Thing Is Known

Based on United Kingdom 2023
Mae Muller — I Wrote a Song (music video version)

It was 9 in the evening
During semifinal 2
I think I ended up screaming, yeah
And then I needed a poo

It was so mad to watch her
Sing out loud for all the crowd
Something quite unforeseen
People still off the scent
I knew she meant
The secret was set free

Because now thing is known
I called you on the phone
And said about the bones
Iru was not alone
Because now thing is known
No time to wonder how
Although the secret’s out
And we need to be strong
Because now thing is known

Oh oh oh oh no
Oh oh oh oh no
Oh no no no no
Oh heavens, thing is known!
Oh oh oh oh no
Oh oh oh oh no
Oh no no no no
Christ, Jesus, thing is known!

I had only two days’ notice
So it was time to take charge
Yes, I took out the folder, baby
Because she was still at large

So I was gonna
Warn them all, tell Österdahl
By fax I sent my plea
And then it all began
A genius plan
Made up in ’93 (oh, gee, oh, gee)

Because now thing is known
I’ve got to set the tone
They should go ban to sing
One act for this one thing
Because now thing is known
This person is the worst
Avoid her maybe first
A horse killed with her stone
Because now thing is known

Oh oh oh oh no
Oh oh oh oh no
Oh no no no no
Oh heavens, she’ll perform!
Oh oh oh oh no
Oh oh oh oh no
Oh no no no no
Christ, Jesus, she’ll perform!

Look, it’s been a while
Some thirty years, but it was vile
He featured in a postcard then, that night, that night
No lie, it was sick
I’ll tell the world, just what she did
Our Millstreet boy, as named by her
She threw a stone, gave him a kick
Won’t complicate, he passed away
Justice Sonia will face

Because now thing is known
As Iru passed along
A comeback feels so wrong
It’s time to make her gone
Because now thing is known
Watching the final now
But there’s Sonia all out
I’m wordless for so long
I thought that thing was known…?
