If You Think There's Something Lyrics

If you think there's something
If you think there's something
If you think there's something

I don't care what I look like
I don't care what you think
Because I know these things are not important
They're just material and ink

I like things comfortable
And I like things that look real good
I don't care about the cut, it is enough
If it's smooth and not too rough

If you think there's something
Could it be that there's not?
If you think there's something
Is there or is there not?
If you think there's something
It can be that there's not

So if you think there is something
Something that there is not
Ooh-ooh, perhaps a pair of trousers
Or a band that plays rock

If you think there's something
Could it be that there's not?
If you think there's something
Is there or is there not?
If you think there's something
If you think there's something
If you think there's something

That fine physique, that pretty face
Lights up his fantasies - puts them in place (oh-oh)
Oh what's his stance, where is he coming from?
We try to follow but he's gone

If you think there's something
Could it be that there's not?
If you think there's something
Is there or is there not?
If you think there's something
It can be that there's not
If you think there's something

If you think there's something
If you think there's something
If you think there's something
Perhaps and maybe not

If you think there's something
Can we agree there's not?
If you think there's something
And we say that there's not
If you think there's something
If you think there's something

Cover art for If You Think There's Something lyrics by Madness

This is the B-side of the 'Michael Caine' single from 1984. A very under-rated song, i've always thought it was about how people see things in life generally and that sometimes we are very quick to judge.

I think it also reflected the writer 'Mike Barson's' thoughts at the time, not caring what people thought of him anymore and leaving part of his youth behind, as at the time he was about to leave to band.

In short, it's a song about nothing. ;)
