The song is well-remembered by early MTV viewers, and the song is included on many 1980s compilation albums and continues to get substantial radio airplay today.\n\nIn 2012, lead singer/lyricist Cy Curnin explained the meaning of this song, which deals with malleable politicians. \"If you're going to be a liar, you'd better be a damn good liar and remember what you said, or the whole thing's going to get pear shaped,\" said Curnin. \"That was 30 years ago, and look where the system is now. A lot of people stand on ballot boxes and say a lot of things and lie in order to get elected and do nothing. So those songs I'm pretty proud of.\"\nhttps://www.songfacts.com/facts/the-fixx/one-thing-leads-to-another", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
