A PLACE IN THE SUN

Happy couple, been workin 30 years for this
Decision made, yeah it's sealed with a lovin kiss
Maz and Dave, together since high school
A place in the sun, with a terrace an a swimmin 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 goin college
He wanted money power, didn't care about knowledge
Puttin in the hours, never let his dough plateau
Just keep goin, 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, lookin 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, lookin 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 givin Pete a boner
So excited, this is gonna be a lot of fun
Fillin in forms, for A Place in the fuckin Sun
They want amenities, they're lookin 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
Lyin on a beach, lookin 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, lookin 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 fuckin choice
Claire was shakin, her head was a mess
A good fucking job, that the vendor said yes
