[Intro]
Ba-dum, ba-dum, bah
Ba-dum, ba-dum, bah
Ba-dum, ba-dum, bah
Ba-dum, ba-dum, bah
Ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
[Verse 1]
I read the news today, oh, boy
About a friend of mine who made the grade
Although the news was rather sad, yeah, yes
Well, I just had to laugh, mm-hm
I saw the photographs, mm
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
[Verse 2]
I saw a film today, oh, Lord
The Chinese army had just won the war, hm, ow
A country full of people turned away, yeah, yes
But I just had to look
Having read the book
[Refrain]
I'd love to turn you on
[Instrumental Break (04:08-07:40)]
[Bridge]
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, I grabbed my hat
I made the bus in seconds flat
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke
Somebody spoke, I went into a dream
Ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
[Verse 3]
I read the news today oh, boy
A very good friend of mine had made the grade
A crowd of people stood and stared, yes
They'd seen his face many times before, mm
They'd seen in photographs, yes, they did
He blew his mind out in a car, mm-hm
He didn't notice that the lights were stoned
A country full of people stood and stared, yes
They'd seen his face before
Nobody was really sure if he was from the House of Lords
[Refrain]
I'd love to turn you on
[Outro]
Mm, mm, oh, yeah, yeah
Mm, yeah, yeah, mm, yeah
