(intro)
I read the news today oh boy I'll omit them from now on)
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....
(stays on Em for awhile then goes to E-major)
And looking up, I noticed I was late
And somebody spoke and I went into a dream
I heard 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...

Woke up, fell out of bed, dragged a comb across my A

Found my way downstairs and drank a cupAnd looking up, I noticed I was late

Found my coat and grabbed my hat, made the bus in seconds A

Found my way upstairs and had a smokeAnd somebody spoke and I went into a dream
