About Hollywood

"Hollywood" is a rock song by Irish band The Cranberries. It is the fourth single from the band's third album, entitled To The Faithful Departed.

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]
