Kinks - Holiday 1972 <br /> <br />I'm oh so glad they sent me away, <br />To have a little holiday today, holiday. <br /> <br />Holiday, <br />And I'm just standing on the end of a pier, <br />Hoping and dreaming you were here, <br />To share my little holiday. <br /> <br />Lookin' up in the sky for a gap in the clouds, <br />Sometimes I think that sun ain't never coming out, <br />But I'd rather be here than in that dirty old town, <br />I had to leave the city cos it really brought me down. <br /> <br />Holiday, oh what a lovely day today, <br />I'm oh so glad they sent me away, <br />To have a little holiday today. <br /> <br />I'm leaving insecurity behind me, <br />The environmental pressures got me down, <br />I don't need no sleeping pills to help me sleep sound, <br />I don't need no sedatives to pull me round. <br /> <br />Holiday, oh what a lovely day today, <br />I'm oh so glad they sent me away, <br />To have a little holiday. <br /> <br />Lying on the beach with my back burned rare, <br />The salt gets in my blisters <br />and the sand gets in my hair, <br />And the sea's an open sewer, <br />But I really couldn't care, <br />I'm breathing through my mouth <br />so I don't have to sniff the air. <br /> <br />Holiday, oh what a lovely day today, <br />I'm oh so glad they sent me away, <br />To have a little holiday.
