Thematically similar to Pink Floyd’s “Have a Cigar”, “One Big Holiday” is My Morning Jacket’s description of an up-and-coming band’s experience of being courted by record label executives whose priority is commerce over art.
[Verse 1]
Waking up feeling
Good and limber
When the telephone it ring
Was a bad man from
California
Telling of a stone he'd bring
I'd bring
[Hook]
And of
Better days
From this town
We'd escape
If we holler loud
And make our way
We'd all live
One big holiday
[Verse 2]
So we listened and
Up the reverb
And recorded all those sounds
Was some shaking and some
Record playing
All the leather kids were loud
