One of Those Things

You know, recently

I was thinking

I was thinking about one thing and the other and music crossed my mind

Yeah? Yeah

It occurred to me to switch on the radio

I wanted to hear some music

So I turned it on, it was

Radio One,

Sid Jenkins on the air

He had synthesizers and soulful guises,

I think you know the type of thing -

Sure. it was alright

It was OK ?

I'm not lodging any complaints or anything, there was just one problem

What was that?

It all sounded the same

You mean it all sounded similar?

I mean it all sounded the same

Anyway, so

I started asking around, you know.

I started making a few enquiries, just putting out a few feelers

Yeah? Yeah.

I had a word with a couple of so called socialists on my way

And during the course of our conversation

I put to them a question,

I said: "How do you feel about Ireland?"

Ireland? Yeah,

Ireland That place, it's just across the sea

Oh yeah, I know the place

Well they said: "We're for Sandinista, Cuba's militia, the P L O, M.P.L.A, Afghanistan and Babylon"

They went on and on and on and on.

And I said: "Alright, Alright, but what do you think about Belfast?"

And what did they say?

Well, their replies were various but they all had one thing m common.

And what was that?

They all sounded the same

You mean they sounded alike ?

They all sounded the same

Well, that's about the size of it, what can

I tell you?

You tell me.

I dunno, It's just one of those of things

What you mean one of 'those' things?

Yeah, one of those things
