Top 10 Hole Songs

8. Pacific Coast Highway

A lesson in losing yourself, ‘Pacific Coast Highway’ charts murky waters with lyrics such as “I’m overwrought and so disgraced / I’m too ashamed to show my face / They’re coming to take me away now.” Co-written by Billy Corgan, of The Smashing Pumpkins fame, the track is self-deprecation at its finest. Further to that, ‘Pacific Coast Highway’ immerses itself in the claustrophobic confusion that so many of us often find ourselves trapped by: “I’m bloody and totally bound / I don’t know what to do with my hands now.”

Perhaps, one of the most overtly romantic songs from the Hole catalogue, ‘Pacific Coast Highway’ documents the overwhelming and all-consuming manifestation that love can take in a person’s heart. “I’ve lost myself completely”, in this track time and time again.
