Lyrics

Advert

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

(Food processors are great!)

It's six o'clock on the dot and I'm half way home

I feel foul-mouthed as I stand and wait for the underground

And a nervous disposition doesn't agree with this

I need something to remind me that there's something else

You need a holiday

Somewhere in the sun

With all the people who are waiting

There never seems to be one

Say something, say something else

Say something, say something else

Advertisements are here for rapid persuasion

If you stare too long, you lose your appetite

A nervous disposition doesn't agree with this

You need fast relief from aches and stomach pains

I need a holiday

Somewhere in the sun

With all the people who are waiting

There never seems to be one

Say something, say something else

Say something, say something else

(One, two, three, four

Five, six, seven, eight

Nine, ten, eleven, twelve

Thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen)

(You can have a holiday in the sun, yes

Ladies and gentlemen, one week only, on special offer)

You need a holiday

Somewhere in the sun

With all the people who are waiting

There never seems to be one

Say something, say something else, go on

Say something, say something else

Say something, say something else

Say something, say something else
