A Day In The Life

I read the news today oh, boy
About a friend of mine who made the grade
And though the news was rather sad, yeah yeah
Well, I just had to laugh
I saw the photographs
He blew his mind out in a car, lord knows
He didn't notice that the lights had changed
A crowd of people stood and stared, yeah yeah
They'd seen his face before
Nobody was really sure if he was from the house of lords

I saw a film today oh, lord
The Chinese army had just won the war, ow
A country full of people turned away, yeah yeah
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 made a cup
And looking up, I noticed I was late
I grabbed 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

I read the news today oh, boy
A very good friend of mine had made the grade
A crowd of people stood and stared
They'd seen his face many times before
They'd seen him in photographs
He blew his mind out in a car
He didn't notice that the lights were stone
A country full of people stood and stared
Nobody was really sure if he was from the house of lords
I'd love to turn you on
