Nuclear Holiday

Is this success?
Tuesday night and penniless
Sign on
Chill out
Skin up
It's your shout
Forgone, I am
In life, I'm damned

This is like Hollywood
All front, No depth, No good
This is my Hollywood
I'd run, I wish I could

Too blind, not me
I've seen the scenery
Palm trees, blue skies
Blown out, snake eyes
You're not, I am
Is this too much too understand?

This is like Hollywood
All front, No depth, No good
This is my Hollywood
I'd run, I wish I could

Who want's to live in Hollywood?
I don't think I could...
You like to think you live in a world so good

This is like Hollywood
All front, No depth, No good
This is my Hollywood
I'd run, I wish I could

This is my Hollywood
This is my Hollywood
This is my Hollywood
This is my Hollywood

In my head - I can get so far away
The colours here are bright, not black or grey
And my imaginary friends - we always get our way
The madness never ends, and I just want to stay
But then
I wake
To seek
Escape
Escape.. again

Hey, hey, hey - this day has gone to fast
With people like you, make it seem like it's the last
Selfish, helpless and not a part of me
You'll never make me what I don't want to be

Your words
Spread round
The same
Dead town
Dead town.. and streets

You'll never see what I believe
Till it's sunny in England.. yeah, yeah

And in
The rain
You soak
The pain
And grieve.. and all you do is grieve

You'll never see what I believe
Till it's sunny in England.. yeah, yeah

Sometimes I lose this memory
Ain't it good to be in England

So smile, the sixty mile smile
Headlight apocalypse
Sunrise, just for a while
Inject a drip

Sixty mile smile (on and on and on and on)
Sixty mile smile (on and on and on and on)

Appetites of the soul
In teeth of a snake
Filling up any hole
You're all afraid

To smile the sixty mile smile
I get so tired of being down
We fall in elegant style
Without a sound

I'm back in from the cold
Something you can't fake
True feelings on parole
We're all afraid

Sixty mile smile (on and on and on and on)
Sixty mile smile (on and on and on and on)

Appetites of the soul
In teeth of a snake
In a crowd, you're all alone
You're all afraid
You're all afraid
You're all afraid
You're all afraid

To smile the sixty mile smile
To smile the sixty mile smile
So smile the sixty mile smile (on and on and on and on)
So smile the sixty mile smile (on and on and on and on)

I see the smoke clear but I ain't watching the screen
I get the joke, and yes I know what it means
Don't think I'm dead I still believe it
You all come and go but nobody sees it
Been walking round like a space cadet
With a bubble around my head
I don't remember the things you taught me
I just remember the things you said
Are lies that paralyse
Don't step on me man look at your own skies
Lies add no surprise
I get the feeling that it's me and the sunrise

A pointless phone call, imminent panic
I got the main ball, but I don't want it
Pull down the blind I think I'm in it again
Why don't we ever get the signals we send?

And when the threads are false and warn
I just want to be reborn
I think I'm getting the pains again
I think I've lost all my so called friends
Are lies that paralyse
Don't step on me man look at your own skies
Lies add no surprise
I get the feeling that it's me and the sunrise

Been walking around like a space cadet
With a bubble around my head
I don't remember the things you taught me
I just remember the things you said
Are lies that paralyse
Don't step on me man look at your own skies
Lies add no surprise
I get the feeling that its me and the sunrise
Lies that paralyse
Don't step on me man look at your own skies
Lies add no surprise
I get the feeling that its me and the sunrise.

I had the best intentions... yeah honestly
I paid attention
I'm a loose connection... some promise me
A soft injection
A shallow feeling
Defies meaning
I need a holiday
To blow you all away
Lose all the stiffs in my parade
I need a holiday
A nuclear holiday
Just go anywhere, I'll stay

Fell on the outside
Where giving in comes in like the tide
And everybody's shining
Perfecting moments in timing

A shallow feeling
Defies meaning
I need a holiday
To blow you all away
Lose all the stiffs in my parade
I need a holiday
A nuclear holiday
Just go anywhere, I'll stay

If I talk your talk the words I say
Come back around a different way
The end is just a breath away
If you ain't got a weapon then you'll never get a say

I need a holiday
To blow you all away
Lose all the stiffs in my parade
I need a holiday
A nuclear holiday
Just go anywhere, I'll stay
I need a holiday
A nuclear holiday
Lose all the stiffs in my parade
I need a holiday
A nuclear holiday
Just go anywhere, I'll stay

Things we wanted, but never seen
Just got back, but we never been
Only home when in pictures running in my head
'Cause I don't believe in nothing, speak the truth instead
They'll be running round in circles overrating the world
I'll be dreaming about the fit boy and faint girl
Cold in the summer, burned by your freeze
Old newcomer, born to say please
Only home when in pictures running in my head
'Cause I don't believe in nothing, speak the truth instead
They'll be running round in circles overrating the world
I'll be dreaming about the fit boy and faint girl
Don't try to tell her that its alright
There's clouds in her mind
There could be time before the lights out
And I may just find
That if she's alright, I'll be alright
Burned up in winter, cold in the sun
Brand new acquaintance, who knows no-one
Only home when in pictures running in my head
'Cause I don't believe in nothing, speak the truth instead
They'll be running round in circles overrating the world
I'll be dreaming about the fit boy and faint girl

When the one thing in your life comes crashin'
What you gonna do?
When naievety was my energy
Like power was you tool
And you broke me down like diamonds
Turned my blood to rust
Abuser of an innocence
Your real love was lust

'Cause you had to be something
Be someone
And play, play, play, play games with heads
Got the chill when you passed go
You had me like a remote
All you wanted was control

'Cause you had to be something
Be someone
And here are the terms on which you'll live:
I'll hate who I want, and I'll give when I give

And just because you're insecure
Doesn't mean you couldn't be pure
Doesn't mean you couldn't be pure

One lie for one lie
And now I bet you're happy
And you let it go so soon
Always at the back of my mind

You had to be something
Be someone
And here are the terms on which you'll live:
I'll hate who I want, and I'll give when I give

And just because you're insecure
Doesn't mean you couldn't be pure
Doesn't mean you couldn't be pure
Doesn't mean you couldn't be pure
Doesn't mean you couldn't be pure
