A Day in the Life
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
生命中的一天
孩子啊，我今天读到那新闻了
关于一个幸运的成功男人的故事
尽管那新闻有些伤感
我还是笑了
我看到了照片
他在车里发了狂
他没注意到红灯已经变绿
一群人站着围观
他们以前见过他
但没人可以确定
是否他是上议院的议员
孩子啊，我今天看了一场电影
英国的军队刚赢了那场战争
很多人转身离去
但我必须观看
读了那本书
我想让你兴奋
醒来，从床上爬起来
匆忙梳梳头发
急奔下楼喝些东西
抬头看钟才察觉我迟到了
找到外套抓过帽子
在第二公寓区赶上巴士
急奔上楼抽根烟
有人说话我开始梦游
孩子啊，我今天读到那新闻了
兰开夏郡的布莱克本有四千个洞
尽管那些洞很小
他们还是要数清楚
现在他们知道要填满阿伯特纪念堂需要多少洞了
我想让你兴奋
注：Albert Hall 阿伯特纪念堂(在伦敦,常用作音乐会,舞蹈会或其他集会的场所)
