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.



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



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
