A PLACE IN THE SUN Lyrics

Happy couple, been working 30 years for this

Decision made, yeah it's sealed with a loving kiss

Maz and Dave, together since high school

A place in the sun, with a terrace an a swimming pool

Let's move, cos Salford's just too cold

Need a new scene, sunbathe n grow grey and old

Maz met Dave, at the year 11 school dance

She knew right then, that they'd move to the south of France

Dave got a job, he fucked off going college

He wanted money power, didn't care about knowledge

Putting in the hours, never let his dough plateau

Just keep going, close your eyes and see the chateau

Maz grafted hard, an easy life she didn't know

They needed help, so they turned to a TV show

Producers loved them, an made their dreams come true

Moved to paradise, and told their friends Pete and Sue

You gotta live for life, you know you gotta run

You gotta get yourself, to a place in the sun

Paradise is there, you can make it if you try

Lyin on a beach, looking at a blue sky

You gotta live for life, you know you gotta run

You gotta get yourself, to a place in the sun

Paradise is there, you can make it if you try

Lyin on a beach, looking at a blue sky

Pete and Sue, they want to turn expat

Criminal records, just don't know if that affects that

They got their hearts set, on the Costa Brava

Buy a two bed villa, celebrate with a Cava

Now's the time, just jump without fear

Turn 50 on the beach, with a jug of sangria

The Costa, it's right near Barcelona

Tapas so tasty, that it's giving Pete a boner

So excited, this is gonna be a lot of fun

Filling in forms, for A Place in the fucking Sun

They want amenities, they're looking for a view

Love to Danni Menzies, said she'll see what she can do

Gotta move inland, cos they've got a shit budget

Got a top price, but Sue she wouldn't budge it

What's the point? You waste my time said Danni

So Sue turned around, and kicked her straight in the

You gotta live for life, you know you gotta run

You gotta get yourself, to a place in the sun

Paradise is there, you can make it if you try

Lying on a beach, looking at a blue sky

You gotta live for life, you know you gotta run

You gotta get yourself, to a place in the sun

Paradise is there, you can make it if you try

Lying on a beach, looking at a blue sky

Sisters, they were called Liz an Claire

No misters, their dad died an left em' bare

Never poor, but never had money

Last thing dad said, it was really quite funny

Girls, please make sure you have fun

I've booked you both on, to A Place in the Sun

They looked at each other, and burst into tears

Typical dad, making hope from their fears

A cottage with a vineyard, next to Lazio

One more than £80k? Nah, that's the max yano

Five properties, one contender

Mum said, here's a grand I can lend ya

Thank you said Liz, a croak in her voice

Just put an offer in, we got no fucking choice

Claire was shaking, her head was a mess

A good fucking job, that the vendor said yes
