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 are here
To share my little holiday
Looking in the sky for a gap in the clouds
Sometimes I think that sun ain't never coming out
I'd rather be high than in that dirty old town
I had to leave the city 'cause it nearly brought me down
Oh, holiday
Oh, what a lovely day today
I think I'll get down on my little old knees and pray
Thank you Lord, thank heaven for that holiday today
Holiday
I'm leaving insecurity behind me
The environmental pressure's got me down
I don't need no sedatives to pull me around
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 old knees and pray
That's what I'll do
Thank heaven for that holiday
Lying on the beach with my back burnt rare
The salt gets in my blisters and the sand gets in my hair
The sea's an open sore 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
