|
I read a news today, oh boy, |
|
About a lucky man who made a grade, |
|
And though the news was rather sad, |
|
Well, I just had to laugh. |
|
I saw the photograph. |
|
He blew his mind out in a car, |
|
He didn't notice that the lights have changed, |
|
A crowd of people stood and stared, |
|
They've seen his face before, |
|
Nobody was really sure if he was from the House of Lords. |
|
I saw a film today, oh boy, |
|
The English army had just won the war, |
|
A crowd of people turned away, |
|
But I just had a look, |
|
Having read a book, I'd like to turn you on... |
|
Woke up, fell out of bed, |
|
dragged a comb across my head, |
|
found my way downstairs and drank a cup, |
|
and looking up I noticed I was late. |
|
Found my coat and grabbed my head, |
|
made the bus in second flat, |
|
found my way upstairs and had a smoke, |
|
and somebody spoke and I went into a dream |
|
I read a news today, oh boy, |
|
four thousand holes in Blackburn Lancashire, |
|
and though the holes were rather small, |
|
they had to count them all, |
|
now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall, |
|
I'd love to turn you on. |
