Lyrics
Holidays In The Sun
A Cheap holiday in other peoples misery! I don't wanna holiday in the sun I wanna go to new Belsen I wanna see some history 'Cause now i got a reasonable economy Now I got a reason, now I got a reason Now I got a reason and I'm still waiting Now I got a reason Now I got reason to be waiting The Berlin Wall Sensurround sound in a two inch wall Well I was waiting for the communist call I dared to ask for sunshine, and I got World War three I'm looking over the wall and they're looking at me! Now I got a reason, Now I got a reason Now I got a reason and I'm still waiting Now I got a reason Now I got a reason to be waiting The Berlin Wall They're staring all night and They're staring all day I had no reason to be here at all But now i gotta reason it's no real reason And I'm waiting at Berlin Wall I'm gonna go over the Berlin Wall I don't understand this thing at all I gonna go over and over the Berlin Wall I'm gonna go over the Berlin Wall I'm gonna go over the Berlin Wall Claustrophobia There's too much paranoia There's too many closets Oh when will we fall? And now I gotta reason It's no real reason to be waiting The Berlin Wall I gotta go over the Wall I don't understand this thing at all It's third rate Cheap dialogue, cheap essential scenery I gotta go over the wall I wanna go over the Berlin Wall Before they come over the Berlin Wall I don't understand this bit at all... I'm gonna go over the wall I'm gonna go over the Berlin Wall I'm gonna go over the Berlin Wall Before they come over the Berlin Wall I don't understand this thing at all Please don't be waiting for me
