lyrics

You wish you were more like me
On holiday
You can see it in my lazy eyes
I'm on holiday
But it's OK
We're all just standing
Waiting for a train

(Are you going anywhere nice?)
Just the usual places
Except I'll be wearing sun glasses
Looking down on all the suckers
Working for their dream

It don't take no ticket to get there
It don't take no ticket to get there

Right now in the comfort of my own living room
I'm on holiday
You wouldn't think by looking at me
I'm on my way to work
I get up when I want
Take a long lunch break
Then I'm finished for the day

It don't take no ticket to get there
It don't take no ticket to get there
With a skip in my step and sunshine in my bowl
It don't take no ticket to get there

(Are you going anywhere nice this year?)
Just the usual places
Except I'll be smiling and
Looking down on all the suckers
Working for their dream

I'm on holiday
I've gone away
But you're still here
Why are you smiling?
You won't catch me
Muttering and swearing
Under my breath
Falling out with my neighbours

There's nothing doing.
