About Sun

"Holidays in the Sun" is a song by the English band the Sex Pistols. It was released on 14 October 1977 as the band's fourth single, as well as the advance single from their only album Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols. A #8 chart hit in the UK, the single proved to be the last with singer John Lydon for 30 years. Steve Jones and Paul Cook recorded one more single, "No One Is Innocent" with Ronnie Biggs, as the band imploded, and Sid Vicious recorded solo covers of "My Way" and "Somethin' Else" under the Pistols name. Rolling Stone ranked the song #43 of the 100 Greatest Guitar Songs of All Time.

Sit in the sun, let nature take me
Lucky for some that nature hates me
I miss the car park, I miss the concrete
I miss the city, I miss the rain and sleet

I want my climate, I want remote control
Plenty of water in every single hole
I'm never happy with what surrounds me
I like the choices
(In the sun, in the sun)
The idiot dance, let me dance, let me dance

I'm never happy with what surrounds me
We're pulling apart at the seams
It's never as good as the dream
I like the chorus and postcard scenery

We're falling apart at the seam
We're falling apart at the seam
(In the sun, in the sun)
The idiot dance, let me dance, let me dance

I'm never happy with what surrounds me
I like the choices and all the scenery
I want my climate, I want remote control
Plenty of water, in every single hole
(In the sun, in the sun)
The idiot dance, let me dance, let me dance
In the sun, 
Good natured
