A term for a trip to Iraq for soldiers of the British Army, as popularised by the band Hard-Fi in their song Middle Eastern Holiday
I've got to go, but what a prize to give
Package deal to the sun, everything is inclusive
Where bullet holes, scar the minarets
Smoke on the horizon a beautiful sunset
Going on my middle eastern holiday
Give me a gun, I hope to see my mum again
Going on my middle eastern holiday
Been gone so long, I hope I'm coming home some day
We can fight, we can fight
Package deal to the sun, everything is inclusive
Where bullet holes, scar the minarets
Smoke on the horizon a beautiful sunset
Going on my middle eastern holiday
Give me a gun, I hope to see my mum again
Going on my middle eastern holiday
Been gone so long, I hope I'm coming home some day
We can fight, we can fight
