War — 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
