Jacqueline was seventeen   Working on a desk when   Ivor peered above a spectacle   Forgot that he had wrecked a girl      Sometimes these eyes   Forget the face they're peering from   When the face they peer upon   Well, you know that face as I do      And how in the return of the gaze   She can return you the face   That you are staring from      It's always better on holiday   So much better on holiday   That's why we only work when   We need the money      It's always better on holiday   So much better on holiday   That's why we only work when   We need the money      Gregor was down again   Said, "Come on, kick me again"   Said, "I'm so drunk   I don't mind if you kill me"      Come on you gutless   Yeah, I'm alive   Oh, I'm alive   Oh, I'm alive      And how I know it's you   But for chips and for freedom   I could die      It's always better on holiday   So much better on holiday   That's why we only work when   We need the money      It's always better on holiday   So much better on holiday   That's why we only work when   We need the money      It's always better on holiday   So much better on holiday   That's why we only work when   We need the money      It's always better on holiday   So much better on holiday   That's why we only work when   We need the money
