San Francisco Radio Edit Lyrics & Chords By The Tangent

I’ve seen this town in ruins
Its bridges broken twice
I’ve seen it take an earthquake
Bombarded by ice
Attacked by giant lizards
And leveled to the ground
I’ve seen it in the future
When there’s no-one around

But you can still buy a pizza
But you can still buy a pizza

And half the region’s folklore
Comes from the city jails
Whether it’s Clint or Johnny Cash
The underdog prevailed
I’ve walked the wharf with James Bond
Seen Gandalf lift the bridge
I was safely in England
When the aliens made their pitch

Oh San Francisco
What a world!
What a place!
What a life!!

Oh San Francisco
What a world!
What a place!
What a life!!

The future home of Starfleet
The last home of the Whales
A bird of prey still rustlng
Beneath your silver waves
Skyscraper infernos
Militia on the rock
Volkswagens that drive themselves
And apes that freely talk

Oh San Francisco
What a world!
What a place!
What a life!!

Oh San Francisco
What a world!
What a place!
What a life!!

Who’s the band who gets all the chicks?
The Tangent!
You’re damn right.

Oh San Francisco
What a world!
What a place!
What a life!!
(Did we get it right?)

Oh San Francisco
What a world!
What a place!
What a life!!
(Did we get it right?)

The Tangent!

Oh San Francisco
What a world!
What a place!
What a life!!

Oh San Francisco
What a world!
What a place!
What a life!!

America, did we get it right?
San Francisco
San Francisco

America, did we get it right?
Oh San Francisco
What a world!
What a place!

But I’m just eavesdropping
On an LED screen
From the centre of England
Do I believe what I’ve seen?
Will I ever walk those streets again?
