Santa Monica Lyrics
Well I remember
you used to say that you you want
a revolution
Someday
funny how you thought you'd
Cause I remember you be tied down and screaming
I was this bad boy who never listened
Well no one else wanted the man who can't believe it
And you go down
After all this
Well I remember you be tied down and screaming
[chorus]
Santa Monica
Put up your hands
We surrounded your promised land
The British army
was wating for command
Santa Monica
you've got no chance
And the day was
After all these men go to their beds
And you wish they're back well
Well I remember you be tied down and screaming
[chorus]
Santa Monica
Put up your hands
We surrounded your promised land
British Army
wating for command
Santa Monica
you've got no chance
And the day ends
With sound
All horizons go out with the ground
And you wish you're back well
Well I remember you be tied down and screaming
[chorus]
Santa Monica
Put up your hands
We surrounded your promised land
The British army
wating for command
Santa Monica
you've got no chance
and you wish you're back well
and you wish you're back well
and you wish you're back well
and the day was
and the day was
and the day was
and the day ends when you're tied down and screaming
[chorus]
Santa Monica
Put up your hands
We surrounded your promised land
The British army
wating for command
Santa Monica
you've got no
chance
you've got no
chance
you've got no
chance
you've got no
you've got no
chance
you used to say that you you want
a revolution
Someday
funny how you thought you'd
I was this bad boy who never listened
Well no one else wanted the man who can't believe it
And you go down
After all this
Santa Monica
Put up your hands
We surrounded your promised land
The British army
was wating for command
Santa Monica
you've got no chance
And you wish they're back well
Well I remember you be tied down and screaming
Santa Monica
Put up your hands
We surrounded your promised land
British Army
wating for command
Santa Monica
you've got no chance
All horizons go out with the ground
And you wish you're back well
Well I remember you be tied down and screaming
Santa Monica
Put up your hands
We surrounded your promised land
The British army
wating for command
Santa Monica
you've got no chance
and you wish you're back well
and you wish you're back well
and the day was
and the day was
Santa Monica
Put up your hands
We surrounded your promised land
The British army
wating for command
Santa Monica
you've got no
chance
chance
you've got no
chance
you've got no
you've got no
chance

Santa Monica Rugby Club has a tradition dating back to 1905 of playing the British Army in rugby. It's a popular destination for foreign rugby teams because, well, it's California. I think that's what this song is about
British Soldiers invaded Santa Monica, seemingly. But this is a very emotional and moving song I love it. Is this on Sounding A Mosaic?
its on root fire. both are great cds!
it sounds like something else (another song) but i dunno what.
This song is chilling, I love it
Totally brilliant..
I first heard this song when bedouin came up to nipissing university, and it was pretty powerful, beautiful song.
Well played...Sweet little song, Lovely lyrics
I love this song and the feelings it portrays, and just how poetic and moving it is. It's definitely among my favorite soundclash songs.
I really wish I knew what they were talking about though, since Santa Monica was obviously never attacked by Britain. I want to know what inspired them to write the song and what it means.
I agree with you guys. I wonder if it has to do with like the invasion of like british music or something. I guess that's pretty farfetched but I was just thinking the revolution line is reminiscent of the Beatles, plus the whole british army thing. Such an epic song, I wish we knew what it was about!
