1. I'm fixing a hole where the rain gets in
   And stops my mind from wandering
   Where it will go

   I'm filling the cracks that ran through the door
   And kept my mind from wandering
   Where it will go

   And it really doesn't matter if I'm wrong I'm right
   Where I belong I'm right
   Where I belong.

   See the people standing there who disagree and never win
   And wonder why they don't get in my door
   I'm painting my room in the colourful way

   And when my mind is wandering
   There I will go
   And it really doesn't matter if I'm wrong I'm right
   Where I belong I'm right
   Where I belong.

   Silly people run around they worry me
   And never ask me why they don't get past my door
   I'm taking the time for a number of things
   That weren't important yesterday
   And I still go

   I'm fixing a hole where the rain gets in
   And stops my mind from wandering
   Where it will go

   "Fixing a Hole" is a song mainly written by Paul McCartney (credited to Lennon/McCartney) and performed by The Beatles on the 1967 album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.

2. The Goon Show was a British radio comedy programme, originally produced and broadcast by the BBC Home Service from 1951 to 1960. The show's chief creator and main writer was Spike Milligan.[Some of the later episodes feature electronic effects devised by the then-fledgling BBC Radiophonic Workshop].The show was cited as a major influence by the Beatles,Monty Python and the American comedy team The Firesign Theatre.
