Nothing Happened Today Lyrics - The Fine Art Of Surfacing - Boomtown Rats

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 

Until someone told me 

"Nothing happened today" 

And then 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 

Until someone told me 

"Nothing happened today" 

And then 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, "Okay 

Can't tell the difference these days" 

I watched TV 

I wanted to see 

The late news at 10 

It came on and then 

She shuffled her papers 

She swiveled in her chair 

She looked up and she said 

The weather was fair 

And then it turned cold 

It started to rain 

Pouring with rain 

Today's Thursday 

Tomorrow's Friday 

And this is the date 

It's March 28th 

And some people died 

And some people were born 

And some stayed the same 

And some went insane 

It was the morning 

Then afternoon 

And then the night came 

And then the night came 

Until someone told me 

"Nothing happened today" 

Someone told me 

"Nothing happened today" 

Someone told me 

"Nothing happened 

Someone told me 

"Nothing happened 

Someone told me 

"Nothing happened today" 

Yeah, yeah 

It happened today
