|
I read the news today, oh boy |
|
About a lucky man who made the 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 had changed |
|
A crowd of people stood and stared, they'd 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 to look having read the book |
|
I'd love 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 hat |
|
Made the bus in seconds flat |
|
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke |
|
And somebody spoke and |
|
I went into a dream |
|
Ah, ah, ah, ah |
|
Ah, ah, ah, ah |
|
I read the 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 |
