I don t want a holiday in the sun
I wanna go to the new Belsen

Now I got a reason Now I got a reason to be waiting

There s too many closets I went in before
And now I got a reason it s no real reason

Hello and goodbye and a run-around Sue
You follow me around like a pretty pot of glue

Okay I send you away
chorus

Eat your heart out on a plastic tray

Are you lonely all needs catered
You got your brains dehydrated
