[ar:Otto] |
| [00:00.00] |
Post office clerks put up signs saying position closed |
| [00:16.38] |
And secretaries turn off typewriters and put on their coats |
| [00:20.63] |
Janitors padlock the gates |
| [00:22.12] |
For security guards to patrol |
| [00:24.37] |
And bachelors phone up their friends for a drink |
| [00:29.23] |
While the married ones turn on a chat show |
| [00:31.20] |
And they'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow |
| [00:38.76] |
Gentlemen time please,you know we can't serve anymore |
| [00:44.31] |
Now the traffic lights change to stop,when there's nothing to go |
| [00:51.14] |
And by five o'clock everything's dead |
| [00:57.44] |
And every third car is a cab |
| [01:01.14] |
And ignorant people sleep in their beds |
| [01:05.87] |
Like the doped white mice in the college lab |
| [01:08.17] |
Nothing ever happens,nothing happens at all |
| [01:17.13] |
The needle returns to the start of the song |
| [01:21.03] |
And we all sing along like before |
| [01:23.13] |
And we'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow |
| [01:27.69] |
Telephone exchanges click while there's nobody there |
| [01:35.29] |
The Martians could land in the carpark and no one would care |
| [01:42.64] |
Close-circuit cameras in department stores shoot the same video every day |
| [01:50.58] |
And the stars of these films neither die nor get killed |
| [01:54.53] |
Just survive constant action replay |
| [01:56.39] |
Nothing ever happens,nothing happens at all |
| [02:04.99] |
The needle returns to the start of the song |
| [02:09.60] |
And we all sing along like before |
| [02:13.41] |
And we'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow |
| [02:16.21] |
Bill hoardings advertise products that nobody needs |
| [02:45.15] |
While angry from Manchester writes to complain about |
| [02:53.75] |
All the repeats on T.V. |
| [02:55.30] |
And computer terminals report some gains |
| [03:00.61] |
On the values of copper and tin |
| [03:02.41] |
While American businessmen snap up Van Goghs |
| [03:06.96] |
For the price of a hospital wing |
| [03:08.56] |
Nothing ever happens,nothing happens at all |
| [03:17.36] |
The needle returns to the start of the song |
| [03:21.46] |
And we all sing along like before |
| [03:23.26] |
Nothing ever happens,nothing happens at all |
| [03:30.48] |
They'll burn down the synagogues at six o'clock |
| [03:34.63] |
And we'll all go along like before |
| [03:36.63] |
And we'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow |
