I don't need no sleeping pills to help me sleep sound
I'm breathing through my mouth so I don't have to sniff the air
I don't need no sedatives to slow me down
I'm leavin' insecurity behind me
Holiday, an' I'm just standing on the edge of a pier
I had to leave the city 'cause it nearly brought me down
Thank you Lord, thank heaven for that holiday today, holiday
Lookin' in the sky for a gap in the clouds
But I'd rather be here than in that dirty old town
Sometimes I think that sun ain't never comin' out
I think I'll get down on my little old knees and pray
Lying on the beach, my back burned rare
Hopin' and dreamin' you were here to share my little holiday
Holiday, oh what a lovely day today
The environmental pressures got me down
Holiday, oh what a lovely day today
Salt gets in my blisters and the sand in my hair
To have a little holiday
Oh holiday, oh a lovely day today
I'm so glad they sent me away
The sea's an open sewer but I really couldn't care
I'm all so glad they sent me away
