Manfred Mann's Earth Band - Nothing Ever Happens - Текст песни

Post office clerk puts up signs saying "Position closed"

And secretaries turn off typewriters and put on their coats

Janitors padlock the gate for security guards to patrol

And bachelors phone up their friends for a drink

While the married ones turn on a chat show

They will all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow

And nothing ever happens, nothing happens at all

The needle returns to the start of the song

And we all sing along like before

And we'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow

Telephone exchanges click while there's nobody there

The Martians could land in the car park and no one would care

Closed circuit cameras in department stores

Shoot the same movies every day

And the stars of these films neither die or get killed

Just survive constant action replay

And nothing ever happens, nothing happens at all

The needle returns to the start of the song

And we all sing along like before

And we'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow

By five o'clock everything's dead

And every third car is a cab

Ignorant people sleep in their beds

Like the doped white mice in the college lab

And nothing ever happens, nothing happens at all

The needle returns to the start of the song

And we all sing along like before

And we'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow
