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. Chorus 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 Chorus
