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 PLO, 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
