Nothing Ever Happens Down Here Lyrics - Gerry Rafferty

I like the trees and the birds and the bees 

I'm a sucker for peace and quiet 

But two weeks alone in this sweet little home 

And I feel like starting a riot 

I've been stuck in this old house too long 

I need a little change of atmosphere 

Let's go little darlin', nothin' ever happens down here. 

I greet the day in my usual way 

On my brow there's one more wrinkle 

I can't speak, I ain't shaved in a week 

And I look like Rip Van Winkle 

We've got people in this neighbourhood 

Who've been sleeping for a thousand years 

Let's go little darlin', nothin' ever happens down here.

Let's take a train, or a boat and a plane 

And go all the way to China 

Let's stay alive till a hundred and five 

Well nothing could be finer 

I want to make sweet love to you, beneath a silver moon. 

Same old scene on the T.V. screen 

There's an inner city burning 

It's dog eat dog, live high on the hog 

But the lady's not for turning 

We've got violence on the picket lines 

And police in their riot gear 

Let's go little darlin', nothin' ever happens down here. 

Let's take a train, or a boat and a plane 

And go all the way to China 

Let's stay alive till a hundred and five 

Well nothing could be finer 

I want to make sweet love to you, beneath a silver moon.

I like the trees and the birds and the bees 

I'm a sucker for peace and quiet 

But two weeks alone in this sweet little home 

And I feel like starting a riot 

Let's take a trip up north, to Sauchiehall Street 

And wish everyone a happy new year 

Let's go little darlin', nothin' ever happens down here. 

Let's go little darlin', nothin' ever happens down here 

Let's go little darlin', nothin' ever happens down here 

(dog ate the dog, the cat ate the mouse)
