[Verse]
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 hadn't noticed 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

[Bridge]
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

[Outro]
I read the news today, oh boy
4,000 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

Alexandra Ashley Hughes, better known by her stage name Allie X, is a Canadian singer-songwriter.

Allie first started her career under the stage name Allie Hughes in Toronto around 2006, performing indie pop, indie rock, jazz and electronic influenced music. She released her album, Waiting for the Prize the same year. She then proceeded two further releases, including another album Ladies and Gentlemen in 2009 and an extended play titled Allie Hughes in 2010. All of the aforementioned releases were released independently and sold mainly at live shows.

In 2011-2012, Allie started performing under the stage name ALX. Under this name, the single “I Will Love You More” was released in March of 2012. Despite ALX only having only one official song release, numerous unreleased original songs from this era were performed live during 2012 shows such as “Chad Redux”, “Homebound” and “Phantom”. The ALX project eventually came to an end in late 2012. In July 2013, Allie decided to leave Canada and move to Los Angeles to pursue a full-time career as a singer-songwriter, signing a publishing deal. During 2013 she spent time learning about sound design and production and worked with numerous songwriters and producers including Billboard and Cirkut, who she met that year.
