Verse 2

A     F#

Holiday,

Bm           E               A        F#  

And I'm just standing on the end of a pier,

Bm          E       A        F#

Hoping and dreaming you were here,

To share my little holiday.

A              F#        Bm         E

Lookin' in the sky for a gap in the clouds,

A           F#                    Bm          E

Sometimes I think that sun ain't never coming out,

I had to leave the city cos it really brought me down.

I think I'll get down on my little ol' knees and pray, thank you Lord,

Thank heaven for this holiday today, holiday.

I'm leaving insecurity behind me,

    D                             A

The environmental pressures got me down,

A               A7           D       Bm

I don't need no sedatives to pull me round,

E

I don't need no sleeping pills to help me sleep sound.

Oh what a lovely day today,

I think I'll get down on my little ol' knees and pray,

Verse 6

Lying on the beach with my back burned rare,

The salt gets in my blisters and the sand gets in my hair,

And the sea's an open sewer,

But I really couldn't care,

I'm breathing through my mouth so I don't have to sniff the air.



Verse 7

Oh holiday,

Oh what a lovely day today,

I'm so glad they sent me away,

To have a little holiday
