HOLIDAY on ICE

A holiday on ice, a holiday on ice,
let's fly away today to paradise...

Donkeys were banned beside the sea-side
'coz of the mess they made at low-tide;
just close your eyes and it will disappear,
crack a another pack of iced beer.

A holiday on ice,
let's fly away today to paradise.
A holiday on ice,
we booked a bargain holiday for 99p plus the excess baggage fee...

Feel so good, don't want to go back,
making doilies of the ice-cap,
click-clack, kick off you shoes, it's fun, fun, fun,
sticky lollies in the noon sun.

A holiday on ice,
let's fly away today to paradise.
A holiday on ice,
let's all wave our flags and cheer the gaping gap appearing in the stratosphere...

I'll think about that in the morning,
or just before the final warning;
sit back, book in your lap, don't face the facts:
we are on holiday and that's that !

A holiday on ice,
let's fly away today to paradise.
A holiday on ice,
let's raise a glass and toast ourselves into cannibals of the English coast...

Water's rising up the poop-deck,
but we're only up to our neck:
don't run, don't panic, what the heck, relax!
full steam ahead on the Titanic!

A holiday on ice,
let's fly away today to paradise.
A holiday on ice:
we've 5 more years of summer days,
5 more years of fun before we fizzle out like gravy on the fire-place...

I'll think about that in the m...

about

"This is not a pipe" band.

Spawned from a macabre christmas pantomime in Brussels ... more 2005, mr Diagonal and the Black Light Orchestra purvey an oddly festive kind of 'dark light music' once described as "Noel Coward on mushrooms".

An unlikely blend of of high-calorie scotch pop and belgian cheese that recalls the best moment of Monty Python, Brecht and Weil and Divine Comedy. less
