[Not the micro of the piano's quite low, is it?

Just keep like the maracas.

You know all those pianos.

OK, you're on.]

[Sugar plum fairy, sugar plum fairy.]

(take 2)

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

[Oh shit!]

(take 2)

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...

(crossfade into orchestral crescendos)

[Really, I...

See, the worst thing about doing this about that we're doing tonight,

like this is, I think, at first people, sort of, a bit suspicious,

you know, come on, what you are up to?] (fade out)
