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.     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     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
