Bonehead's Bank Holiday
Oasis · Other Songs - Oasis
To get away for a holiday
So I can see the sun
Cos in the sun they say it's fun
If you get some
Well I could take a train or a boat or an aeroplane
Or I could steal a car
Cos in a car you can go far
Just depends on what kind of car you are
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
What kind of car you are
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
I met a funny looking girl
On a crowded beach in Spain
Her name was Avaline
She said she came to Spain to have a good time
But she was with her mum
Who had a face like a nun in pain
She said her name was Dot
She didn't half talk a lot
I couldn't tell if she was mad or not
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Don't you know - I should have stayed in England
On my polluted beach - with all my special friends
Don't you know - I should have stayed in England
With my big house and my big car
And all my friend are there at the bar
La, la, la
You know I need a little break
To get away for a holiday
So I can see the sun
Cos in the sun they say it's fun
If you get some
Well I could take a train or a boat or an aeroplane
Or I could steal a car
Cos in a car you can go far
It just depends on what kind of car you are
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
What kind of car you are
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Bonehead's Bank Holiday
Released by Oasis, 'Bonehead's Bank Holiday' stands as a defining track from the Manchester band's early career, capturing the raw energy and melodic sensibility that would characterize their debut era. The song features the distinctive vocal delivery of Noel Gallagher, whose lyrical focus on the mundane yet poignant details of everyday life became a hallmark of their songwriting. As part of the band's foundational discography, the recording reflects the Britpop movement's blend of rock instrumentation and introspective storytelling. Its enduring popularity highlights the group's ability to translate personal sentiment into anthemic pop-rock, cementing their status as one of the most influential acts of the 1990s.
