lyrics

When you're dead on your feet

And you have no food to eat

And the sun fires its heat

And your best friend won’t speak

Then you know you're on an adventure holiday (x2)

You came for experience

Told you haven’t any sense

The ground hard, your body tense

For ninety pounds and fifty pence

You're on an adventure holiday (x 2)

CHORUS

Doesn't matter if you miss the train

Doesn't matter if it starts to rain

Doesn't matter if you feel a little pain

Next year you'll do the same

Adventure holiday (x2)

Never had a grudge to bear

Doesn't matter if your clothes tear

Dancing in a tigers lair

Photographing eastern wares

We're on an adventure holiday (x2)

Showing passports getting funny looks

Trying to read a foreign book

The trains full of Italian crooks

Your friends escaped by giving up

It’s your adventure holiday (x2)

CHORUS

When you return to Leeds

The first thing you do is feed

Grab everything you need

For two weeks fast asleep

You've been on an adventure holiday (x2)

When you see your friends they wonder why

You didn’t travel by sea or fly

With Jet2 airways direct by sky

To Majorca, Benidorm, but why?

When you can have an adventure holiday (x2)

CHORUS

Off Off On
by This Is The Kit

Great song writing and production. Kate Stables songs work as solo acoustic numbers but the band arrangements just lift the songs to a different level. Something new to hear each time I listen. John Joseph Dolan
