The Beatles - A Day In The Life ( lyrics )

Original

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
And 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

I don’t usually like covers, but this one is quite excellent. I must say!

Esta padrisimo el sonido, el sentir de la guitarra en fin, felicidades y no se diga la traducción para los q queremos cantar y no sabemos la letra .

[fouadeljabri]

Good version, eventhough, in the end of the song, just john could give a sense to this composition with his voice Stamp

[josealmacedo]

What version is this?? Somebody please! It’s killing me

[walbani]

I don’t like covers, but thanks for the lyrics.

[zlfzqmf]

Nvr got the "turn you on part" with the rest of they lyrics..misplaced maybe?

[haroldgilbert]

Jeff beck guitar cover is from god RIP

[cdit]

You can't do yourself a disservice listening to this version, it's missing Paul in one ear and John in the other during the intro.

[ErnieBall]

Not the Beatles but it's a great cover.

[Mimi-ynyj]

Fun fact the end of this song has a frequency in which only dogs can hear.
