Gerry Rafferty - Nothing Ever Happens Down Here Lyrics
I like the trees and the birds and the beesI'm a sucker for peace and quietBut two weeks alone in this sweet little homeAnd I feel like starting a riotI've been stuck in this old house too longI need a little change of atmosphereLet's go little darlin', nothin' ever happens down here.I greet the day in my usual wayOn my brow there's one more wrinkleI can't speak, I ain't shaved in a weekAnd I look like Rip Van WinkleWe've got people in this neighbourhoodWho've been sleeping for a thousand yearsLet's go little darlin', nothin' ever happens down here.Let's take a train, or a boat and a planeAnd go all the way to ChinaLet's stay alive till a hundred and fiveWell nothing could be finerI want to make sweet love to you, beneath a silver moon.Same old scene on the T.V. screenThere's an inner city burningIt's dog eat dog, live high on the hogBut the lady's not for turningWe've got violence on the picket linesAnd police in their riot gearLet's go little darlin', nothin' ever happens down here.Let's take a train, or a boat and a planeAnd go all the way to ChinaLet's stay alive till a hundred and fiveWell nothing could be finerI want to make sweet love to you, beneath a silver moon.I like the trees and the birds and the beesI'm a sucker for peace and quietBut two weeks alone in this sweet little homeAnd I feel like starting a riotLet's take a trip up north, to Sauchiehall StreetAnd wish everyone a happy new yearLet's go little darlin', nothin' ever happens down here.Let's go little darlin', nothin' ever happens down hereLet's go little darlin', nothin' ever happens down here(dog ate the dog, the cat ate the mouse)Drums/Percussion: Arran AhmunBass Guitar: Pete ZornKeyboards: Gerry RaffertyElectric Guitars: Jerry DonahueFiddles: Rick SandersAccordion: Geraint WatkinsVocals: Gerry Rafferty
