Lyrics
Intro
(Ha ha ha)
(Hee hee hee)
I was walking down the Broadway
In my Sunday best
Met a little fellow
Put me to the test
Verse 1
Empty
The street is wide and empty
No one
I didn't see no one
Standing by the station
With a frown
Waiting for a bus to take me
Out of this town
Not a peep
Cricklewood is fast asleep
Chorus
Nothing happens in Cricklewood
Nothing at all
Nothing happens in Cricklewood
Even the shadows are small
Ha ha ha
Hee hee hee
I'm a Cricklewood gnome and you can't catch me
Verse 2
Dusty
The windows are all dusty
Gray
Everything is turning gray
I asked a copper for the time
He just yawned
Said the sun hasn't moved
Since the day he was born
Quiet
So quiet
The birds are on a diet
Chorus
Nothing happens in Cricklewood
Nothing at all
Nothing happens in Cricklewood
Even the shadows are small
Ha ha ha
Hee hee hee
I'm a Cricklewood gnome and you can't catch me
Bridge
I looked for a thrill
I looked for a spill
I looked for a hill
But it's flat as a pancake
No mistakes
No one even wakes
For goodness sake
It's a bit of a headache
Verse 3
Bored
I'm feeling rather bored
Slow
The clocks are ticking slow
Saw a cat on a fence
It didn't move
Even the pigeons
Lost their groove
Stagnant
So stagnant
Life is just a fragment
Chorus
Nothing happens in Cricklewood
Nothing at all
Nothing happens in Cricklewood
Even the shadows are small
Ha ha ha
Hee hee hee
I'm a Cricklewood gnome and you can't catch me
Post-Chorus
He's a gnome
He's a gnome
And he's going home
Ha ha ha
Hee hee hee
Cricklewood is the place to be
(Not)
Outro
Where are you going
Nowhere
What are you doing
Nothing
Ha ha ha
Hee hee hee
That's Cricklewood for you and me
(Hee hee)
(Ho ho)
(Goodnight)
