Kinks - Holiday 1972

I'm oh so glad they sent me away,
To have a little holiday today, holiday.

Holiday,
And I'm just standing on the end of a pier,
Hoping and dreaming you were here,
To share my little holiday.

Lookin' up in the sky for a gap in the clouds,
Sometimes I think that sun ain't never coming out,
But I'd rather be here than in that dirty old town,
I had to leave the city cos it really brought me down.

Holiday, oh what a lovely day today,
I'm oh so glad they sent me away,
To have a little holiday today.

I'm leaving insecurity behind me,
The environmental pressures got me down,
I don't need no sleeping pills to help me sleep sound,
I don't need no sedatives to pull me round.

Holiday, oh what a lovely day today,
I'm oh so glad they sent me away,
To have a little holiday.

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.

Holiday, oh what a lovely day today,
I'm oh so glad they sent me away,
To have a little holiday.
