Nice time of year, for a holiday
Such a pity you`ve no words to say
And your flying in on this thin imagination
Flying out with a brand new prescription
And I cant believe it looks just like the brochure
The other side of the world seems somehow closer
Yet he`ll be bouncing off the hotel walls
And you`ll be having no fun at all.
Chorus
And I`m just here for a few days
Gonna take a holiday to fade away
And I`m just here for a few days
I need to take a holiday to fade away
And the sun is shining in your tanning parlour
He`s bought everything for his favourite starlet
And sun, surf and sand and a bruising backhand
And cocktails of sorts at his demand
I didn`t come to swim in your pool
Yet you`re drowning just like the fool
It`s not for us to understand
We`ll just wait for the happy snaps to hit the stand
Chorus
