[Chorus]

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

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Bridge]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

Oh, holiday

Oh, what a lovely day today

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

To have a little holiday
