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.

D Bm
Post office clerks put up signs saying position closed
D Bm
And secretaries turn off typewriters and put on their coats
G D
Janitors padlock the gates
A Bm
For security guards to patrol
G D
And bachelors phone up their friends for a drink
A G
While the married ones turn on a chat show
Prechorus
D G D
And they'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow
Verse 2
D Bm
Gentlemen time please you know we can't serve any more
D Bm
Now the traffic lights stop when theres nothing to go

And by five o clock everythings dead
A Bm
And every third car is a cab
G D
And ignorant people sleep in there beds
A Bm
Like the dope white mice in the college lab

Nothing ever happens, nothing happens at all

And we all sing along like before
D G D
And we'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow
D Bm
Telephone exchanges click while theres nobody there
D Bm
The martians could land in the car park and no-one would care
G D
Close-circuit cameras in department stores
A Bm
Shoot the same movie every night
G D
And the stars of these films neither died nor get killed
A Bm
Just to survive constant action replay

Nothing ever happens, nothing happens at all

On the value of copper and tin
G D
While American businessmen snap up van Goths
A Bm
For the price of a hospital wing

Nothing ever happens, nothing happens at all
