Del Amitri - Nothing ever happens

^FPost office clerks put up signs saying 'Position Clo^Dm7sed' ^FAnd secretaries turn off typewriters and put on their ^Dm7coats ^BbJanitors padlock the g^Fates for secu^Crity guards to pa^Bbtrol And bachelors phone up their f^Friends for a drink While the m^Carried ones turn on a ^Bbchat show And they'll ^Fall be lonely t^Bbonight and lonely to^Fmorrow

^F'Gentlemen, tim^Dm7e please, you know we can't serve any more' ^FNow the traffic light^Dm7s change to stop when there's nothing to go ^BbAnd by five' o' clock ev^Ferything's dead ^CAnd every ^Bbthird car is a cab, And ^Fignorant people sleep in there beds Li^Cke the d^Bboped white mice in the college lab

N^Fothing ever ^Bbhappens, n^Fothing happens at a^Bbll: The ^Dmneedle returns to the ^Bbstart of the song And we ^Call sing along like ^Bbbefore And we'll a^Fll be lonely t^Bbonight and lonely t^Fomorrow

^FTelephone exchange^Cs clic^Dm7k while there's nobody there The M^Fartians could land in the ca^Dm7r park and no one could care The ^Bbclose-circuit camer^Fas in department stores Shoot the ^Csame movie eve^Bbryday And the stars of these films neither ^Fdie nor get killed Just to s^Curvive c^Bbonstant^F act^Gmion^C replay

^FBill hoardings a^Dm7dvertise products that nobody needs While '^FAngry from Manchester' wr^Dm7ites to complain about all the repeats on TV And ^Bbcomputer ter^Fminals report Some gains on the ^Cvalues of copper and ^Bbtin, While Amer^Fican businessmen snap up Van Goghs For the p^Crice of a hospital ^Bbwing ^{F Gm C}
