Iâve seen this town in ruins
Its bridges broken twice
Iâve seen it take an earthquake
Bombarded by ice
Attacked by giant lizards
And leveled to the ground
Iâve seen it in the future
When thereâs no-one around
But you can still buy a pizza
But you can still buy a pizza
And half the regionâs folklore
Comes from the city jails
Whether itâs Clint or Johnny Cash
The underdog prevailed
Iâve 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!!
Whoâs the band who gets all the chicks?
The Tangent!
Youâre 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 Iâm just eavesdropping
On an LED screen
From the centre of England
Do I believe what Iâve seen?
Will I ever walk those streets again?
