Gilbert O`sullivan The Thing Is Lyrics

The Thing Is Lyrics

Oh I was walking down the street

 When a man came up to me

 And said don't I know you?

 And I said, well, you might do

 But the thing is ooh, the thing is

 I don't know you-

 

 Now I was driving in my car

 And I had not gone very far

 When from out of nowhere

 I thought I saw a big bear

 But the thing is ooh, the thing is

 No bear was there -

 

 Did somebody here just mention (Hong Kong)

 Isn't that the place where Suzi (Wong's form)

 I saw the film (and did you like it?)

 Well, to be honest I didn't mind it.

 

 Oh, I was sitting back in my chair

 When a man came on the air

 And said, well, hello there

 And, I said, well, hello there

 But the thing is (but the thing is)

 Ooh, the thing is (ooh, the thing is)

 

 I don't have a radio

 I don't have a radio

 But I've got a sister in Crewe

 I don't have a radio

 I don't have a radio

 And I've got a brother there, too.

 Do you?

 Interlude

 That's all for now

 But before you turn to the other side

 You can go out

 With a taste of the music I'll provide

 There are songs that I've written recently like...

 And some that were written previously

 Why not hear-Me
