"He blew his mind out in a car"
The car crash is about Tara Browne whose father was part of The House Of Lords. On 18 December 1966, Browne was driving with his girlfriend, model Suki Potier, in his Lotus Elan through South Kensington at a speed over 100mph. He failed to see a traffic light and proceeded through the junction of Redcliffe Square and Redcliffe Gardens, colliding with a parked lorry. He died of his injuries the following day.
"I saw a film today oh boy. The English army had just won the war"
John was in the film, How I Won the War which was about an inept British WWII commander who lead his troops to a series of misadventures in North Africa and Europe. Both the movie and song were released in 1967.
"Woke up, fell out of bed"
This part was written by Paul and it describes a typical day for him when he was a teen living in Liverpool. He often took the bus around town because of the proximity of the bus stop being but a few feet from his home.
"I read the news today oh boy. Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire"
John had read in a newspaper that there were enough holes in the local roads to fill the Royal Albert Hall. Four thousand holes, to be exact.
@nelliewilson You have by far the best, most informative, and most accurate interpretation of A Day In The Life by The Beatles. Just wanted to give you props.
