Dexys Midnight Runners 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.
