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 light 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, got out of bed, dragged a comb across my head
Found my way down stairs 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.
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.
