[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
