Nothing ever happens!

We have just returned from two weeks holiday in Cornwall, very relaxing and enjoyable,will share more later.But do you ever come home after a break and expect changes, I for some strange reason think major developments would have sprung up overnight or the issues left behind may have been addressed. Then you arrive home there is a pile of mail to sort through, mainly junk, the grass and weeds have grown but nothing seems to have changed.

As a christian,I beleive change comes from within and before we expect the world or others to, perhaps we should be looking in the mirror, it's a good place to start.

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 cant serve anymore

Now the traffic lights change to stop,

when theres nothing to go

And by five o'clock everythings dead

And every third car is a cab

And ignorant people sleep in their beds

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 'all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow

Telephone exchanges click while theres nobody there

The martians could land in the carpark

and no one would care

Close-circuit cameras in department stores shoot the same video every day

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' 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 t.v.

And computer terminals report some gains

On 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 oclock

And well all go along like before

And we' all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow
