Boomtown Rats - Nothing Happened Today lyrics

rate me

Turn on the TV

Turn on the radio.

Turn down that sound

Turn down that sound

Open the curtains

Open the windows.

What's happening around

What's happening around

I'll do some washing

I might go shopping

I'm going downtown

I'm going downtown

Someone told me, "nothing happened today."

I woke up late

I had a headache

I went back to sleep

Go back to sleep

I stood there waiting

Waiting for something

There wasn't a thing

Not even one thing

Someone told me, "nothing happened today."

Harry Hooper living in No. 10

Bought a toupee and glued it to his head

"It looks very natural," everybody said.

But then his wife said "Toupee, isn't that a French word?"

And Harry said, "Ole." She said, "That's a Spanish word."

And he said "O.K., can't tell the difference these days."

I watched TV

Cos I wanted to see

The late news at 10

It came on and then

She shuffled her papers

She swivelled in her chair

She looked up and said

The weather was fair

And then it turned cold

It started to rain

Pouring with rain.

Some people died

Some people were born

And some stayed the same

And some went insane

Tomorrow's Wednesday

Today was Tuesday

And this is the date

March 28th

It was the morning

Then afternoon

And then the night came

And then the night came

Oh...and someone told me, "Nothing happened today."

Yes, someone told me, "Nothing happened today."

It happened today.
