  • Hip, hip
    Hip, hip
    Hip, hip
    Hip, hip

    When you're on a holiday
    You can't find the words to say
    All the things that come to you
    And I wanna feel it too

    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

    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

    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

    We'll run away together
    We'll spend some time forever
    We'll never feel bad anymore

    Hip, hip
    Hip, hip
    Hip, hip

    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

    We'll run away together
    We'll spend some time forever
    We'll never feel bad anymore

    Hip, hip
    (We'll never feel bad anymore)
    Hip, hip
    (No) hip, (no), hip
    (We'll never feel bad anymore)
    Hip, hip

  • Bmn from Hisuan, ArgentinaNo, Alex. That girl played on Undone. Rivers played Island In The Sun acoustically standing in the middle of the crowd.
  • Alec from Mechanicsburg, Sdthey did a concert in japan, and this girl in the audience was holding a sign that said "let me play your guitar". they brought her on stage and she got to play the guitar on this song.
  • Zane from Kenosha, WiThis is one of their best songs.
  • Heather from San Jose, Cai love this song. It really is a good song, simple and sweet.
  • Matt from Boston, MaFantastic song really another really good song well done, well done.
  • Jeff from Austin, Txfantastic song. I was kind of shocked to hear some other dude singing a version of it on a commercial the other day. I wouldnt think Rivers would ever let that happen. I dont think he needs the money, so Im kind of confused.
  • Amanda from Evergreen, Coi think weezer is an AMAZING band and this is one of my favorite songs by them....
  • Billy from Calgary, CanadaI think it's about drugs or even other 'escape' mechanisms that help you get away from reality. Key phrases here are 'And it makes me feel so fine
    I can't control my brain', which obviously means that when you do drugs or other things similar to it, you feel good, but you can't really control yourself.
  • Austin from Smallsville, NeIts about an addiction
  • James from Gettysburg, PaThis is such a cool groove. Laura Ingraham's radio talk show always ends the hour with this song.
  • Justin from Georgetown, Inweezer was alot better before "beverly hills" and "we are all on drugs" shame..
  • Izzy from Buffalo, Nyfunny that the same band that made 'we are all on drugs' and 'beverly hills' made this song. i love it! i love the music video also(the on where they're with the animals) its just so...happy!
