187/365 i read the news today, oh boy

187/365 i read the news today, oh boy, originally uploaded by katie cowden.

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

tonight i walked outside and saw the first fireflies of the spring, doing their blinking dance in the yard. instead of standing and watching them, as i always do, entranced, i hopped in the car with my housemate and we sped off to the liquor store before it closed. we made it, just barely, and by the time we returned the fireflies were gone. there will be plenty more spring and summer evenings filled with fireflies, but the first night i saw them i thought i had more important things to do.
