I read the news today, oh boy,
about a lucky man who made the grade.
And though the news was rather sad,
well, I just had to laugh,
I saw the photograph.
He blew his mind out in a car.
He hadn't noticed 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.
I'd love to turn you on.
