Won't you come away with me?
I know a lovely place to stay
In the summer or the winter
It's ideal for a break
And the temperature
is perfect just as long as you don't go outside
And there are ashes in the water There are ashes in the sky
And all those ashes are what's left of all the people who have died
There are piles of bodies on the beach But we just close our eyes
Oh,
oh, oh, oh, oh, a
holiday Don't you want a holiday?
Don't you want a holiday?
You can take a photograph of yourself posing in the sea
And you can crop the picture to cut out the drowning refugees
If you airbrushed out the soldiers we could almost be in paradise
And if the bombs are still exploding we will play our music loud
And if the children ask to scream we can dance and joke around
The barbed wire looks just like tin so
yeah we're gonna have a party tonight
Oh,
oh,
oh,
oh,
oh,
a holiday Don't you want a holiday?
You deserve a holiday A holiday in hell
Oh,
oh,
oh,
oh,
oh,
a holiday Don't you want a holiday?
You deserve a holiday A holiday in hell
