An Englishman on Holiday

Laying down in this Spanish bar That last slammer hit me like a car I've got the 6a.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 yeah alright I'll be going all night Gonna drink till 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 This morning I woke up inside a cell They dragged me screaming out of my hotel I don't remember what it is 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 --- An Englishman on Holiday - Thunder
