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. |
