Lyrics/Song Setup
(Intro)
Hip hip
(Drums come in)
Hip hip
(Bass comes in)
Hip Hip
Hip Hip

When you're on a holiday
You can't find your words to say
All the things just come to you
And I wanna feel it too
(Guitar 2 Comes In)
On an island in the sun
We'll be playin' and havin' fun
And it makes me feel so fine
I can't control my brain
(Guitar 2 Stops)
Hip Hip
Hip Hip

When you're on a golden sea
You don't need no memory
Just a place to call your own
As we drift into the zone
(Guitar 2 Comes In)
On an island in the sun
We'll be playin' and havin' fun
And it makes me feel so fine
I can't control my brain

(Chorus, Both Guitars Play)
We'll run away together
We'll spend some time forever
We'll never feel that anymore...
Hip Hip
Hip Hip
Hip Hip
(Guitar 2 Plays Solo, Guitar 1 Plays Verse Chords)

(Guitar 2 Plays Pre-Chorus, Guitar 1 Plays Verse Chords)
On an island in the sun
We'll be playin' and havin' fun
And it makes me feel so fine
I can't control my brain

(Chorus, Both Guitars Play)
We'll run away together
We'll spend some time forever
We'll never feel that anymore
(Guitar 1 plays verse chords)
Hip Hip
Hip Hip (You never feel that anymore)
(Guitar 2 plays pre-chorus riff)
Hip Hip
Hip Hip (No, No)
