A Day In The Life
A Surreal Symphony: Unraveling Life's Tapestry in The Beatles' A Day In The Life
Lyrics
I read the news today, oh boy
I encountered news today that caught my attention
About a lucky man who made the grade
About a fortunate man who achieved success
And though the news was rather sad
Although the news was somewhat disheartening
Well, I just had to laugh
Nevertheless, I couldn't help but find it amusing
I saw the photograph
I observed a photograph related to the news
He blew his mind out in a car
The man experienced a mental breakdown while driving
He didn't notice that the lights had changed
Unaware that the traffic lights had changed
A crowd of people stood and stared
A crowd of onlookers gathered and stared
They'd seen his face before
Recognizing him, having seen his face before
Nobody was really sure if he was from the House of Lords
Uncertain if he belonged to the House of Lords
I saw a film today, oh boy
I watched a film today
The English Army had just won the war
Depicting the English Army's recent victory
A crowd of people turned away
A crowd turned away, but I couldn't resist looking
But I just had to look
Having previously read the related book
Having read the book
Expressing a desire to engage and stimulate
I'd love to turn you on
Woke up, fell out of bed
Waking up and getting out of bed
Dragged a comb across my head
Running a comb through the hair
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup
Heading downstairs, having a cup of something
And looking up, I noticed I was late
Realizing lateness while looking up
Found my coat and grabbed my hat
Fetching coat and hat
Made the bus in seconds flat
Catching the bus quickly
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke
Heading upstairs, having a smoke
And somebody spoke and I went into a dream
Hearing someone speak, entering a dreamlike state
I read the news today, oh boy
Returning to the news, discovering four thousand holes
Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire
In Blackburn, Lancashire
And though the holes were rather small
Although the holes were small, they needed counting
They had to count them all
Now knowing the quantity, humorously relating to the Albert Hall
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall
I'd love to turn you on
Expressing a desire to engage and stimulate again
