Ray Davies - Holiday lyrics

Holiday Oh what a lovely day today 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' 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 Oh holiday, oh what a lovely day today 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 The environmental pressures got me down I don't need no sedatives to pull me round I don't need no sleeping pills to help me sleep sound Oh holiday Oh what a lovely day today I think I'll get down on my little ol' knees and pray That's what I'll do Thank heaven for this 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 Oh holiday Oh what a lovely day today I'm so glad they sent me away To have a little holiday
