Nothing Ever Happens - Del Amitri

Every power on earth and in heav'n is a shadow in His light No Authority, law or government Challenges His sovereign might His reign And rule have no boundary All that is, His hands have wrought Nothing ever can, nothing ever will, Overcome the Lord our God We are well aware, We were orphans once, Bent and broken in our shame Then He sought us out and adopted us And now we bear his royal Name Every sin or crime we have ever done, Is no match for Jesus' blood Nothing ever Can, nothing ever will, Overcome the Lord our God Nothing Ever Can... (p2) We are rescued out of darkest night, F Ree from Satan's evil hold And the Kingdom of our Savior's light, Is our souls' eternal home Though the enemy tries to steal and kill, What the death of Christ has bought Nothing ever can, Nothing ever will, Overcome the Lord our God Our God is victorious He Always wins, He always wins In love He reigns over us, He always wins, He always wins We, the church, Declare Jesus Christ is king, For He conquered death, Once for all We will live in light of His victory, Following His gospel call And when the story ends, We know Jesus wins, For his power cannot be stopped Nothing ever Can, nothing ever will, Overcome the Lord our God.

Woo! I think that it's time I don't wanna be around Be around Feels so closed and tight Look for places I could run I could run But you don't feel like you lately You're always changing Feeling of denial Been building up for a while! But you don't feel like you lately You're always changing Feeling of denial Been building up for a while! Gone and long forgot Time won't even mean a thing Mean a thing All my words forgot Do you think it's ever enough? Ever enough? But you don't feel like you lately You're always changing Feeling of denial Been building up for a while! But you don't feel like you lately You're always changing Feeling of denial Been building up for a while! But you don't feel like you lately You're always changing Feeling of denial Been building up for a while! But you don't feel like you lately You're always changing Feeling of denial Been building up for a while!

All comes undone The moment it goes my way As soon as I run I'm destined to lose my place And it feels like Nothing ever changes Nothing I can do I've read all the pages I could And it feels like Nothing ever changes Nothing I can do I've read all the pages Nothings ever true 'Talk to the sky Please give it one more chance It won't meet your eyes But someday you will understand Nothing ever changes Nothing I can do I've read all the pages I could But nothing ever changes Nothings ever true I've read all the pages I could I've read all the pages Nothings ever true

Standing in isolation Roadless wilderness Faded and discarded The last leaves' gone Gone... And let me tell you Nothing ever changes Nothing ever changes Farewell to my first love Farewell for all time Pleasure for the loving There they lie Eye to eye. And baby, baby Nothing ever changes Nothing ever changes Lay down Let it break down The hidden tortures To an end... Nothing ever changes Nothing ever changes

Everybody in the funhouse Says they want out But we're taking our time 'Cause we're in love with time Whole generations thinkin' of themselves As infidels and pop stars While the bomb loses patience We line up and just lean against the bar Stone cold sober Looking for bottles of love Stone cold sober Looking for bottles of love Caught in the headlights Wide-eyed and ready to receive We are the dead life Locked in dogfights, lost in disbelief And these dark days Makes the nights seem brighter than they are So, while Fleet Street rolls and the moon glows In the funhouse, the fun starts Stone cold sober Looking for bottles of love We're stone cold sober Looking for bottles of love, love Love We are the dead life, we are the dead life So come on, come on Born in the half-light of threats and bribes In a hopeless porn parade We get the dog's life, tidbits train us What to wear, what not to say When you're footloose and you just feel limbless Life gets in the way So, we get loaded or totally legless But stay the same Stone cold sober Looking for bottles of love We're stone cold sober Looking for bottles of love, love (We're stone cold) stone cold sober Looking for bottles of love We're stone cold sober Looking, looking So come on, come on (Come on, come on) (Come on, come on) We are the dead life, we are the dead life We are the dead life, we are the dead life We are the dead life, we are the dead life We are the dead life, we are the dead life

Find something to do Something worth playing I'm just passing through Don't think I'll be staying 'Cause I promise you I I'll be gone in a second Like teardrop's dried I'll be gone in a second Right out of the blue Just as you're waking I'll be there to give you A little shoulder shaking But I promise you I I'll be gone in a second Like a fleck in your eye It'll be gone in a second A second of love, a second of life A second remembering it right Watching a soul slip out of sight Into the glitter of the night In a second Find something to do Before I wander Into your mind Like a roll of thunder 'Cause I promise you I I'll be gone in a second Like a flash of light It'll be gone in a second I promise you I I'll be gone in a second I promise you I I'll be gone in a second (I'll be there for you) 'Cause I promise you I I'll be gone in a second I promise you I I'll be gone in a second I'll be gone in a second

Hey, I'm with you Let me just get you a light And if we'd thought to listen We might have checked if the weather was right I don't mind if you want to drive all day And hey, it's raining I should have brought my coat Sometimes I could sell my soul Just to sit and watch you smoke And I don't mind if you wanna break my heart 'Cause you can burn paper You can turn a wheel But you can't change later Here and now, just how good we can feel But hey, stop talking Think I can hear the sea And did I tell you, the sound of the surf Makes strange things happen to me? And I don't mind if you wanna crash the car 'Cause you can turn traitor You can turn on your heels But you can't change later Here and now, just how good we can feel And hey, don't worry (don't worry) So that black cat's some kind of curse 'Cause if bad times are coming up ahead Just put us in reverse I don't wanna waste time thinking 'bout it here and now Nothing else matters, but what we' got here and now I don't wanna waste time thinking 'bout it here and now Nothing else matters, but what we got here and now I don't wanna waste time thinking 'bout it here and now Nothing else matters but what we got here and now (you can feel, you can learn) I don't wanna waste time thinking 'bout it here and now Nothing else matters, but what we got here and now (we can feel) I don't wanna waste time, no, no I don't wanna, yeah I don't wanna waste time 'Cause nothing else matters, babe Nothing's gonna change the way we feel
