The Boomtown Rats — Nothing Happened Today

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] Uh-oh, someone told me, "nothing happened today" Someone told me, "nothing happened today" [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] Someone told me, "nothing happened today" Someone told me, "nothing happened today" [Bridge] 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." [Keyboard Solo] [Verse 3] I watched TV 'cause 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 said "The weather was fair, and then it turned cold It started to rain, pouring with rain Tomorrow's Wednesday, today was Tuesday And this is the date, March 28th Some people died, 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 [Chorus] Someone told me, "Nothing happened today" Uh-oh, someone told me, "Nothing happened today" Someone told me, "Nothing happened today" Someone told me, "Nothing happened" Someone told me, "Nothing happened today" Someone told me, "Nothing happened" It happened today
