Option	Votes
And we'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow	2
While "Angry from Manchester" writes to complain about	2
While American businessmen snap up Van Goghs	2
The needle returns to the start of the song	2
And the stars of these films neither die nor get killed	1
For security guards to patrol	1
And bill hoardings advertise products that nobody needs	1
And every third car is a cab	1
Just survive constant action replay	0
And we'll all go along like before	0
All the repeats on TV	0
Computer terminals report some gains in the values of copper and tin	0
They'll burn down the synagogues at six o'clock	0
For the price of a hospital wing	0
And nothing ever happens, nothing happens at all	0
And we all sing along like before	0
Shoot the same movie every day	0
And secretaries turn off typewriters and put on their coats	0
And janitors padlock the gates	0
And bachelors phone up their friends for a drink	0
While the married ones turn on a chat show	0
Gentlemen time please, you know we can't serve anymore	0
Now the traffic lights change to stop, when there's nothing to go	0
And by five o'clock everything's dead	0
And ignorant people sleep in their beds	0
Like the doped white mice in the college lab	0
Telephone exchanges click while there's nobody there	0
The Martians could land in the car park and no one would care	0
Closed-circuit cameras in department stores	0
Post office clerks put up signs saying 'position closed'	0

So often, for years afterwards, I'd walk home of a night, and look at the cars passing, counting the cab/car ratio, thanks to this.

Dud, in general, though, for being way too close to my old already written (at that time) song, "(Nothing ever happens in) Happen Street"
