paroles de chanson Nothing Ever Happens - Manfred Mann's Earth Band

Post Office clerks put up signs saying "Position Closed"
And secretaries turn off typewriters and put on their coats
And janitors padlock the gates
For security guards to patrol
And bachelors call-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 when 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 movie as every day
And the stars of these films neither die or get killed
They survive constant action replays

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 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

We will all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow
(Nothing happens, happens at all)
Oh-oh, oh-oh
(Nothing happens)
Nothing ever happens
(Happens at all)
(Nothing ever happens)
(Nothing happens at all)
(Nothing ever happens, nothing happens at all)
(Nothing ever happens)
