《Accident On Third Street》歌词

[00:00:00] Accident On Third Street - Al Stewart

[00:00:17] Linda was killed last

[00:00:18] Saturday about fifteen blocks from where she lives

[00:00:21] In a car crash people gathered around the

[00:00:23] Graveside friends and relatives dressed in black

[00:00:26] Preacher mumblin' how she's bound to go to heaven

[00:00:29] The service started at half past ten

[00:00:31] It was all over by eleven

[00:00:33] They say it's God's to give and God's to take away

[00:00:38] But why He happened to pick Linda on a

[00:00:40] Saturday night no one could say

[00:00:42] Maybe it's just one of those things

[00:00:46] One of those things

[00:00:51] They found guy the who did it

[00:00:53] He had the lobotomy and the chicken eyes

[00:00:55] And he gazed around the courtroom

[00:00:57] With a kind of vague suprise

[00:01:00] Reminded me of one of those

[00:01:01] Vikings with the long handled swords

[00:01:03] The kind of guy even Joan

[00:01:04] Baez would not feel nonn violent towards

[00:01:09] Said he wasn't looking maybe he had had a bit too much

[00:01:12] It was dark it was raining

[00:01:14] He didn't see the light or some such

[00:01:16] It was just one of those things

[00:01:21] One of those things

[00:01:42] I asked my local guru the situation

[00:01:44] And he gave me this reply

[00:01:46] While pointing a bony finger up

[00:01:48] Into the general direction of the sky

[00:01:51] Get on with your own life it is

[00:01:53] Not ours to reason why

[00:01:54] Said he used to worry about

[00:01:56] It once when he was young

[00:01:57] Now he doesn't even bother to try

[00:02:00] He left me with a feeling that what

[00:02:01] He said was basically sound

[00:02:03] Like a black hole in space

[00:02:05] Or philosophyuseless but profound

[00:02:08] Just one of those things

[00:02:12] One of those things

[00:02:16] Tonight I'm gonna take myself down to my local cafe

[00:02:20] Gonna get smashed out of my mind

[00:02:22] Gonna waste myself away

[00:02:25] Gonna drink and drink and sink into that dark abyss

[00:02:29] I wanna be just like that Viking

[00:02:31] I wanna know if ignorance is truly bliss

[00:02:34] Linda's in the cold ground won't see her anymore

[00:02:37] Somewhere out on the highway tonight

[00:02:40] The drunken engines roar

[00:02:42] It's just one of those things

[00:02:46] One of those things

[00:03:05] Oh just one of those things
