Holly was the kind of girl the cameras liked
She could play the part of poet that's kept behind the mic
And whilst i've always dreamed of making it in Hollywood
I know that if she'd had a second chance then Holly could
And i did all that i could to help
Yeah i've done all that i can to help
By the time that she was twenty she had driven insane
On her way back out she crashed straight into crack cocaine
And whilst i'd never once condemed i did not agree
That's why i think Holly fell to fall in love with me
But i did all that i could to help
Yeah i've done all that i can to help
I layed down my anchor
and i said let's make a stand
'Cause i'm leaving only when
i've done all that i can
She cleaned her act up burnt her shackles and chains
And she rid herself of men who used their fists for their brains
And she cotched upon a couch within the neighbors' space
Til she'd saved enough to pay the lease on her own place
But i did all that i could to help
Yeah i've done all that i can to help
She used to brush past all the students of art
She said they're masters of their craft but i am far too smart
And i've always fancied studying humanitites
And she passed with first-class honours in philosophy
But i did all that i could to help
Yeah i've done all that i can to help
I layed down my anchor
and i said let's make a stand
'Cause i'm leaving only when
i've done all that i can
A car was being naughty down a one-way street
And it crushed her brittle bones right from her head to her feet
And as i knelt over her body and i prayed to god
I lost faith in everything that ever has been oh
But i did all that i could to help
Yeah i've done all that i can to help
I layed down my anchor
and i said let's make a stand
'Cause i'm leaving only when
i've done all that i can
