So tired of the race you were out of your face When you said that you'd take a vacation Away from the pain and the mind numbing strain Of your drastically changed situation Your friends said you should it would do you some good To break out of that morbid routine You've been here a day it's not easy to say But you're starting to see what they mean Standby for Majorca sunshine and beer Escape from the rain eases the pain but I wish you were here You sit by the pool and you feel like a fool 'Cos your mind doesn't match what you're wearing All morning you fought in your heart 'cos you thought You'd be left with this burden you're bearing You're starting to brood there's a change in the mood
So you go for a walk in the sand There might be a way this could all be OK It just won't be the way that you planned Standby for Majorca sunshine and beer It's ninety degrees under the trees but I wish you were here You're taking some stick 'cos you're dressed up so slick And you're starting to fancy your chances Still bored with the pub you'd endure the flash club As a means to some short term romances There's one in the queue and she's staring at you And it's making you feel so alive It might be sometime 'till you'd call yourself fine But at least you're now gonna survive Standby for Majorca sunshine and beer It's great to unwind far from the grind but I wish you were here
