A Day in the Life [1967, Countdown Intro]

Nobody was really sure if he was from the House of Lords
Well, I just had to laugh
The English army had just won the war
I saw the photograph
And though the holes were rather small

Found my way downstairs and drank a cup
Found my coat and grabbed my hat
Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire

Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall
Woke up, got out of bed
Dragged a comb across my head

He blew his mind out in a car
They'd seen his face before
Ahh, ahh, ahh
But I just had to look, having read the book
He didn't notice that the lights had changed
And somebody spoke and I went into a dream
They had to count them all
A crowd of people stood and stared
I'd love to turn you on
I saw a film today, oh boy
A crowd of people turned away
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke
And though the news was rather sad
And looking up, I noticed I was late
I read the news today, oh boy
Made the bus in seconds flat
