A Day in the Life

He blew his mind out in a car
That the lights had changed
And though the holes were rather small
A crowd of people turned away but I just had to look
Woke up, got out of bed
Nobody was really sure

They had to count them all
Well, I just had to laugh
Got my way upstairs and had a smoke
Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire
Dragged a comb across my head
Having read the book, I'd love to turn you on

I saw a film today, oh boy
The English Army had just won the war
Then somebody spoke and I went into a dream
Now they know how many holes
A crowd of people stood and stared

It takes to fill the Albert Hall
He didn't notice
They'd seen his face before
Made the bus in seconds flat
And though the news was rather sad
If he was from the House of Lords
I read the news today, oh boy

Dragged my way downstairs and drank a cup
I saw the photograph
Found my coat and grabbed my hat
And looking up I noticed I was late
