歌词

[00:07.42] Post office clerks put up signs saying position closed
[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.
