Post office clerks
put 11p signs saying
position closed
And secretaries
turn off typewriters
and put on
their coats
Janitors padlock

the gates
And they'll all be

lonely tonight and
lonely tomorrow
Gentlemen time
please you know
we can't serve

anymore

g
Now the name lights

change to stop
When there's

nothing to go
And by 5 o'clock

everything's dead
And ignorant people
Sleep in their beds
Like the doped

White mice in

the college lab
And nothing

ever happens
The needle retlu'ns
t0 the start
of the song
And we all sing

along like before
And we'll all be

lonely tonight and
lonely tomorrow
The telephone

exchanges click
while there's
nobody there

g
The Martians
could land in the
car park and
110 one would care
Close- circuit
cameras in
department stores
shoot the same

movie every day l
And the stars of
these iilms neither
die nor get killed
Just survive constant
action replay
And nothing

ever-happens
The needle retlu'ns
t0 the start
of the song
And we all sing

along like before
And we'll all be

lonely tonight and
lonely tomorrow

And bill hoardjngs
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 l

businessmen snap
up Van Coghs
for the price of

a hospital wing
And nothing

ever happens

They'll blu'n down
the synagogues
at 6 o'clock
And we'll all go

along like before
And we'll all be

lonely tonight and
lonely iomorrow
