I read the news today oh boy
About a friend of mine who made the grade
All of the news was almost 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 stares
They'd seen his face before
Nobody was really sure
If he was from the House of Lords
I saw a film today oh Lord
The Chinese Army had just won the war
A country fall 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 made a cup
And looking up I noticed I was late
I grab my coat I grab my hat
I made the bus in seconds flat
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke
And somebody spoke and I went into a dream
I read the news today oh boy
A very good friend of mine had made the grade
A crowd of people stood and stared
It seen his face many time before
It seen in photograph
He blew is mind out in a car
He didn't notice that the lights was stoned
A country fall people stood and stared
It seen it day before
Nobody was really you're the people come had to look
I know to turn you on
