Lyrics A Day In The Life - Live at Villa Manin, Cudriopo, Italy/1993 - Sting

One, two, three, four

I read the news today, oh boy
About a lucky man who made the grade
Although the news was rather sad
Oh, I just had to laugh

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've seen his face before
And 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
I'd love to turn you on

Woke up, fell out of bed
I dragged a comb across my head
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup
And looking up, I noticed I was late
I found my coat, I grabbed my hat
I made the bus in seconds flat

Found my way upstairs and had a smoke
Somebody spoke and I went into a dream
Oh, oh-oh, oh
Whoa-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh
Whoa-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh

I read the news today, oh boy
Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire
Although 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
