Holiday

Holiday, oh what a lovely day today
I'm oh, so glad they sent me away
To have a little holiday today, holidayHoliday and I'm just standing on the edge of a pier
Hoping and dreaming you were here
To share my little holidayLookin' 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 didn't broke me downOh holiday, oh, what a lovely day today
I think, I'll get down on my little knees and pray, thank you Lord
Thank heaven for this holiday today, holidayI'm leaving insecurity behind me
The environmental pressures got me down
I don't need no sedatives to slow me down
I don't need no sleeping pills to help me sleep soundOh holiday, oh, what a lovely day today
I'm so glad they sent me away
To have a little holidayLying on the beach with my back burned rare
And the salt gets in my blisters and the sand 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 airOh holiday, oh, what a lovely day today
I'm oh, so glad they sent me away
To have a little holiday
