KISS THIS THING GOODBYE
Del Amitri
Intro: G C/G (3 times) D7
G It seems like weeks since you C/G looked to me baby
Witho G ut that look of dis C/G taste
G I don't know why your C/G feelings are changing
But I've D7 seen it in your face
G All these times when C/G our lips were kissing
Our G tongues were telling D7 lies
And G all those signs C/G I've been missing
Were A7 right there in your D7 eyes
So C come on babe, let's kiss this thing good G bye
C Let's kiss this thing good G bye C
I sometimes feel when we're together baby
Everything has turned out wrong
And I know you feel exactly the same way
But sill we carry on
I've been waiting up by the window
Watching these cars go by
And I tell myself that I'll go through the motion
For the last time tonight
So come on babe, let's kiss this thing goodbye, Let's kis this thing goodbye
Now I'm watching the tunes foul up the sunrise
I'm watching the lights fade away
And I'm hoping tonight that I'll open the door
And you'll stand here and say
Come on babe, let's kiss this thing
Come on babe, let's kiss this thing goodbye
Better make it sooner than later Before it all turns sour
Don't you know we'd better kiss this thing goodbye, Come on babe, let's kiss thi
s thing

Nothing Ever Happens
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 can't serve anymore
Now the traffic lights change to stop, when there's nothing to go
And by five o'clock everything's dead
And every third car is a cab
And ignorant people sleep in their bed
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'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow
Telephone exchanges click while there's nobody there
The Martians could land in the carpark and no one would care
Close-circuit cameras in department stores
Shoot the same movie everyday
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'll 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 TV
And computer terminals report some gains
In 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 o'clock
And we'll all go along like before
And we'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow
Del Amitri
