I read the news today oh boy
C Emi Ami
about a lucky man who made the grade
G Hmi Emi
and though the news was rather sad
C F Emi
well I just had to laugh
C F Emi
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
Emi
nobody was really sure
C
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
Emi
having read the book
Hmi G Emi
I'd love to turn you on.
Woke up fell out of bed
dragged a comb across my head
found my way downstairs 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
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
Emi C
now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall
Hmi G E
I'd love to turn you on.
