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 this 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 so glad they sent me away
To have a little holiday
