One Of Those Things Lyrics - Don't Stand Me Down - Dexys Midnight Runners

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? 

Photos 

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
