Holiday

Holiday

Oh, what a lovely day today

I'm, oh, so glad they sent me away

To have a little holiday today, holiday

Holiday

And I'm just standing on the end of a pier

Hoping and dreaming you were here

To share my little holiday

Lookin' in the sky for a gap in the clouds

Sometimes I think that sun ain't never coming out

But I'd rather be here than in that dirty old town

I had to leave the city cos it really brought me down

Oh, holiday

Oh, what a lovely day today

I think I'll get down on my little ol' knees and pray, thank you, Lord

Thank heaven for that holiday today, holiday

I'm leaving insecurity behind me

The environmental pressures got me down

I don't need no sedatives to pull me 'round

I don't need no sleeping pills to help me sleep sound

Oh, holiday

Oh, what a lovely day today

I think I'll get down on my little ol' knees and pray, that's what I'll do

Thank heaven for that holiday

Lying on the beach with my back burned rare

The salt gets in my blisters and the sand gets in my hair

And the sea's an open sewer, but I really couldn't care

I'm breathing through my mouth so I don't have to sniff the air

Oh, holiday

Oh, what a lovely day today

I'm, oh, so glad they sent me away

To have a little holiday
