I sometimes feel when we're together baby

Everything has turned out wrong

And I know you feel exactly the same way

But sill we carry on

I've been waiting up by the window

Watching these cars go by

And I tell myself that I'll go through the motion

For the last time tonight

So come on babe, let's kiss this thing goodbye, Let's kis this thing goodbye

Now I'm watching the tunes foul up the sunrise

I'm watching the lights fade away

And I'm hoping tonight that I'll open the door

And you'll stand here and say

Come on babe, let's kiss this thing

Come on babe, let's kiss this thing goodbye

Better make it sooner than later Before it all turns sour

Don't you know we'd better kiss this thing goodbye, Come on babe, let's kiss thi

Nothing Ever Happens

Post office clerks put up signs saying position closed

And secretaries turn off typewriters and put on their coats

Janitors padlock the gates

For security guards to patrol

And bachelors phone up their friends for a drink

While the married ones turn on a chat show

And they'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow

Gentlemen time please, you know we can't serve anymore

Now the traffic lights change to stop, when there's nothing to go

And by five o'clock everything's dead

And every third car is a cab

And ignorant people sleep in their bed

Like the doped white mice in the college lab

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 carpark and no one would care

Close-circuit cameras in department stores

Shoot the same movie everyday

And the stars of these films neither die nor get killed

Just survive constant action replay

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

Bill hoardings advertise products that nobody needs

While angry from Manchester writes to complain about

All the repeats on TV

And computer terminals report some gains

In the values of copper and tin

While American businessmen snap up Van Goghs

For the price of a hospital wing

Nothing ever happens, nothing happens at all

The needle returns to the start of the song

And we all sing along like before

Nothing ever happens, nothing happens at all

They'll burn down the synagogues at six o'clock

And we'll all go along like before
