Biography:
Del Amitri are a guitar-driven pop rock band that formed in Glasgow, Scotland in 1980, internationally known for the 1995 melodic rock hit "Roll to Me". They came together at school as teenagers when Justin Currie (bass and vocals), James Scobbie (guitar and vocals) and Donald Bentley (guitar) formed a band in reaction against the rest of the 'rockers' in the school. The name was chosen deliberately because it didn't mean anything but sounded a bit like someone's name.

[Verse 1]
C Am7
Post office clerks put up signs saying 'Position Closed'
C Am7
And secretaries turn off typewriters and put on their coats
F C G F
Janitors padlock the gates for security guards to patrol
C
And bachelors phone up their friends for a drink
G F
While the married ones turn on a chat show
C F C
And they'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow
C Am7
'Gentlemen, time please, you know we can't serve any more'
C Am7
Now the traffic lights change to stop when there's nothing to go
F C
And by five o' clock everything's dead
G F
And every third car is a cab,
C
And ignorant people sleep in their beds
G F
Like the doped white mice in the college lab
[Chorus]
C F C F
And nothing ever happens, nothing happens at all:
Am F
The needle returns to the start of the song
G F
And we all sing along like before
C F C
And we'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow
[Verse 2]
C G/B Am7
Telephone exchanges click while there's nobody there
C Am7
The Martians could land in the car park and no one would care
F C
The close-circuit cameras in department stores
G F
Shoot the same movie everyday
C
And the stars of these films neither die nor get killed
G F C/E Dm G/B
Just survive constant action replay
[Chorus]
C F C F
And nothing ever happens, nothing happens at all:
Am F
The needle returns to the start of the song
G F
And we all sing along like before
C F C
And we'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow
[Bridge]

[Verse 3]
C Am7
And bill hoardings advertise products that nobody needs
C Am7
While 'Angry from Manchester' writes to complain about all the repeats on TV;
F C
And computer terminals report
G F
Some gains on the values of copper and tin,
C
While American businessmen snap up Van Goghs
G F C/E Dm G/B
For the price of a hospital wing
[Final Chorus]
C F C F
And nothing ever happens, nothing happens at all:
Am F
The needle returns to the start of the song
G F
And we all sing along like before
C F C F
And nothing ever happens, nothing happens at all:
Am F
They'll burn down the synagogues at six o'clock
G F
And we'll all go along like before:
C F C
And we'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow.
