Beatles - A Day in the Life (Beatles greatest hits album 67-70)

track 6 from the Greatest Hits album (remasterd)
lyrics:

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 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 to look
Having read the book.
I'd love to turn you on
Woke up, fell out of bed,
Dragged a comb across my head
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup,
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,
Somebody spoke and I went into a dream
I read 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

[MonttVaras]

Probably the best song ever.

[laggie24]

This is such a unique song ... has so much deep emotions that touch me everytime I hear it ... I surely don't connect it to to-day's news... it drags me back to my 70s memos.

@MonttVaras Not probably.

Timeless...The news keeps happening..This song is always there....The Beatles at this point were beyond Music...It was a state of mind.

There will not be another band like the Beatles....as a very young child i was there when the Beatles were doing there thing....They were bigger than Big....

On Dec 9, 1980, my mom handed me the morning paper. I read the news that day..Oh boy..."John Lennon Killed". That's a day in the life I wish never existed.

Saddest day ever.

This is a marvelous song.
