Holidays in the Sun - Sex Pistols

Album: Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols

genre: Punk

Cheap holiday in other people’s misery

I don’t wanna holiday in the sun
I wanna go to the 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

In sensurround sound in a two-inch wall
I was waiting for the communist call
I didn’t 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
And now I got a reason
It’s no real reason
And I’m waiting
The Berlin wall

I got to go over the Berlin wall
I don’t understand this thing at all
I’m gonna go over the Berlin wall (x3)

Claustrophobia there’s too much paranoia
There’s too many closets
So when will we fall
And now I gotta reason
It’s no real reason to be waiting
The Berlin wall

I got to go over the wall
I don’t understand this thing at all
This third rate B movie show
Cheap dialogue
Cheap essential scenery
I got to go over the wall
I wanna go over the Berlin wall
Before they come over the Berlin wall
I don’t understand this thing at all
I’m gonna go over the wall
I wanna 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

Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols Calvin Harris album lyrics
This is the fourth single from the Sex Pistols' album. It reached number 8 in the UK. Additionally, Rolling Stone included it in their "100 Greatest Guitar Songs of All Time".
The song was inspired by a trip to the Channel Island of Jersey, and afterwards to Berlin. "Being in London at the time made us feel like we were trapped in a prison camp environment. There was hatred and constant threat of violence." commented Rotten.
