about

Ezra notes: Though this track does not represent the album well as a whole, I wanted you to know that this album was about despair from track one, and Holiday says that better than any other song on the album.

The song was very different before Matt Talbert's guitar was laid on it. It was a much more subdued feel as i remember, I think his guitars guided the rest of the track. Tim Taylor on a grand piano we got to use at a big ritzy house, but it was the house sitter who let us use the piano, I doubt the owner knew we set up a big studio in their living room for a few nights.

lyrics

Holiday by Ezra /Thomas

I’m giving up
I’m breaking through
for a moment I was satisfied within the truth

I’m packing heat
I’m on your street
at the corner or the grocery store
you're looking sweet
I’m seventeen
I’m on your screen
ya your daddy’s little favorite whore is waiting here
just for you

Everyday’s a holiday
just waiting for you
Everyday’s a holiday

I’m on the floor
I’m counting change
but tonight I’ll be flying high the golden vein
I need a cure
I need the pain
cause it reminds me that I’ll never be the same
ya i’ll never be the same

Everyday’s a holiday
just waiting for you
Everyday’s a holiday

Give me shelter for my shame
give me demons in my veins
give me fever when I’m breaking up
and love beyond my gain
give me comfort, sex and pain
give me poison in the rain
give me nothing cause this not enough
is something more than I can take

Everyday’s a holiday
just waiting for you
Everyday’s a holiday
just waiting for you
Everyday
