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 love to turn you on.
