Accident On Third Street - Al Stewart[00:00:00]
Linda was killed last[00:00:17]
Saturday about fifteen blocks from where she lives[00:00:18]
In a car crash people gathered around the[00:00:21]
Graveside friends and relatives dressed in black[00:00:23]
Preacher mumblin' how she's bound to go to heaven[00:00:26]
The service started at half past ten[00:00:29]
It was all over by eleven[00:00:31]
They say it's God's to give and God's to take away[00:00:33]
But why He happened to pick Linda on a[00:00:38]
Saturday night no one could say[00:00:40]
Maybe it's just one of those things[00:00:42]
One of those things[00:00:46]
They found guy the who did it[00:00:51]
He had the lobotomy and the chicken eyes[00:00:53]
And he gazed around the courtroom[00:00:55]
With a kind of vague suprise[00:00:57]
Reminded me of one of those[00:01:00]
Vikings with the long handled swords[00:01:01]
The kind of guy even Joan[00:01:03]
Baez would not feel nonn violent towards[00:01:04]
Said he wasn't looking maybe he had had a bit too much[00:01:09]
It was dark it was raining[00:01:12]
He didn't see the light or some such[00:01:14]
It was just one of those things[00:01:16]
One of those things[00:01:21]
I asked my local guru the situation[00:01:42]
And he gave me this reply[00:01:44]
While pointing a bony finger up[00:01:46]
Into the general direction of the sky[00:01:48]
Get on with your own life it is[00:01:51]
Not ours to reason why[00:01:53]
Said he used to worry about[00:01:54]
It once when he was young[00:01:56]
Now he doesn't even bother to try[00:01:57]
He left me with a feeling that what[00:02:00]
He said was basically sound[00:02:01]
Like a black hole in space[00:02:03]
Or philosophyuseless but profound[00:02:05]
Just one of those things[00:02:08]
One of those things[00:02:12]
Tonight I'm gonna take myself down to my local cafe[00:02:16]
Gonna get smashed out of my mind[00:02:20]
Gonna waste myself away[00:02:22]
Gonna drink and drink and sink into that dark abyss[00:02:25]
I wanna be just like that Viking[00:02:29]
I wanna know if ignorance is truly bliss[00:02:31]
Linda's in the cold ground won't see her anymore[00:02:34]
Somewhere out on the highway tonight[00:02:37]
The drunken engines roar[00:02:40]
It's just one of those things[00:02:42]
One of those things[00:02:46]
Oh just one of those things[00:03:05]
