Nice time of year for a holiday
such a pity you've no words to say
And your flying in on his thin imagination
flying out with a brand new prescription

And I can't beleive it looks just like the brochure
The other side of the world seems somehow closer
Yet he'll be bouncing of 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 

Verse 2

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

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
