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.
