Where the Headcoatees sound was a blend of girl-group sounds and three-chord garage-rock, with all the original songs coming from the pen of Billy Childish, Holly’s solo sound is more a blend of pre-rock electric blues, folk, soul and less frantic elements of rock & roll. Apart from the wide range of covers of such artists as Willie Dixon, Ike Turner, Lee Hazelwood, Wreckless Eric, and Bill Withers, Golightly also writes her own material.
Since her debut LP in 1995, Golightly has been very prolific, releasing fifteen albums and a bounty of singles for a wide variety of labels. Holly’s sound has remained remarkably consistent throughout, but each record has a quality that sets it apart from the other releases.
In 1999 Surefire released an LP, In Blood, on which Billy Childish and Holly Golightly sing duets and the two of them celebrate One Chord, One Sound, One Song.
2001’s Desperate Little Town, released on Sympathy for The Record Industry, another collaboration (this time with Dan Melchior) marked a bit of a stylistic diversion as it is a relaxed and mostly acoustic record. In the same year she also collected up all thirteen of her singles and E.P’s onto one double album called Single’s Round-Up.
After playing several shows with The White Stripes, in the USA, and then supporting them at their some of their London shows, Holly has been good friends with Jack and Meg for some time, recording a duet with them ’It’s True That We Love One Another’, for their album Elephant.
Holly has also recorded in the US with The Greenhornes and they released a special Christmas 2002 single together on Damaged Goods called Little Stars. Holly appeared on the Greenhornes album Dual Mono which is out in the States on Telstar. And Holly sings lead vocal on the track ’There’s An End’, which featured as the title track for the film, Broken Flowers.
Over the years Holly has been guest vocalist on various other bands projects, including live with Mudhoney and on several Rocket From The Crypt releases. Her most recent album 2005’s ’Slowly But Surely’ released on Damaged Goods and recorded, as usual, by Liam Watson at ToeRag Studios in London.
There was also a 7", ’Walk A Mile’ taken from the album, with an exclusive b-side Don’t Fuck Around With Love featuring the ever wonderful Sexton Ming.

Holly Golightly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That it's nearly Christmas
What did I want and I thought
Just love me, love me, love me
That's what I want for Christmas
When I walk through a room
Let them see you need me
Let them see you love me, love me, love me
That's what I want for Christmas
Anyone can wish for all the trinkets in the window
Some can even buy the ones they see
But the presents that I want
(I want)
You'll never find in any window
Bring me love and bring it just for me
(For me)
When you come home at night
Take me in your arms and hold me
Kiss me, and say you love me, love me, love me
That's what I want for Christmas
Da doo da doo, hoo hoo hoo
Love me, love me, that's what I want
That's what I want for Christmas, yeah
Anyone can wish for all the trinkets in the window
Some can even buy the things they see
But the presents that I want
(I want)
You'll never find in any window
Bring me love and bring it just for me
(Just for me)
When you come home at night
And take me in your arms
And you hold me, and you kiss me
And say you love me, love me, love me
That's what I want for Christmas
Hold me, kiss me
(Hold me, kiss me)
