Counting Crows own "Holiday in Spain" not me..
We were heroes; we beat the big bad sorceress. A newspaper editorial cartoon depicted us as angels banishing the sorceress... we're not angels. Who ever heard of an angel with a gun? We had people fawning all over us, people wanting to marry us, kids wanting to be us... you'd never believe how many kids were running around with little plastic gunblades for months after, and temporary tattoo scars on their foreheads. We were famous all over the world... but believe me, it isn't all it's cracked up to be.
~We got airplane rides, We got california drowning out the window side, We got big black cars and we got stories how slept with all the movie stars~
That's what they all were--stories, and nothing else. People try to ruin you when you reach the top. All I ever wanted to be was me, not some big shot.
~Take a Holiday in Spain, Leave my wings behind me, Drink my worries down the drain, and fly away to somewhere new~
Somewhere new... yeah, I wish. No matter where we went, there were parades and days named for us. From the tiniest little villages to the huge mega cities, everybody knew us. I wanted to run and scream and never come back. Run to the remotest part of the world until all the hype went down... and even there, someone probably would've known us.
~I may take a holiday in Spain Leave my wings behind me Drive this little girl insane Fly away to someone new~
I would leave, so help me Hyne, I would leave and never come back. But I couldn't leave her back there even if I tried. My sunshine. She's the only thing keeping me sane sometimes. She handles all the press for me... don't know what I'd do without her.
~She's my angel She's a little better then the one that used to be with me Because she liked to scream at me, And it's a mircle that she's not living up in a tree~
People everywhere held parties for us--wanted us for t.v movies and specials. It'll never be the same, it'll always be refered to as "Before Soceress" and "After deafeat". It's so wrong... The attention was great in the beginning, but when you wake up one morning and don't remember where you are, it's time to stop.
~Everybody's gone they left the television screaming that the radio's on, someone stole my shoes but there's a couple of bananas and a bottle of booze~
The T.V's flashing our pictures again. Radio's blaring victory music over and over. My boots are gone; a souvenir to sell one day when we're old and gray...or dead. A "piece of the legend". I need to get away, it's too much. Everyone else can handle it, I can't. Selphie loves the spotlight, Rinoa goes on and on how her knight saved her, and Squall knew this was gonna happen. He has everything under control, I'm gonna snap, I know it! Then what are they gonna do with a crazy sharp shooter? Hopefully send me away someplace nice and quiet, with no t.v's and no one who knows me. But that's only wishful thinking. All I ever wanted was a thank you, a pat on the back....
~I may take a holiday in Spain leave my wings behind me flush my worries down the drain and fly away to somewhere new~
...I never wanted this.
