Lyrics
Mr. Holiday I’m suffocating from your expectations He said shortly before he left His beautiful daughter, his faithful wife The parting words left her feeling bereft Visits are every other weekend She felt so alone, torn apart Her eyes clearly told - that she thought it was her fault What made her father want to break her heart The days turned to weeks, it was always the same Rarely he took her anywhere Too busy to visit, to busy to call She felt so abandoned, like he didn’t care I’m overbooked, I’m out of town, too many things are on my mind He picked another sentence from his list of excuses He smiled and said, maybe next week we can find the time To do whatever you might choose Goodbye mr. Holiday – I appreciate your effort Trying to make me whole – and raise me up Goodbye mr. Holiday – I can’t say I miss you quite enough I’m not sorry, I only have to say There will be no chocolate heart for you on Valentines Day Alone in her room she played music Wrote her heart in her secret diary Daydreamed away, that her daddy was home Her hopes and wishes were her sobriety Birthdays they came, not even a card No one there on Fathers day at school Her mother defined the space in her life But she knew different, she was no ones fool (She said) I’m overbooked, I’m out of town, too many things are on my mind She picked another sentence from her fathers excuses She smiled and said, surely next week we can find the time To do whatever you might choose Goodbye Mr. Holiday..

Such sad lyrics (nearly hidden by the rocking vibe), but sung with absolute heartfelt sincerity. And of course the music is top-notch. Great production by all involved!! :)

Fabulous song with great lyrics. Awesome guitar playing and 'what a tone' !. Your vocals have a slightly Mark Knopfler feel to them (which I like, and mean as a compliment) :) this is an outstanding colaboration. A tremendously catchy song. A HIT :)

Fantastic tune and top notch production - but what a deep and sad lyric underneath - love the way this contrasts with the upbeat music - bittersweet and powerful. Great vocal and brilliant guitar from Mr F too! Wonderful.

Heartfelt, compelling, and thoughtful lyrics beautiifully expressed. Such a sweet, rocking, melodic, memorable performance all around. Great signature vocal work, superb production as usual, and Finn's fiery and tone-rich guitar work is well beyond great!
