    Verse 1
    Post 
    office 
    clerks 
    put 
    up 
    signs 

    saying 
    "position 
    closed" 

    And 
    secretaries 
    turn 
    off 
    typewriters 

    and 
    put 
    on 
    their 
    coats 

    And 
    janitors 
    padlock 
    the 
    gates 

    for 
    se
    curity 
    guards 
    to 
    pa
    trol 

    And 
    bachelors 
    phone 
    up 
    their 
    friends 

    for 
    a 
    drink 

    While 
    the 
    married 
    ones 
    turn 
    on 
    a 
    chat 
    show 

    And 
    they'll 
    all 
    be 
    lonely 
    to
    night 

    and 
    lonely 
    to
    morrow 

    Verse 2
    Gentlemen, 
    time 
    please, 

    you 
    know 
    we 
    can't 
    serve 
    any
    more 

    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 
    beds 

    Like 
    the 
    doped 
    white 
    mice 
    in 
    the 
    college 
    lab 

    Chorus 1
    And 
    nothing 
    ever 
    happens, 

    nothing 
    happens 
    at 
    all 

    The 
    needle 
    returns 
    to 
    the 
    start 
    of 
    the 
    song 

    And 
    we 
    all 
    sing 
    along 
    like 
    be
    fore 

    And 
    we'll 
    all 
    be 
    lonely 
    to
    night 

    and 
    lonely 
    to
    morrow 

    Verse 3
    Telephone 
    exchanges 
    click 

    while 
    there's 
    nobody 
    there 

    The 
    Martians 
    could 
    land 
    in 
    the 
    car 
    park 

    and 
    no 
    one 
    would 
    care 

    Close-circuit 
    cameras 
    in 
    department 
    stores 

    shoot 
    the 
    same 
    movie 
    every 
    day 

    And 
    the 
    stars 
    of 
    these 
    films 
    neither 
    die 

    nor 
    get 
    killed 

    Just 
    sur
    vive 
    constant 
    action 
    re
    play 

    Chorus 2
    And 
    nothing 
    ever 
    happens, 

    nothing 
    happens 
    at 
    all 

    The 
    needle 
    returns 
    to 
    the 
    start 
    of 
    the 
    song 

    And 
    we 
    all 
    sing 
    along 
    like 
    be
    fore 

    And 
    we'll 
    all 
    be 
    lonely 
    to
    night 

    and 
    lonely 
    to
    morrow

    Verse 4
    And 
    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 

    In 
    the 
    values 
    of 
    copper 
    and 
    tin 

    While 
    American 
    businessmen 

    snap 
    up 
    Van 
    Goghs 

    For 
    the 
    price 
    of 
    a 
    hospital 
    wing 

    Chorus 3
    And 
    nothing 
    ever 
    happens, 

    nothing 
    happens 
    at 
    all 

    The 
    needle 
    returns 
    to 
    the 
    start 
    of 
    the 
    song 

    And 
    we 
    all 
    sing 
    along 
    like 
    be
    fore 

    Chorus 4
    And 
    nothing 
    ever 
    happens, 

    nothing 
    happens 
    at 
    all 

    They'll 
    burn 
    down 
    the 
    synagogues 

    at 
    six 
    o'clock 

    And 
    we'll 
    all 
    go 
    along 
    like 
    be
    fore 

    And 
    we'll 
    all 
    be 
    lonely 
    to
    night 

    and 
    lonely 
    to
    morrow

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      "

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
