Bank Holiday Lyrics
Grandma has got new dentures
To eat the crust of pizza
Bee taken out by daughter
Because she thought she ought'a
The kids are eating snickers
Because they're so delicious
Then there's sticky fingers
And mother looses her knickers
(Chorus)
Bank holiday comes six times a year
Days of enjoyment to which everyone cheers
Bank holiday comes with six pack a beer
...Then it's back to work A.G.A.I.N.
Bar-b-que is cooking
Sausages and chicken
The patio is Buzzing
The neighbours they are looking
John is down the fun pub
Drinking lots of larger
Girls and boys are on the game
All the high streets look the same
(Chorus)
Back to work A.G.A.I.N.
(chorus)
Bank holiday
To eat the crust of pizza
Bee taken out by daughter
Because she thought she ought'a
The kids are eating snickers
Because they're so delicious
Then there's sticky fingers
And mother looses her knickers
Bank holiday comes six times a year
Days of enjoyment to which everyone cheers
Bank holiday comes with six pack a beer
...Then it's back to work A.G.A.I.N.
Sausages and chicken
The patio is Buzzing
The neighbours they are looking
John is down the fun pub
Drinking lots of larger
Girls and boys are on the game
All the high streets look the same

Great songs, quite punky. I think the song speaks for itself, the fun of bank holidays!
A bank holiday is a holiday falling on a week day in the uk where banks and gov't buildings close down and everyone has off of work. It's like Memorial Day in the US, as opposed to say Valentine's Day. It's only appropriate that this song is as fast and frenzied as it is, Blur was a funny band.
Description of a typical bank holiday complete with BBQ and lager.
quite self explanatory this song. it just describes what everyone does on bank holiday, get hammered and have a barbecue
I get a funny feeling he may just be taking the piss out of the whole British bank holiday ritual as well; the last verse in particular.
Pure Blur.
he may be taking the piss?
he may be taking the piss?
Knowing Damon's lyrics, he absolutely is taking the piss out of it.
