Whitfield, Sarah & The Birchfield Road Affair

Jazz Butcher


Turned on the television at half-past 9 in the evening 
And he didn't see nothing at all 
Asked himself: 
`If there's a God how come there's so much suffering going on?' 
And the answer was nothing at all 
Spend a little time in the kitchen making up a sandwich 
And he never got to eat it at all 
Thought about the sandwich, 
Thought about the T.V. and thought about his relatives 
And he never thought about nothing at all 
Sarah lived the other side of town 
In a white shirt in the old flat that the landlord used 
To make a little extra money 
She'd get home from work in the evening, 
Turn on the T.V. 'bout 6PM and she 
Ha! She saw nothing at all 
Used to read it in the evening paper 
Where to go to meet friends in a strange town 
But she never did nothing at all 

Round about the time that Whitfield thought about his relatives, 
Sarah took a big decision and it 
Led her to nowhere at all 

That's the way 

So they met on a tuesday evening just by chance 
Thought that maybe it'd fall 
Life where we live doesn't ever happen that way 
Well guess what? It was nothing at all 
Whitfield asked himself: 
"Why couldn't we talk about something important" 
But they talked about nothing at all 
Sarah got a cab home, 
The cab driver got a little lazy and he missed his way 
You know there was very nearly nothing at all 
There ya go now 

It's a song about nothing at all (x2) 
I made it up and there isn't much at all 
Two people, learned nothing at all
