Hollywood (Album Version) | Marina & The Diamonds

I really liked the single version, but then... the album version just blew my mind! Had to share it! (The Album version includes a new, unheard verse!

Lyrics:

American queen is the American dream
American queen is the American dream

She is a Polish girl in America
Tall, tanned hot blonde called Anya
I asked her Why would you wanna be a hollywood wife?
Because I dont want to end up living in a dive on Vine,
A dive on Vine"
Air Hostesses doing gossip magazine crosswords on flight to JFK,
Thirty-Nine years old with a (Unknown)
trying to stimulate a mind that is slowly starting to decay,
I itch my skin, I jump up and say
"Lady, I know why your thoughts turn grey"

[Chorus]
Hollywood infected your brain
You wanted kissing in the rain
Oh oh, Living in a movie scene
Puking American dreams
Oh oh, Im obsessed with the mess thats America
Im obsessed with the mess thats America

I fight security making plays for me
As soon as I touch down in old LA, he said,

Oh my god, you look just like Shakira
No no, youre Catherine Zeta
Actually, my names Marina

Your mind is just like mine
All filled up with things benign
Youre looking for the golden lie

[Chorus]
Hollywood infected your brain
You wanted kissing in the rain
Oh oh, Ive been living in a movie scene
Puking American dreams
Oh oh, Im obsessed with the mess thats America
Im obsessed with the mess thats America

American dream is the American queen
American queen is the American dream
Is the American dream
Hollywood infected your brain
You wanted kissing in the rain
Oh oh, Im living in a movie scene
Puking American dreams
Hollywood infected your brain
You wanna kissing in the rain
Oh oh, Im living in a movie scene
Puking American dreams
Oh oh, Im obsessed with the mess thats America
Im obsessed with the mess thats America

Does any1 know why there are 2 versions???

[OMGgaiaonlinekool]

@CoreyToTheBizzle

probably because the radio needed a shorter version, so they removed the second-half of the 1st verse :P

[sommersonnenwende]

The unknown words are "mile-high sheen" :)

The first verse sounds better cut off lol. The song is still great though. U go Marina Why can't I be British lol

[DavidM620]

I had no idea there was two versions till today. I ordered her CD and I was reading along the lyrics to "Hollywood" when I noticed that there was the added verse. I live in the US so the CD doesn't include the album version. Just the single one. This should have been the one and only version. The extra verse adds to this song and without I don't think the song is whole!.

[StarryEyedFlorence]

I must say, this version is so much darker than the radio version because of the added verse. I never knew the meaning behind it until I actually saw the lyrics. I have a completely different view on the song now.... Very cool.

@GmailJMS really? didnt notice she said all polish people were "Tall tan hot blondes".

[GmailJMS]

I see polish people where I live all the time and none of them are '' tall tanned hot blondes''.

[ShaunSteinfeger]
