Gerry Rafferty - Nothing Ever Happens Down HereLyrics

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)
