Holiday

[Verse 1] City suit, same old tie, same old face in the mirror Pint of lager, same old crowd, same old stories getting dearer Tube's delayed again, rain on the window like tears Boss says "smile more", but I've forgotten how for years [Pre-Chorus] Radio's playing some old tune from '95 Makes you think we were alive back then, just for a while Clock on the wall keeps ticking like it's mocking us Saying this is your life, lad, and it's never gonna change much [Chorus] Holiday, pack your bags and run Holiday, under a piss-wet sun Leave the mortgage, leave the wife, leave the 9-to-5 done Holiday, oh holiday Just get me out of this one [Verse 2] She's got dreams of Ibiza, but ends up in Bognor Regis He's got a caravan, dreams of Vegas, but it's Margate beaches We talk about leaving, but the kettle's always on Dreaming of somewhere warmer, but the heating's never gone [Pre-Chorus] Neighbours fighting again through the paper-thin walls Same old arguments, same old calls Kids screaming in the street, another broken bottle falls Monday morning's coming, another siren wails [Chorus] Holiday, fuck it let's disappear Holiday, chase a sky that's clear Take the last bus to nowhere, have another beer Holiday, oh holiday Just get me out of here [Interrude] [Final Chorus – louder, more anthemic] Holiday, don't look back in anger now Holiday, we'll make it somehow Slip inside the eye of your mind, find a better place somehow Holiday, oh holiday Just take us away from here Holiday, pack your bags and run Holiday, under a piss-wet sun Leave the mortgage, leave the wife, leave the 9-to-5 done Holiday, oh holiday Just get me out of this one
