Like the doped white mice in the college lab
[01:09.09]
[01:11.15]Nothing ever happens nothing happens at all
[01:16.77]
[01:17.82]The needle returns to the start of the song
[01:21.07]And we all sing along like before
[01:23.57]
[01:24.25]And we'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow
[01:28.85]
[01:31.35]Telephone exchanges click while there's nobody there
[01:35.32]
[01:37.94]The Martians could land in the car park and no one would care
[01:41.65]
[01:44.83]Close-circuit cameras in department stores
[01:48.20]Shoot the same movie every day
[01:50.57]
[01:51.20]And the stars of these films neither die nor get killed
[01:54.69]Just survive constant action replay
[01:58.01]
[01:59.82]Nothing ever happens nothing happens at all
[02:05.39]
[02:06.63]The needle returns to the start of the song
[02:09.82]And we all sing along like before
[02:12.31]
[02:13.06]And we'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow
[02:17.38]
[02:43.72]Bill hoardings advertise products that nobody needs
[02:47.77]
[02:50.39]While Angry from Manchester writes to complain about
[02:53.90]All the repeats on TV
[02:56.71]
[02:57.34]And computer terminals report some gains
[03:00.52]On the values of copper and tin
[03:03.39]While American businessmen snap up Van Goghs
[03:07.37]For the price of a hospital wing
[03:10.06]
[03:12.37]Nothing ever happens nothing happens at all
[03:17.98]
[03:19.42]The needle returns to the start of the song
[03:22.29]And we all sing along like before
[03:24.86]
[03:25.67]Nothing ever happens nothing happens at all
[03:31.01]
[03:32.39]They'll burn down the synagogues at six o'clock
[03:35.56]And we'll all go along like before
[03:38.06]
[03:38.81]And we'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow
[03:43.44]
[03:46.31]
