Gonzales dreamt up and conducted a full orchestral reworking of Hollywood, inspired by the songs lyrics. Marina & Gonzales came together to record one performance for an Eastern European TV show...this footage has only now been uncovered...

“The Family Jewels is a body of work largely inspired by the seduction of commercialism, modern social values, family and female sexuality. Each song was intricately produced and written by myself, and my only hope is for it to be enjoyed and consumed as a story and theory that encourages people to question themselves.” - MARINA

LYRICS
[Intro]
American queen is the American dream
American queen is the American dream

[Verse 1]:
She is a Polish girl in America
Tall, tanned, hot blond, called Anja
I asked her, "Why would you wanna be a Hollywood wife?"
"Because I don't want to end up living in a dive on Vine
A dive on Vine"

[Verse 2]
Air hostesses doing gossip magazine
Crosswords on a flight to JFK
Thirty-nine years old
With a mile-high sheen
Trying to stimulate a mind
That is slowly starting to decay

[Pre-Chorus]
I itch my skin, I jump up and say
"Lady, I know why your thoughts turn grey."

[Chorus]
Hollywood infected your brain
You wanted kissing in the rain, oh, oh
Living in a movie scene
Puking American dreams, oh, oh
I'm obsessed with the mess that's America, ooh
I'm obsessed with the mess that's America

[Verse 3]
A fat security making place for me
Soon as I touch down in old L.A
He said, "Oh, my god, you look just like Shakira
No, no, you're Catherine Zeta!"
"Actually, my name's Marina"

[Pre-Chorus]
Your mind is just like mine –
All filled up with things benign
You're looking for the golden lie

[Chorus 2]
Hollywood infected your brain
You wanted kissing in the rain, oh, oh
I've been living in a movie scene
Puking American dreams, oh, oh
I'm obsessed with the mess that's America, ooh
I'm obsessed with the mess that's America

[Bridge]
American dream is the American queen
American queen is the American dream
Is the American dream

[Chorus]
Hollywood infected your brain
You wanted kissing in the rain, oh, oh
I've been living in a movie scene
Puking American dreams, oh, oh
Hollywood infected your brain
You wanted kissing in the rain, oh, oh
I've been living in a movie scene
Puking American dreams, oh, oh
I'm obsessed with the mess that's America, woo-hoo
I'm obsessed with the mess that's America
