Send "Hollywood" Ringtone to Cell

I've got a picture in my head
In my head
It's me and you we are in bed
We are in bed

You've always been there when I called
When I called
You've always been there most of all, all, all, all

[Chorus]
This is not Hollywood
Like I understood
Is not Hollywood
Like, like, like
Get away, get away,
Is there anybody there?
Get away, get away,
Is there anybody there?
Get away, get away, get away, away

I've got a picture in my room
In my room
I will return there I presume
It will be soon
The greatest irony of all
Should do all
It's not so glamorous at all, all, all

[Chorus]

Send "Hollywood" Ringtone to Cell

    General Comment:I think that this song is about how life and love is not like it is in Hollywood. Hollywood and the movies and TV are simply not reality. I LOVE the Cranberries, they're so original.

    General Comment:here's the lyrics as if a retard didn't write them:


    I've got a picture in my head (in my head)
    It's me and you , we are in bed (we are in bed)
    You'll always be there when I call (when I call)
    You'll always be there most of all (all, all, all)

    This is not Hollywood

    This is not Hollywood,
    like I understood
    This is not Hollywood
    like, like, like

    Away, runaway, is there anybody there
    Away, runaway, isn't anybody there?
    Get away, get away, get away
    Get away, get away, get away

    I've got a picture in my room, (in my room)
    I will return there I presume. (should be soon)
    The greatest irony of all, (shoot the wall)
    It's not so glamorous at all (at all at all)

    This is not Hollywood
    like I understood
    This is not Hollywood
    like, like, like

    This is not Hollywood
    like I understood
    This is not Hollywood
    like, like, like

    General Comment:Well, I first thought of this song when I was at a place which was not how its fame is. And I was in love with a girl, whom I never proposed. So to me, it also sounds like a cry from a loner who loves someone to save him, while she is actually not their.

    General Comment:This song means that life in couple is not like what we see on TV. The guy is always there for the girl... and the girl is always there for the boy Hollywood shows this kind of picture on TV. In real life, this is bullshit so we we keep on looking at the posters we have in our bedroom.... dreamin hollywood dream is true...
