[F]
Post office clerks put up signs saying position [Dm] closed
And
[F] secretaries turn off typewriters and put on [Dm] their coats
[Bb] Janitors [F] padlock the gates [C] for security guards to [Bb] patrol
And bachelors [F] phone up their friends for a drink [C] while the married ones turn on [Bb] a chat show
And [F] they'll all be [Bb] lonely tonight and lonely [F] tomorrow
Gentlemen, time please, you know we can't serve [Dm] anymore
Now [F] the traffic lights change to stop when there's nothing [Dm] to go
And [Bb] by five o'clock [F] everything's dead [C] and every third car is [Bb] a cab
And ignorant people [F] sleep in their beds [C] like the dope white mice [Bb] in the college lab
[F] And nothing [Bb] ever happens, [F] nothing [Bb] happens at all
[Dm] The needle returns [Bb] to the start of the [C] song and we all sing along like [Bb] before
And [F] we'll all be lonely [Bb] tonight and [F] lonely tomorrow
Telephone exchanges click [C] while there's [Dm] nobody there
[F] The martians could land in the car park and no [Dm] one would care
Closed
[Bb] circuit [F] cameras and dip-op and stores [C] should be seen moving every [Bb] day
And the stars of these films [F] neither die nor get killed, [C] just survive constant [Bb] action replay
[F] [Bb] And [F] nothing [Bb] ever happens, [F] nothing [Bb] happens at all
[Dm] The needle returns [Bb] to the start of the song and [C] we all sing along [Bb] like before
[F] And we'll all be lonely [Bb] tonight and lonely [F] tomorrow

Bill Holdings advertise products that [Dm] nobody needs
[F] While anger from Manchester writes to complain [Dm] about all the repeats on TV
[Bb] And computer [F] terminals report some [C] gains in the values of copper [Bb] and tin
While American [F] businessmen snap up bang-offs [C] for the price of a [Bb] hospital ring
[F] And nothing [Bb] ever happens, [F] nothing happens at [Bb] all
[Dm] The needle returns [Bb] to the start of the song [C] and we all sing along [Bb] like before
[F] And nothing [Bb] ever happens, [F] nothing [Bb] happens at all
[Dm] They'll burn down the [Bb] synagogues at six o'clock and [C] we'll all go along like [Bb] before
[F] And we'll all be lonely [Bb] tonight and lonely [F] tomorrow
