Post office clerks put up signs saying position closed[00:00:07]
And secretaries turn off typewriters and put on their coats[00:00:13]
Janitors padlock the gates[00:00:20]
For security guards to patrol[00:00:23]
And bachelors phone up their friends for a drink[00:00:27]
While the married ones turn on a chat show[00:00:30]
And they'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow[00:00:35]
Gentlemen time please you know we can't serve anymore[00:00:42]
Now the traffic lights change to stop when there's nothing to go[00:00:48]
And by five o'clock everything's dead[00:00:55]
And every third car is a cab[00:00:59]
And ignorant people sleep in their beds[00:01:02]
Like the doped white mice in the college lab[00:01:05]
Nothing ever happens nothing happens at all[00:01:11]
The needle returns to the start of the song[00:01:17]
And we all sing along like before[00:01:21]
And we'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow[00:01:24]
Telephone exchanges click while there's nobody there[00:01:31]
The Martians could land in the car park and no one would care[00:01:37]
Close-circuit cameras in department stores[00:01:44]
Shoot the same movie every day[00:01:48]
And the stars of these films neither die nor get killed[00:01:51]
Just survive constant action replay[00:01:54]
Nothing ever happens nothing happens at all[00:01:59]
The needle returns to the start of the song[00:02:06]
And we all sing along like before[00:02:09]
And we'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow[00:02:13]
Bill hoardings advertise products that nobody needs[00:02:43]
While Angry from Manchester writes to complain about[00:02:50]
All the repeats on TV[00:02:53]
And computer terminals report some gains[00:02:57]
On the values of copper and tin[00:03:00]
While American businessmen snap up Van Goghs[00:03:03]
For the price of a hospital wing[00:03:07]
Nothing ever happens nothing happens at all[00:03:12]
The needle returns to the start of the song[00:03:19]
And we all sing along like before[00:03:22]
Nothing ever happens nothing happens at all[00:03:25]
They'll burn down the synagogues at six o'clock[00:03:32]
And we'll all go along like before[00:03:35]
And we'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow [00:03:38]
