December 1987, just dropped my future wife off at LAX and drove back to Hollywood thinking I would never see her again.... Sat in a diner and a girl is flirting with me....I tell her I'm the saddest man in Hollywood....she leaves...

lyrics

And we were cruising the freeways We were lost in love and so alive Hollywood you’re breaking all the rules

It was slow go baby on the 101
But we don’t care, cause we’re having fun In tears with laughter
Hollywood, you’re breaking all the rules

First you say you love me
But then you say you don’t
And now you say you wanna move on

When love breaks down She’s going back to town She’s going back to town When love breaks down She’s going back to town

Well LAX is the loneliest place in the world to find yourself When love takes off and leaves you
Staring in a coffee cup
Sitting in a coffee shop

So why don’t you stay, just stay the afternoon
Cause we both know that you’re leaving soon Hollywood you’re breaking all the rules

Another Margarita before I drive you home
But then you go and tell me that you’re going it alone
First you say you love me and then you say you don’t
And now you say you wanna move on

One minute you say you love me, the next you say you don’t You’re leaving me but leading me on
Hollywood, Hollywood

The Sunset on Melrose way down to El Coyote We never had to wait in line
The Whisky, the Roxy, the frozen Margaritas The Roosevelt at closing time
When all the lights go down
Love just lets you down
Follow your dreams but they get away
In this tinsel town
Love just lets you down
Down down deeper and down Hollywood

I love this album. I didn't grow up in West Cumbria but I feel closer to its places and its people through these songs. " How can I possibly love you when I feel so alone " is one of the most devastatingly melancholy lines I've ever heard. Thank you for your music Francis Dunnery ewanpaulscarlett
