Kinks - Holiday Romance Lyrics
On the subway train he sees advertsFor holidays in jamaica, a weekend inRome, a cruise round theMediterranean, and dreams of a quietWeek in a little seaside resort awayFrom his wife, the ducks on the wall,The soap operas, the office and hisFriends - and who knows, he mightEncounter a holiday romance.Holiday romanceI had a break for a weekSo I booked my seatAnd confirmed a reservationAt a quiet little seaside hotel.I packed my bagsAnd I caught my train andReached my destinationJust in time for the dinner gong--ding dong.Then I saw laviniaStanding at the bottom of the stairs.And I fell for laviniaThe moment that I saw her standing there.Lavinia looked so divineAs she walked up to the table to dineAnd then lavinias eyes met mine.I thought can this be love,Can this be lovey-doveOr just a holiday romance?Can this be long lost love at lastOr is it just a flash in the pan?Then after cheese and liqueurs they struck up the band,I plucked up my courage and I asked lavinia to danceThat was the start of my holiday romance.Just a holiday romance.We did the foxtrot, samba and danced through the nightThe last waltz came and we held each other so tight.That was the start of my holiday romance.Just a holiday romanceA simple holiday romance.I wonder should I take a chance?We walked on the beach,And we paddled our feet,And we watched all the swimmers,And my holiday treat felt complete.We drank lemonade,And we sat in the shade,I thought I must be on a winnerAnd I acted cool and discreet.For I knew that laviniaWas the shyest lady that Id ever met,And I knew that laviniaWould only be my lady for the week.It was just a holiday romanceA simple holiday romance.I wonder should I take this chance?Just a holiday romance.Can this be love,Can this be lovey-doveOr just a holiday romance?I tried to kiss her, she walked away,She said better stop, my husbandsComing to collect me today.That was the end of my holiday,Sweet and innocent holiday,End of my holiday romance.
