Manfred Mann's Earth Band - Nothing Ever Happens Lyrics
Post office clerk puts up a sign saying "Position Closed" and secretariesturn off typewriters and put on their coats.Janitors padlock the gates for security guards to patrol and bachelors phoneup their friends for a drink while the married ones turn on a chat show andthey'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow.CHORUS:And Nothing Ever Happens, nothing happens at all, the needle returns to thestart of the song and we all sing along like before. And we'll all be lonelytonight and lonely tomorrow.Telephone exchanges click while there's nobody there, the Martians couldland in the car park and no one would care. Closed circut cameras indepartment stores shoot the same movie every day and the stars of thesefilms neither die nor get killed, just survive constant action replay.Repeat chorusBy five o'clock everything's dead and every third car is a cab. Ignorantpeople sleep intheir beds like the doped white mice in the college lab.Repeat Chorus(J. Currie) Polygram Music Publishing Ltd
