About the Book:
Mrs Dalloway (published on 14 May 1925) is a novel by Virginia Woolf that details a day in the life of Clarissa Dalloway, a fictional high-society woman in post-World War I England. It is one of Woolf's best-known novels.
The Link with the song:
The song
narrates a day in the life of a british non-named person and can be related to
Mrs. Dalloway, that is a romance narrated in just one day. As a activity
proposal, we can ask students to look for themes similar in both stories – the
death of a guy and the way it affects the people around, the war and the
morning habits of both characters.
Activity in Class:
We have a book that talks about a day in the life of a woman and a song with the same theme. Now, the students can write a little piece of text telling about a day in their school living, relating their thoughts about class and friends, as Virginia Woolf relates Clarissa's thoughts. In the end, all these works can be compiled in an book.

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 a look
Having read the book, I've loved 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.
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

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've loved to turn you on.
