Day in the Life
2.7.5. Zel Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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

SpaceGhostPurrp really gave Denzel like all of his best beats

@will1468

Facts. Probably why purrp so salty with him to this day. Gave him the sauce and Denzel forgot where he came from, or well. Who put him on.

Idk. Maybe I’m biased because this is around when I found raider klan, purrp, curry, etc. his new stuff just don’t have the same spirit.

@akrobatnearl

@@will1468 I mean denzel to this day gives purrp props for all raider klan days, he said despite all the beef shit, he still respects him as an artist

@mystikgleam9541

@@akrobatnearl he’s made that pretty public. I think people give Purrp’s animosity too much significance as if him being this mad at Denzel is justified 7 years later
