To have a little holiday today, holiday
I think, I'll get down on my little knees and pray, thank you Lord
The environmental pressures got me down
Lookin' in the sky, for a gap in the clouds
I had to leave the city 'cos it didn't broke me down
I'm leaving insecurity behind me
Thank heaven for this holiday today, holiday
I don't need no sedatives to slow me down
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'm oh, so glad they sent me away
Sometimes I think that sun ain't never coming out
Oh holiday, oh, what a lovely day today
And the salt gets in my blisters and the sand in my hair
Holiday and I'm just standing on the edge of a pier
Oh holiday, oh, what a lovely day today
And the sea's an open sewer, but I really couldn't care
To share my little holiday
Oh holiday, oh, what a lovely day today
I'm so glad they sent me away
Lying on the beach with my back burned rare
Hoping and dreaming you were here
But I'd rather be here than in that dirty old town
To have a little holiday
