    Verse 1
    Linda 
    was 
    killed 
    last Saturday 

    about 
    fifteen 
    blocks 
    from 
    where she 
    lives 

    In a 
    car 
    crash, 
    people 
    gathered 
    around 
    the graveside 

    friends 
    and 
    relatives 
    dressed 
    in 
    black 

    Preacher 
    mumblin' 
    how 
    she's 

    bound 
    to 
    go to 
    Heaven 

    The ser
    vice 
    started 
    at half- 
    past 
    ten, 

    it was 
    all 
    over 
    by 
    eleven 

    They say 
    it's 
    God's 
    to 
    give, 

    and 
    God's 
    to 
    take 
    away, 

    But why 
    He happened 
    to 
    pick 
    Linda 
    on 
    a Saturday 
    night, 

    no 
    one 
    could say. 

    Maybe 
    it's 
    just 
    one 
    of those 
    things 

    One 
    of those 
    things 

    Verse 2
    They 
    found 
    guy 
    the who 
    did 
    it, 

    he had 
    the 
    lobotomy 
    and the 
    chicken 
    eyes, 

    And 
    he 
    gazed 
    around 
    the 
    courtroom 

    with a kind 
    of vague 
    surprise 

    Re
    minded 
    me 
    of one 
    of those 
    Vikings 

    with 
    the long- 
    handled 
    swords 

    The kind 
    of guy 
    even 
    Joan 
    Baez 

    would not 
    feel 
    non- 
    violent 
    towards 

    Said 
    he wasn't 
    looking, 

    maybe 
    he had 
    had a 
    bit too 
    much 

    It was 
    dark, 
    it 
    was raining, 

    he didn't 
    see 
    the 
    light 
    or some 
    such 

    It was 
    just 
    one 
    of those 
    things, 

    One 
    of those 
    things. 

    Interlude 1



    Verse 3
    I 
    asked 
    my local 
    guru 
    the situation 

    and he gave 
    me this 
    reply 

    While point
    ing 
    a bony 
    finger 
    up 
    into 

    the general 
    direction 
    of the 
    sky: 

    "Get on 
    with your 
    own 
    life, 

    it 
    is not 
    ours 
    to 
    reason 
    why" 

    Said 
    he 
    used to 
    worry 
    about it 

    once 
    when 
    he was 
    young 

    Now 
    he doesn't 
    even 
    bother 
    to try 

    He left 
    me with 
    a feeling 
    that what 

    he said 
    was 
    basically 
    sound 

    Like 
    a 
    black 
    hole 
    in space, 
    or philosophy, 

    useless 
    but pro
    found 

    Just 
    one 
    of those 
    things, 

    One 
    of those 
    things. 

    Verse 4
    Tonight 
    I'm gonna 
    take 
    myself 

    down 
    to my 
    local 
    cafe 

    Gonna 
    get 
    smashed 
    out 
    of my mind, 

    gonna 
    waste 
    myself 
    away 

    Gonna 
    drink 
    and 
    drink 
    and 
    sink 

    into 
    that 
    dark 
    abyss 

    I wanna 
    be just 
    like 
    that Viking, 

    I 
    wanna 
    know if 
    ignorance 
    is 
    truly 
    bliss. 

    Linda's 
    in the 
    cold 
    ground, 

    won't 
    see 
    her anymore 

    Somewhere 
    out 
    on the highway 
    tonight, 

    the 
    drunken 
    engines 
    roar 

    It's 
    just 
    one 
    of those 
    things, 

    One 
    of those 
    things. 

    Interlude 2


    Verse 5
    Oh, 
    just 
    one 
    of 
    those 
    things.

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      "

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
