| i got this song on a tape given away with melody maker newspaper back in 1995 or 96 and its been a favourite of mine since. love the lyrics saying But don't you know I should have stayed in England On my polluted beach With all my special friends its meaning is basically as much as the sunshine holiday is great, England is where there hearts are, where they know whats what and whos who. the humour in the lyrics is very typically british, comedy nuns and self efacing words. it does put me in a good mood to listen to this song. | |

| Liam&Noel say... Bonehead's Bank Holiday- "Well, you know how The Beatles used to like get Ringo to sing the odd tune here and there? Well, heīs (Bonehead) our Ringo isnīt he, you see? And heīs ugly as sin, you know what I mean? Completely untalented and the luckiest man in rock so we thought weīd write him a song, you know what I mean? Boneheadīs Bank Holiday - Itīs about nicking cars and going to Spain and meeting girls whoīs mothers are nuns." | |

| Definetely a summer song. Great chord progression of sevenths. It's only on the vinyl of Whats The Story, I'm sorry. Great lyrics - so relaxing, you feel stoned! If there ever was a lyric that Noel showed how much he loved England, it would be here. Like Don Logan of Sexy Beast - he is a true Brit! | |
