An Englishman On Holiday - Thunder

Laying down in this Spanish bar, that last slammer hit me like a car

I’ve got the 6 a.m. Balearic blues, can’t even focus on my own tattoos

I had a fight with this German guy, I saw him give my little girl the eye

While he was trying hard to be so cool, I hit him with a stool

Oh yes, alright, I’ll be going all night

Gonna drink 'til they take me away, I’m an Englishman on holiday

Every year I get to do the same, I meet the boys and get on the plane

We like to sing and shout out «here we go»

'Cos they’re the only words that we all know

We’ve got the loudest shirts you’ve ever seen

We’re gonna take the beaches like a team

We’ve got so much duty free to drink, enough to float a ship

Oh yeah alright, I’ll be going all night

So light the paper, get out of the way, I’m an Englishman on holiday

We never look for trouble at the start, but it always comes our way

We’ve got our pride and we just can’t walk away

(Solo)

This morning I woke up inside a cell

They dragged me screaming out of my hotel

I don’t remember what it was I did

But I’ve got this drummer banging in my head

I’ve got to get out 'fore I miss the plane, next summer I’ll be back again

I’ll be fighting for the Union Jack, if they let me back

Oh yes, alright, I’ll be going all night

Gonna drink 'til they take me away, I’m an Englishman on holiday…
