One Thing Leads To Another Lyrics
They close your eyes, and the doctor says it's too late
You wonder why your life passes before you
In the dark, you slip into a coma
You crash the car, you've gone too far
Policemen flash, they want credentials
You go too fast, but you're not careful
So you drive back home, in confusion, alone
She's a man, but when you get down to it
She says "Sure you can", you'll make love to her
She says "My place or yours?", drinks are poured
They'll keep you dance forever, so you dance together
To make a move now seems essential
Someone stares at you; the propagator has potential
To replace the other who just rediscovered another
'Cause you think you might need a lover
And oh, my god, look, you have just discovered
The way that one thing can lead to another
And oh, my god, look, you have just discovered
The way that one thing can lead to another, yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah
It can lead to another
What's going on tonight? You think you might discover
So you pour a drink, and start to think about another
You get the sack when you turn up late
You think: Get this pressure off my back
With the deadlines missed, your boss gets pissed
You fail your test, you're so depressed
And the job begins to suffer
And the job begins to suffer
And oh, my god, look, you have just discovered
The way that one thing can lead to another
And oh, my god, look, you have just discovered
The way that one thing can lead to another, yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah
One thing leads to another, yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah
It can lead to another
And the job begins to suffer for the love you have lost
'Cause you care such a lot about the job you've got
You couldn't care less, you're in such a mess
And life's tougher
And you're feeling older; perhaps it's colder with her mother
Then your lover says she's moving out and moving back in
You've got a job, you like the job
But isn't it funny how one thing leads to another?
And oh, my god, look, you have just discovered
The way that one thing can lead to another
Oh, my god, look, you have just discovered
The way that one thing can lead to another, yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah
One thing leads to another, yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah
It can lead to another
And oh, my god, look, you have just discovered

It's A Sin

Fantastic song. Very underated. The relentless retro-active story of a man who looses his job, and his girlfreind because of it goes to the bar and gets smashed, hit on by a man, and in confusion drives home drunk and dies in a crash.

Yes, I agree that it's brilliant and very underrated - a fantastic and fast-moving PSB rap. I only realised when I was listening to this earlier that it's describes everything backwards, from the guy passing out in hospital to earlier when he's been sacked from his job - genius. It's a sort of funny but really sad story at the same time. The only thing I don't like about it is the chorus - it gets a bit repetitive.
