Download Found my way upstairs and had a smoke

A Day in the
Life of………
……….…a Clinical Network Group Chairman
Sir Peter Blake
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
A Day in the Life. Lennon and McCartney

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
