[00:00.00]Nothing Ever Happens (Currie) - Friends Of Carlotta
[00:17.46]Post office clerks put up signs
[00:19.37]Saying position closed
[00:21.53]
[00:24.42]And secretaries turn off typewriters
[00:27.06]And put on their coats
[00:29.50]
[00:31.55]And janitors padlock the gates
[00:34.87]For security guards to patrol
[00:37.83]
[00:38.91]And bachelors phone up their friends for a drink
[00:42.16]While the married ones turn on a chat show
[00:45.62]
[00:47.79]And they'll all be lonely tonight
[00:50.76]And lonely tomorrow
[00:52.86]
[00:59.06]And gentlemen time please
[01:00.70]You know we can't serve anymore
[01:03.93]
[01:05.77]Now the traffic lights change to stop
[01:08.37]When there's nothing to go
[01:11.16]
[01:12.93]And by five O' clock everything's dead
[01:15.44]
[01:16.75]And every third car is a cab
[01:19.28]
[01:20.17]And ignorant people sleep in their beds
[01:23.33]Like the doped white mice in the college labs
[01:27.51]
[01:28.94]And nothing ever happens
[01:32.02]
[01:33.36]Nothing happens at all
[01:35.23]
[01:36.03]Well the needle returns to the start of the song
[01:39.45]And we all sing along like before
[01:42.37]
[01:44.98]And we'll all be lonely tonight
[01:47.92]And lonely tomorrow
[01:50.24]
[01:56.17]And telephone exchanges click
[01:58.34]While there's nobody there
[02:01.49]
[02:02.98]Now the Martians could land in the car park
[02:05.84]And no one would care
[02:08.46]
[02:09.98]And closed-circuit cameras in department stores
[02:13.43]Shoot the same movie every day
[02:16.23]
[02:17.13]And the stars of these films neither die nor get killed
[02:20.77]Just survive constant action replay
[02:25.62]
[02:26.30]And nothing ever happens nothing happens at all
[02:32.61]
[02:33.15]Well the needle returns to the start of the song
[02:36.48]And we all sing along like before
[02:39.54]
[02:41.97]And we'll all be lonely tonight
[02:44.99]And lonely tomorrow
[02:47.44]
[02:53.04]Now bill hoardings advertise products that nobody needs
[02:57.71]
[02:59.85]While angry from Manchester writes to complain about
[03:03.70]
[03:04.37]All the repeats on T V
[03:06.89]And computer terminals
[03:09.04]Report some gains on the values of copper and tin
[03:14.06]While American businessmen snap up Van Goghs
[03:17.75]
[03:18.69]For the price of a hospital wing
[03:24.69]
[03:25.41]And nothing ever happens
[03:28.42]
[03:29.65]Nothing happens at all
[03:31.49]
[03:32.24]Well the needle returns to the start of the song
[03:35.63]And we all sing along like before
[03:38.88]
[03:40.86]And nothing ever happens
[03:44.57]
[03:45.51]Nothing happens at all
[03:47.74]
[03:48.30]They'll burn down the synagogues at six O' clock
[03:51.71]And we'll all go along like before
[03:54.84]
[03:56.97]And we'll all be lonely tonight
[04:00.23]And lonely tomorrow
[04:02.33]
[04:04.52]Yes we'll all be lonely tonight
[04:07.38]And lonely tomorrow
[04:09.58]
[04:11.69]And we'll all be lonely tonight
[04:14.60]And lonely tomorrow
