about

An all acoustic rendition of the famous Sgt. Pepper album cut using the original orchestral swell tracks remixed to fit my version. One of my children has requested that I record this song.

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 light 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 LKords

I saw a fil today, oh boy
The English Army had just won the war
The 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 the comb across my head
Went downstairs and had a cup
Looking up, I noticed I was late

Got my coat and grabbed my hat
Made the bus in seconds flat
Went upstairs and had a smoke
Somebody spoke and I went into a dream

Ahhhhh.......

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.
