A Day in the Life
A Surreal Symphony: Unveiling Life's Ironies in Thom Rotella's Masterpiece
Lyrics
I read the news today oh boy
I came across news today, oh boy.
About a lucky man who made the grade
About a fortunate man who achieved success.
And though the news was rather sad
Despite the news being somewhat sorrowful.
Well I just had to laugh
Nevertheless, I couldn't help but find it amusing.
I saw the photograph.
I observed the picture accompanying the news.
He blew his mind out in a car
He 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
They recognized his face from somewhere before.
Nobody was really sure
Uncertain if he belonged to the House of Lords.
If he was from the House of Lords.

I saw a film today oh boy
I watched a film today, oh boy.
The English Army had just won the war
The English Army had recently emerged victorious in a war.
A crowd of people turned away
A crowd of people turned away in disinterest.
but I just had to look
But I couldn't resist looking, having read the related book.
Having read the book.

I'd love to turn you on
Expressing a desire to stimulate or excite the listener.
Woke up, fell out of bed,
I woke up and fell out of bed.
Dragged a comb across my head
I ran a comb through my hair.
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup,
Headed downstairs, had a cup of something.
And looking up I noticed I was late.
Realized I was running late while looking up.
Found my coat and grabbed my hat
Got my coat and hat.
Made the bus in seconds flat
Caught the bus quickly.
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke,
Went upstairs, smoked a cigarette.
Somebody spoke and I went into a dream
Someone spoke, and I drifted into a dream.
I read the news today oh boy
Again, I read the news today, oh boy.
Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire
Report of four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire.
And though the holes were rather small
Although the holes were small, they had to be counted.
They had to count them all
Now the exact number of holes required to fill the Albert Hall is known.
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall.

I'd love to turn you on
