0Post office clerks put up signs saying 'Position Closed'
F2                                                     Dm73
1And secretaries turn off typewriters and put on their coats
A#4                    F5            C6                A#7
2Janitors padlock the gates for security guards to patrol
                              F8
3And bachelors phone up their friends for a drink
           C9                     A#10
4While the married ones turn on a chat show
            F11              A#12                  F13
5And they'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow

9Now the traffic lights change to stop when there's nothing to go
A#		                  F16
10And by five' o' clock everything's dead
C		     A#17
11And every third car is a cab,
		F18
12And ignorant people sleep in there beds
	C		   A#19
13Like the doped white mice in the college lab

15Chorus:
 F20           A#21        F22                  A#23
16Nothing ever happens, nothing happens at all:
    Dm24                    A#25
17The needle returns to the start of the song
       C26                   A#27
18And we all sing along like before
           F28             A#29                 F30
19And we'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow

23The Martians could land in the car park and no one could care
    A#		             F34
24The close-circuit cameras in department stores
25          C	           A#		
26Shoot the same movie everyday
                                     F35
27And the stars of these films neither die nor get killed
         C			 A#36     F37   Gm38 C39
28Just to survive constant action replay

32Bill hoardings advertise products that nobody needs
       F				                Dm750
33While 'Angry from Manchester' writes to complain about all the repeats on TV
    A#		      F51
34And computer terminals report
                  C52                    A#53
35Some gains on the values of copper and tin,
			    F54
36While American businessmen snap up Van Goghs
         C55                  A#56    F57    Gm58 C59  			
37For the price of a hospital wing
