HOLIDAY

SONG LYRICS

Things didn't go as I planned
I couldn't meet my own demands
I coulda sworn I tried to get it right, yeah
But 30 years of drinkin' makes a man real tired

Always said it's easier
Holiday, oh (Easy, yeah)
Holiday, mm (na na na na, na na na na)
Holiday (da da da da, da da da da da da da da)

Eggshells and coffee grind stained tile
(da da da da, da da da da da da da da)
Sour milk and booze will hold a while
(da da da da, da da da da da da da da)
I coulda sworn I tried to get it right
(da da da da, da da da da da da da na)
But time's got a way of fuckin' up my style
(da da da da, da da da da da da da da)

Always said it's easier
Holiday, oh (Easy, yeah)
Holiday (da da da da, da da da da)
Holiday, mm, oh (da da da da, da da da da, oh)

Always said it's easier
Holiday, yeah (Easy, yeah)
Holiday (da da da da, da da da da)
Holiday, mm, mm (da da da da, da da da da)

Holiday, Holiday, yeah, yeah
Holiday, Holiday, clean my mess
Holiday, Holiday, da da da da
Holiday, Holiday
Holiday, Holiday
Holiday, Holiday, oh yeah
Holiday, Holiday

SONG NOTES

They recorded this with a set of songs in 1 and a half days. We asked Joie what he thought he sang at the very end, mixed under the outro, and he laughed rather hard at Neal's suggestion of "clean my bass" ...as in the fish, not instrument (apparently Joie doesn't fish, learn something new every day). Actually, I guess we DID know that already (see the opening lines of the song "i"). Joie first thought it was "kiss my ass" but when meeting up with him again after the Norfolk show, he remembered it was "clean my mess" but said that if the song is ever played again/ever, "clean my bass" could be the official lyric. Now if they could just record the song with that lyric, maybe we could get a writing credit. ;)

Just to prove how insane I am, click on the picture below for a complete view of the "Dog" single I had Joie sign "clean my bass" on:
