A Day In The Life by The Beatles
I read the news today oh boy
About a lucky man who made the grave
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 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 a look
Having read the book, I'd love to turn you on...

D. Woke up, fell out of bed,

C. Dragged a comb across my head
A. Found my way downstairs and drank a cup,
B. 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,
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.

About the song:

The beginning of this song was based on two stories John Lennon read in the Daily Mail newspaper: Guinness heir Tara
Browne dying when he smashed his lotus into a parked van, and an article in the UK Daily Express in early 1967 which told
of how the Blackburn Roads Surveyor had counted 4000 holes in the roads of Blackburn and commented that the volume of
material needed to fill them in was enough to fill the Albert Hall. Lennon took some liberties with the Tara Browne story - he
changed it so he "Blew his mind out in the car."

McCartney contributed the line "I'd love to turn you on." This was a drug reference, but the BBC banned it for the line about
having a smoke and going into a dream, which they thought was about marijuana. The ban was finally lifted when author
David Storey picked it as one of his Desert Island Discs.
In 2004, McCartney did an interview with the Daily Mirror newspaper where he said he was doing cocaine around this time
along with marijuana: "I'd been introduced to it, and at first it seemed OK, like anything that's new and stimulating. When
you start working your way through it, you start thinking, 'This is not so cool and idea,' especially when you start getting
those terrible comedowns."
