Verse 6
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.
Verse 7
Oh holiday,
Oh what a lovely day today,
I'm so glad they sent me away,
To have a little holiday.
