Bank Holiday

[Indecipherable parrot squawks]

[Verse 1]
My kindly-meant burnt offerings
Didn't go down very well
The last bit of bread in the pack
Wasted, there's no going back
Your favourite cup of coffee ruined
There's no milk, the shop is closed

[Chorus]
Bank holiday, bank holiday
Closed for the bank holiday

[Verse 2]
Stroll into town, this is my treat
I will make it up to you
Not every day, have a birthday
I will take you somewhere nice
Just wait for me here while i get
Some cash from the cash machine
Darling, you see, today will be
The best day we've ever seen

[Chorus]
Bank holiday, bank holiday
Closed for the bank holiday
Bank holiday, bank holiday
Closed for the bank holiday
Bank holiday, bank holiday
Closed for the bank holiday
Bank holiday, bank holiday
Closed for the bank holiday

[Bridge]
Your sad smile cut deeper than the rest
Your perfect eyes, lungs, neck glowing a little less
Two is never easy; tell me, where is the line
Between a simple fight and having an awful time?

[Verse 3]
Sorry we are unable to
Dispense any cash for you
Please remove card, be on your way
Reassess your life today
Streets are awash with wandering souls
Swaying as they make their way
City alive with love and strife
Metaphor for you and I

[Chorus]
Bank holiday, bank holiday
Closed for the bank holiday
Bank holiday, bank holiday
Closed for the bank holiday
Bank holiday, bank holiday
Closed for the bank holiday
Bank holiday, bank holiday
Closed for the bank holiday
Bank holiday, bank holiday
Closed for the bank holiday
Bank holiday, bank holiday
Closed for the bank holiday
Bank holiday, bank holiday
Closed for the bank holiday
Bank holiday, bank holiday
Closed for the bank holiday
