Nothing Ever Happens Lyrics - Manfred Mann's Earth Band

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
