San Franciscan Nights Lyrics
This following program is dedicated to the city and people of San Francisco, who may not know it but they are beautiful and so is their city this is a very personal song, so if the viewer cannot understand it particularly those of you who are European residents save up all your bread and fly trans love airways to San Francisco U.S.A., then maybe you'll understand the song, it will be worth it, if not for the sake of this song, but for the sake of your own peace of mind.
Strobe lights beam, creates dreams
walls move, minds to do
on a warm San Francisco night
old child young child feel alright
on a warm San Francisco night
angels sing, leather wings
jeans of blue, Harley Davisons too
on a warm San Francisco night
old angels young angels feel alright
on a warm San Francisco night.
I wasn't born there, perhaps I'll die there
there's no place left to go, San Francisco.
Cop's face is filled with hate
heavens above he's on a street called love
when will they ever learn
old cop young cop feel alright
on a warm San Francisco night
the children are cool
they don't raise fools
it's an american dream
includes indians too
walls move, minds to do
on a warm San Francisco night
old child young child feel alright
on a warm San Francisco night
angels sing, leather wings
jeans of blue, Harley Davisons too
on a warm San Francisco night
old angels young angels feel alright
on a warm San Francisco night.
there's no place left to go, San Francisco.
heavens above he's on a street called love
when will they ever learn
old cop young cop feel alright
on a warm San Francisco night
the children are cool
they don't raise fools
it's an american dream
includes indians too
Tne all time greatest hippie tribute song. (Okay one of about twemty). Tells about the mood, the scene, the laid back attitude, the troubles. Very under played on the oldies air waves.
Does "Angels sing....Harley Davidson's too" refer to Hells Angels?
I'm told that a lot of hippies heard this song and migrated to San Francisco under the impression that the nights there are warm. In truth, the city is perpetually covered in fog, and according to the old saying attributed (incorrectly) to Mark Twain, "The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco."
San Francisco has mostly fair weather. It's not too cold there, but not too hot either.
