California

by WESTLIFE

Sitting in a park in Paris, France
Reading the news and it sure looks bad
They won't give peace a chance
That was just a dream some of us had
Still a lot are left to see
But I wouldn't want to stay here
It's too old and cold and settled in its ways here
Oh, but california
California I'm coming home
I'm going to see the folks I dig
I'll even kiss a sunset pig
California I'm coming home

I met a redneck on a Grecian isle
Who did the goat dance very well
He gave me back my smile
But he kept my camera to sell
Oh the rogue, the red red rogue
He cooked good omelettes and stews
And I might have stayed on with him there
But my heart cried out for you, California
California I'm coming home
Oh make me feel good rock'n roll band
I'm your biggest fan
California, I'm coming home

[Chorus:]

Oh it gets so lonely
When you're walking
And the streets are full of strangers
All the news of home you read
Just gives you the blues
Just gives you the blues

So I bought me a ticket
I caught a plane to Spain
Went to a party down a red dirt road
There were lots of pretty people there
Reading rolling stone, reading vogue
They said, how long can you hang around?
I said a week, maybe two,
Just until my skin turns brown
Then I'm going home to California
California I'm coming home
Will you take me as I am
Strung out on another man
California I'm coming home
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
Yeah
Take me as I am
Will you
Will you

California

by La roux

I'm all chalked out on the ground by the curtain call.
All of the sharp observations are a paper trail forty stories tall,
Where any conclusions might slip through my fingers.
As I'm listening to the story she's telling now...

It's a beautiful life,
It's a beautiful lie.

When it's late she's still talking about California.
Where the distance from the myth has never been greater.
From the sea to the boulevard stretching her arms to the desert.

It's a beautiful life,
Such a beautiful lie...
It's a beautiful life,
But she's leading me one step behind
With a promise one day we'll arrive

And if she ever runs out of California,
She's always got, she's always got last summer
In a state of mind with occasional tremors

It's a beautiful life
Under restless and fluroescent skies
She's all coloured all into the lines, lines, lines, lines, lines...

It's a beautiful life
And she's leading me one step behind
With a promise one day we'll arrive, one day we'll arrive, one day we'll arrive...

When I get there I...
When I get there I...
I'm always one step behind...

California

by Peaches

When the coast of California
sinks into the ocean
and the ice poles are water
and England's green and pleasant land
is all desert sand
no one will answer you when you call
when even the farthest stars
start collapsing
back to the beginning
and there's no room for heaven
when the world is an old man with no time for the future
will love mean a thing?
does love mean a thing now anyway?
make me a drink Caroline
tall and icy
who can sleep with all of this noise?
thank you Caroline
Caroline goodnight!

California

by Martina Topley-Bird

Screw California
And friends that are never there
And places that they oughta
Pretend that they even care

From a false family, she could light you up
Like a holiday tree in the summer

So lead us there

So screw California
And ice that will never melt
From hearts of the modern
Children of Cicero

From a false family, she could light you up
Like a holiday tree in the summer

So lead us there

We've been on the run
Driving in the sun
Looking out for number one
California here we come
Right back where we started from

Hustlers grab your guns
Your shadow weighs a ton
Driving down the 101
California here we come
Right back where we started from

California (California)
Here we come

On the stereo
Listen as we go
Nothing is gonna stop me now
California here we come
Right back where we started from

Pedal to the floor
Thinking of the war
Gotta get us to the show
California here we come
Right back where we started from

California (California)
Here we come

California(California)
Here we come

Hemos estado en la carrera
Conducir en el sol
Cuidado con los número uno
California aquí venimos
De vuelta donde empezamos de

Hustlers coger sus armas
Tu sombra pesa una tonelada
Conduciendo por la 101
California aquí venimos
De vuelta donde empezamos de

De California (California)
Aquí nos encontramos

En el estéreo
Escucha a medida que avanzamos
Nada se va a detenerme ahora
California aquí venimos
De vuelta donde empezamos de

Pedal al suelo
Pensando en la guerra
Gotta Get nosotros a la feria
California aquí venimos
De vuelta donde empezamos de

De California (California)

California

by Sarah Mclachlan

Driven through the canyons I was
Dazzled by the mountains and we didn't go very far
Close enough to heaven if you
Climb up on a mansion you too can swing like a star

I tried to get inside I bought a
Ticket with my pride and I was gone right out of my head
I went out for a ride to go
Across a great divide and I ended up at home instead

California
I thought I should see
Now I'm back home, yeah
With twelve little pieces of me

I was just a passenger a
Rider on the tremors that were shaking all our beds at night
A visitor a stranger thought I
Might pass for a regular if I just kept out of the lights

Tore my heart out from my chest
Mixed it up in my mind with the best freshest pieces of my soul
Chose the ones I loved the most
Drove 'em all down to the coast
Threw 'em in a big black hole

California
I thought I should see
Now I'm back home, yeah
With twelve little pieces of me
California
I dreamed I would find
Some kinda sorta pick-me-up
I got twelve little pieces of my mind

Going back to California
So many good things around
Don't wanna leave California
The sun seems to never go down

Some people may treat you ugly
Some treat you beautiful too
That's the way life is all over
So look for the good things for you

California - there is a good place to be
California - that's where I'm feeling so free

Solos

California that's where I'm feeling so free
California there is a good place to be

California - that is a good place for home
California - I'll be back there before long

California

by Ween

A new life is what we need
A new life is out of here
Little moments, don't you know ?
Maybe go to California, where it's warm
Get some work, I can see
You and I breaking waves
In the sunshine

Don't start slipping away
Don't start slipping away

No sad refrains
They belong to yesterday

Don't start slipping away
Don't start slipping away

by M.I.A.

California got her right
You will have to wait
Calling from the Golden Gate

Sentimental sparrows
Keeping me awake
Funny how the morning's late
Funny how the morning's late

Come around with your heavenly smile
Come around and drag me out again
After a while we can sit and watch them all rush by
Come around and drag me out again
Come around and drag me out again

Always wanted to leave
Always felt that I'd get stopped
But I could never see myself
In anybody else's arms
In anybody else's arms

Come around with your heavenly smile
Come around and drag me out again
After a while we can sit and watch them all rush by
Come around and drag me out again
Come around and drag me out again

Always wanted to leave
Always felt that I'd get stopped
But I could never see myself
No I could never see myself
With anybody else

If you want a piece of my life
Get in line, baby get in line
If you wanna kiss then do it fast
Get in line, baby get in line
If you wanna practice, spill the past
Get in line, baby get in line
Get in line, baby get in line

California's angel
It's more than I can stand
Calling down the sunset's pain
Sentimental star unsolved
As soon as we wake
Funny in the morning state
Funny in this morning state

If you want a piece of my life
Get in line, baby get in line
If you wanna kiss then do it fast
Get in line, baby get in line
If you wanna practice, spill the past
Get in line, baby get in line
I will smile and chuckle till the last
Get in line, baby get in line
Get in line, baby get in line
Get in line, baby get in line
Get in line, baby get in line

by Manic street Preachers

Don't you know baby i'm a leading man
I dig down deep when i say i love you
And i can hold my own with the best of them
I guarantee you, you will never see nothing like this again
California, i hope that it wakes you
From all of the darkness
That i couldn't break through
'cause i'm gonna miss you, i'm gonna miss you
I'm gonna miss you, i'm gonna miss you
Don't you know that i did the things i could
I rubbed your back when you were sleeping
But all along baby it was understood
That you were leaving, absolutely
Since the very first day we met
California, i hope that it wakes you
From all of the darkness
That i couldn't break through
'cause i'm gonna miss you, i'm gonna miss you
I'm gonna miss you, i'm gonna miss you
Like i miss the ocean
When i go to sleep
Man, it's gonna break my heart

I'm goin' down south,
'Neath the borderline.
I'm goin' down south,
'Neath the borderline.
Some fat momma
Kissed my mouth one time.

Well, I needed it this morning
Without a shadow of doubt.
My suitcase is packed,
My clothes are hangin' out.

San Francisco's fine,
You sure get lots of sun.
San Francisco is fine.
You sure get lots of sun.
But I'm used to four seasons,
California's got but one.

Well, I got my dark sunglasses,
I got for good luck my black tooth.
I got my dark sunglasses,
And for good luck I got my black tooth.
Don't ask me nothin' about nothin',
I just might tell you the truth.

left a draling down in georgia
lost a girl to tennessee
now i'm goin' out to california
where somebody cares for me

hey there - hey there darlin'
don't break too many hearts
keep 'em at a distance
and you keep 'em all guessing
you got a nice hand
but never show your cards

double bourbon on the rocks on the weekend
four or five on saturday night
you better watch it with the looks you're stealing
them boys can't treat you right

hey there - hey there darlin'
don't break too many hearts
keep 'em at a distance
and you keep 'em all guessing
you got a nice hand
but never show your cards

when i get to california
kiss goodbye this southern heat
the california stars are my girls
for all the night, for all the night

drank away my girl in texas
ended up in new orleans
all the women down there knew better
than to mess around with me

hey there - hey there darlin'
don't break too many hearts
keep 'em at a distance
and you keep 'em all guessing
you got a nice hand
but never show your cards

when i get to california
kiss goodbye this southern heat
the california stars are my girls
for all the night, for all the night

hey there - hey there darlin'
don't break too many hearts
keep 'em at a distance
and you keep 'em all guessing
you got a nice hand
but never show your cards

don't break too many hearts
don't break too many hearts

How you doin' out in California
Now that you've made the grade
Is there a chance you'd think of me
And all the things we made together

How you doin' out in California
Now that you've got it made
You must be glad you made the break
But how I wish you'd stayed

Livin' out in California
Seems to suit you well
But my news is all second hand
So it's hard for me to tell

One day I'll make it out to California
See if it's what it seems
I've been there many times before
But only in my dreams

Oh it could be the money
It could be the sun
Something's keeping you away from me
California look what you've done

It's too old and cold and settled in its ways here.

Oh, but California,

Oh it gets so lonely
When you're walking
And the streets are full of strangers.
All the news of home you read
More about the war
And the bloody changes.
Oh, will you take me as I am?
Will you take me as I am?
Will you?
Will you take me as I am?
Take me as I am.

Okay, this guy walks into a bar
No, I'm just, I'm just fucking with you, I'm kidding
No, there's this, this young bull and this old bull
And they're standing on top of a hill
And I tried to tell you before
That that's why I left California

So they're standing on top of this hill, right?
And they're looking out over a pasture full of cows
Whole fucking pasture
And the young bull turns to the old bull, and he goes, I got this really good idea.
And they old bull's like, Yeah?

And I tried to tell you before
That that's why I left California

Yeah he's like, yeah, yeah, I got this really good idea.
Let's run down that hill and fuck one of those cows.
And the old bull just looks at him, you know he's just looking at him
He's like, Look, I got a better idea."
And the young bull's like, Oh yeah, what's your fucking brilliant idea?
And the old bull goes...

And I tried to tell you before
That that's why I left California

And the old bull goes, Let's walk down that hill and fuck all of those cows, dig?
You know, like he ain't been in town long or something, I dunno

And I tried to tell you before
That that's why I left California

by Sade

I got a cottage with a sea view
I got a regular summer tan
I been working up the courage to call you all year, Ooh

But there are nothing I can say
And there are no good words left anyway
Besides people are cruel and the world still moves without you, Ooh

Welcome to my Californian home
You don't have to call me you can
Leave when you want

There's a
Picture above my bed and there's a
Light in your eyes

I don't know
Well I don't know
Whether you still feel alone

And we were dying from the get go
I was dreaming but you never believe
I was trying to fit myself into spaces between, Ooh

And you were kind and sometimes cruel
You said all the world's love couldn't satisfy you
And nothing could have hurt me as much as the truth, Ooh, darlin

Welcome to my Californian home
You don't have to call me you can
Leave when you want

There's a
Picture above my bed and there's a
Light in your eyes

I don't know
Tell cause I want to find out
Do you still feel alone

Love is illusive when you search for it
And don't I know
Happiness sometimes it just creeps in

Don't I know it
I'm going crazy I've been wonderin
Do you still feel alone?

I need to find
Some kind of peace of mind
I need to find

I got a cottage with a sea view
I got a regular summer tan
I know that I deserve more
But I still want you

Welcome to my Californian home
You don't have to call me you can
Leave when you want

There's a
Picture above my bed and there's a
Light in your eyes

I don't know
But tell me cause I wanna find out
Do you still feel

Welcone to my California (I need to find)
Even though I'm no good for you (Some kind of piece of mind)
There's a part of me still waitin for you (Oh oh oh)

Welcome to my happy endin (I need to find)
Even though it’s fun contending I know (Some kind of piece of mind)
I know you can't look back you can never go back

Welcome to my Californian home
You can never go back
I know

Welcone to my California (I need to find)
Even though I'm no good for you (Some kind of piece of mind)
There's a part of me still waitin for you (Oh oh oh)

I know you can't look back you can never go back
But tell me cause I wanna find out
Do you still feel alone

Do you still feel alone
Alone

by the jonas brothers

If I strum chords, would you sing a song with me
If I leave town would you leave along with me
We can fly away to outer space
We can find a way to leave this place

We don't need a map and you can throw your phone away
We don't wanna hear the things we know they're gonna say
You don't trust yourself but girl trust in me
Don't look in the mirror the past you don't wanna see

What do you say we leave for California
If we drive all night we can make it by the morning
And no one has to know if we decide to go
What do you say we leave for California

If we leave our friends then we can be together
We can leave this town if only for the weather
I could drive and you could sleep
While the radio collides to the sound of our heartbeats

What do you say we leave for California
If we drive all night we can make it by the morning
And no one has to know if we decide to go
What do you say we leave for California

Hynotized by the carbon monoxide
Would turning back be a good idea
Your cigarette after cigarette
Cannot help to calm your fear

But I'm still driving
Just keep sleeping
We'll keep moving
But I'm not leaving no I'm not leaving

What do you say we leave for California
If we drive all night we can make it by the morning
And no one has to know if we decide to go
What do you say we leave for California

Can't change how
The feelings will be shown
Don't blame you
You're nervous on your own
Propose the worst and I'm the first in line
Despite the rest it's not a bad sign

That you mean the world to me
And the city and my soul disagree

Last time 'round fast
I'll see you on the way down
Life's a funny thing and you can't bring yourself to face it if you want to
Now I shake here
For your sake dear
I was raised and I was born here
I couldn't leave California if I tried to

Can't say now
Where I'm gonna go
When I figure it out
You'll be the first to know
Do you understand that it's out of these hands of mine
Despite our plans I've got to draw the line

I'm not falling for anymore of these tricks
I'm so tired of everthing here
The sun is calling me to the west
Everyone's having fun out there

Everything is so outdated here
I wanna move west to were the sun is shining
I want my friends to all be there
Ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh
Ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh

Let's pack up and move to california
She's got lots of friends out there
We'll never get bored cuz we can go boardin'
Let's let the sunshine take us there

I am tired of taking it slow
So tired but I'm not sleepin
I'm wired, about to pick up my board
Cuz we're all headed out for the weekend

Let's pack up and move to california
Hop on board before we get older
Raise you hands and shout for california
Come on come on come on come on

Aéroport, aérogare
mais pour tout l'or m'en aller
c'est le blues, l'coup d'cafard
le check out assuré
vienne la nuit et sonne l'heure
et moi je meurs
entre apathie et pesanteur
où je demeure
changer d'optique,
prendre l'exit
et m'envoyer en Amérique
sex appeal, c'est Sunset
c'est Marlboro qui me sourit
mon amour, mon moi,
je sais qu'il existe
la chaleur de l'abandon
c'est comme une symphonie

c'est sexy le ciel de Californie
sous ma peau j'ai L.A. en overdose
so sexy le spleen d'un road movie
dans l'rétro ma vie qui s'anamorphose

j'ai plus d'I.D., mais bien l'idée
de me payer le freeway
c'est l'osmose, on the road
de l'asphalte sous les pieds
vienne la nuit,
c'est le jet lag qui me décale
L.A.P.D. me donne un blâme
c'est pas le drame
se faire un trip,
s'offrir un streap
sous le soleil en plein midi
six a.m., j'suis offset
j'suis l'ice dans l'eau,
j'suis mélo, dis
mon amour mon Wesson
mon artifice
la chaleur du canon
c'est comme une symphonie

c'est sexy le ciel de Californie
sous ma peau j'ai L.A. en overdose
so sexy le spleen d'un road movie
dans l'rétro ma vie qui s'anamorphose

I was converted to the other side
From the day I'd gotten there
I met a girl who took me on a ride
I was young I had no cares
When I moved to California
California

She played me records I had never heard
While we toked on purple hairs
Who, Zeppelin, Beatles
Kiss, The Rolling Stones
While we played guitars in air

When I moved to California
California California
California love

Venice Beach and P.O.P.
Station 26 was free
Jeff Ho and Horizons west
Dogtown Skates they were the best
Hang Ten, O.P. were the brands
Don't forget the two-tone Vans

I miss the Apple and my schoolyard boys
Nothing ever will compare
But now I skateboard
With my surfer girl
And we really are a pair

When I moved to California
California
California
California love

Despiértame en California
despídeme de las sombras que hubo en mí
Tu alma gemela, la encontrarás, siempre a tu lado

Dejame entrar de puntillas por tí
hazme vivir cada verso que te dí

Hay poco que perder, pero mucho que ganar
nos queda tanto por vivir
hay poco que perder, pero mucho que ganar
nos queda tanto que decir
vamos a hacer borrón y cuenta nueva

Recuérdame, que no vuelva a recordar
y hazme olvidar, si no puedo olvidar
quiero que sepas, que no lloverá
sobre mojado, nunca más

Hay poco que perder,pero mucho que ganar
nos queda tanto por vivir
hay poco que perder, pero mucho que ganar

Don't you know baby I'm a leading man
I dig down deep when I say I love you
Well I can hold my own with the best of them
I guarantee you, you never seen nothin'
Nothin' like this again

California say that you love me
From all the darkness I couldn't break through
Now, I miss the ocean when I go to sleep
Oh man, it's gonna break my heart

Don't you know that I did the things I did
I rubbed your back when you were sleeping
But all along baby it was understood
That you were leaving, absolutely
The very first day we met

California say that you miss me
From all the darkness I couldn't break through

Big rims, slim jims
Creeping up on ya

There's a place to stay in California
Now it's a funky dive, but when the guests arrive
You'll have the time of you life in California

It don't rain in California *southern*
There is always something for the pain in California
Cheap tricks, sweet chicks
Creeping up on ya
And now don't you say I didn't warn you

You don't have to say please, just say thank you

The state bird of California is a dunaughty parter coose??

The average person has one point 7 8 cars
Shame on you

And consumes many gallons of gasoline yearly
Much to much

Think about it
I will, thank you

I'm living it up, I'm living it up, I'm living it up in California

Would you let the sun hit your weed smokin'
Fuckin' take a shower
Lay down wit ya in the bed wit ya wide open
Got me on my back with my thighs wide open
I stay wet, I don't need no lotion
Meet me in the back of the spot love potion
Meet me in the sunshine stay west coastin'
Hit it from the side fly by sex motion
Do a drive by, fly high, fuck boastin'
Crack on mine, we merry eyed boatin'
In the sea fishin'
Beverly Hill ho, Beverly Hill pigeon
Beverly shoppin', Beverly men pickin'
Beverly hotel, Beverly sweet pimpin'
Compton game got Beverly men listen

[Chorus]
I'm just ridin' and decidin' if I want someone to hold
No commitment I'm just gettin' laid, I can get cos
California, sweet California
Got the sunset on where we can hot it
Got me on a... ooh

[Verse 2]
Niggas wanna hit me from the where, the where
Spank me and pull my hair, yeah
Talk to me like you really care
Actin' all queer like you Fred Austaire
You think I'm stupid, don't ya
You think I'm a lay down and let you stick me
With your beat poker
Don't cha, mister Swiss mocha
You can come closer
You can come over
You can have a side on the ??? of my poster
Drunk or sober
May or October, come right over
Rub my shoulders, four leaf clover
No gun holsters, get fucked wake up with a hangover
Twelfth quarter nothing left when the game over
Wake up all alone nights get colder
See you the next day get a cold shoulder

[Chorus]
I'm just ridin' and decidin' if I want someone to hold
No commitment I'm just gettin' laid, I can get cos
California, sweet California
Got the sunset on where we can hot it
Got me on a... ooh

[Verse 3]
Let's get it on we can meet alone
Get it on in the freak song
We can both get it on when the heat's on
Look, we can both do wrong
Spent too long, I grew too strong
I got full blown to guard my home
Got me a loan, bought me a home
Order mine to go, walk me a low-low
In the six-four, sittin' on chrome
Datin' ??? dipped in all gold
Rub with three hoes pick up three mo'
Buy some Indo, roll purple smoke
We all do the most, keep niggas close
Keep heat closer, avoid all vultures
Now to get in like we supposed ta
Sunshine, sunny state, California

[Chorus]
I'm just ridin' and decidin' if I want someone to hold
No commitment I'm just gettin' laid, I can get cos
California, sweet California
Got the sunset on where we can hot it
Got me on a... ooh

California

by Susan Tedeschi

Sitting in a park in Paris France
Reading the news and it sure looks bad
They won't give peace a chance
That was just a dream some of us had
Still a lot of lands to see
But I wouldn't want to stay here
It's too old and cold and settled in its ways here
Oh but California

California I'm coming home
I'm going to see the folks I dig
I'll even kiss a Sunset pig
California I'm coming home

I met a redneck on a Grecian isle
Who did the goat dance very well
He gave me back my smile
But he kept my camera to sell
Oh the rogue the red red rogue
He cooked good omelettes and stews
And I might have stayed on with him there
But my heart cried out for you California

Oh California I'm coming home
Oh make me feel good rock 'n' roll band
I'm your biggest fan
California I'm coming home

Oh it gets so lonely
When you're walking
And the streets are full of strangers
All the news of home you read
Just gives you the blues
Just gives you the blues
So I bought me a ticket
I caught a plane to Spain
Went to a party down a red dirt road
There were lots of pretty people there
Reading Rolling Stone reading Vogue
They said How long can you hang around?
I said a week maybe two
Just until my skin turns brown
Then I'm going home to California

California I'm coming home
Oh will you take me as I am
Strung out on another man
California I'm coming home

Oh it gets so lonely
When you're walking
And the streets are full of strangers
All the news of home you read
More about the war
And the bloody changes
Oh will you take me as I am?
Will you take me as I am?
Will you?

[Bridge]
On a lonely day
I look out on the freeway
I can, fantasize 'bout the car I drive
Don't leave the light on
I can find my way
It's been so long now I have to say...

[Chorus]
I'm goin'ta california
gonna live the life
sipping on tequila night after night
dreaming of the moment when everything looks right
a little bit of love goes a long way tonight

I'm on my way (I'm on my way)
Heading for the sun
that's where I'll stay
I'm never going back home
do you ever fell like
you need a change
hang out where no one knows your name

[Chorus]
I'm goin'ta california
gonna live the life
sipping on tequila night after night
dreaming of the moment when everything looks right
a little bit of love goes a long way tonight

would you like to meet me there?
We'll be dancing on the sand (dancing on the sand)
These days will never win
cause the world goes on and on

On a lonely day
I look out on the freeway
I can, fantasize 'bout the car I drive
Don't leave the light on
I can find my way
It's been so long now I have to say,It's been so long now I have to say...

[Chorus]
I'm goin'ta california
gonna live the life
sipping on tequila night after night
dreaming of the moment when everything looks right
a little bit of love goes a long way tonight

[repeat chorus]

a little bit of love [x3]
goes a long way tonight
oh yeah [x2]
on my way......

I miss the way you sing low
So I can't hear your voice over
The radio in my car
But you know every word they say
You knew just the right things to say of
Distance ripped us farther and farther and farther away
I'll see you soon

If you're coming back this way again
Come back from California
All of us here in Florida
Are starved for your attention
We're starved for your attention
Come back from California
All of us here in Florida
Are starved for your attention
We're starved for your attention
Oohhhh

Maybe I fell too fast
Maybe I pushed you away
Now you're gone and I'm afraid
That you're never coming back this way again

I'll see you soon
If you'll come back here
I'll see you soon
Just say that you want to see me too

Come back from California
All of us here in Florida
Are starved for your attention
We starve for your attention
Come back from California
All of us here in Florida
Are starved for your attention
We're starved for your attention

You know I won't mind if you
Monopolize all of my time
I won't say a thing at all
I won't say a word, no

So come back from California
Come back from California

California

by JOHNNY CASH

Photographs of the best time you had,
windows smugded by the speed.
Leaving home with our bags from Iron Street,
as morning turned into California,
And smoke trailed from the butt of my cigarette.
Our glass house it threw rocks at all those it past.

Waking up to the sound of 5 A.M. to take my turn at the wheel.
Climbed up Shasta, oh how the engine ached
as the sun tortured California,
and old alleys turned deep at the heart of me.
Murals of heros defacing the blank concrete.

Vision tunneled, Mission Street, hunger beat
lodged out as the engine wheezed.
Still moving regardless of stable ground
and this stable ground.

Photographs of the best time you had,
windows smugded by the speed.
Leaving home with our bags from Iron street
as morning turned into California.

California

by Yung Joc

I got a cottage with a sea view
I got a regular summer tan
I’ve been working up the courage to call you all year, ohhh
There is nothing I can say
There are no good words left anyway
Besides people look cool and the world still moves without you, ohhh

Welcome to my Californian home
You don’t have to call me, you can leave when you want
There’s a picture by my bed
There’s a light in your eyes
I don’t know
Well I don’t know
Why you still feel alone

And we were dying from the get go
I was dreaming but you never believed
I was trying to fit myself in the spaces between, ohhh
And you were kind and sometimes cruel
You said all the world’s love couldn’t satisfy you
And nothing could have hurt me as much as the truth
Ohhh, darling

Welcome to my Californian home
You don’t have to call me, you can leave when you want
There’s a picture by my bed
There’s a light in your eyes
I don’t know
Tell me ‘cause I want to find out
Do you still feel alone?

Love is elusive when you search for it
Don’t I know?
Happiness sometimes just creeps in
Don’t I know?
I’m going crazy
I’ve been wondering
Do you still feel alone?

I need to find
Some kind of peace of mind
I need to find

I got a cottage with a sea view
I got a regular summer tan
I know that I deserve more
But I still want you
...

Welcome to my Californian home
You don’t have to call me, you can leave when you want
There’s a picture by my bed
There’s a light in your eyes
I don’t know
Tell me ‘cause I want to find out
Do you still feel?

Welcome to my California (I need to find)
Even though I’m not good for you (Some kind of peace of mind)
There’s a part of me still waiting for you (I need to find)
Welcome to my happy ending (I need to find)
Even though it’s fun pretending (Some kind of peace of mind)
I know
I know you can’t look back, you can never go back

Welcome to my Californian home
(I know, you can never go back again)
Welcome to my Californian home
(I know, you can never go back again)
Welcome to my Californian home
(I know, you can never go back
I know, I need to find, do you still feel?)

Welcome to my Californian home
(I need to find)
Even though I’m no good for you
(Some kind of peace of mind)
Deep inside there’s a piece of me, there’s a piece of me
Still waiting for you to come home

I know you can never look back, you can never look back again
But tell me ‘cause I want to find out
Do you still feel alone?
Oh nooo
Do you still feel alone?
Oh nooo

How're you doin' out in California
Now that you've made the grade?
Is there a chance you'd think of me
And all the things we did together?

How're you doin' out in California
Now that you've got it made?
You must be glad you made the break
But how I wish you'd stayed

Livin' out in California
Seems to suit you well
But my news is all second hand
So it's hard for me to tell

One day I'll make it out to California
See if it's what it seems
I've been there many times before
But only in my dreams

(INSTRUMENTAL)

One day I'll make it out to California
See if it's what it seems
I've been there many times before
But only in my dreams

Oh, it could be the money
It could be the sun
Something's keeping you away from me
California look what you've done
Oh, oh

by Natalia Oreiro

On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
There she stood in the doorway;
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself,
’this could be heaven or this could be hell’
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor,
I thought I heard them say...

Welcome to the hotel california
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the hotel california
Any time of year, you can find it here

Her mind is tiffany-twisted, she got the mercedes bends
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat.
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget

So I called up the captain,
’please bring me my wine’
He said, ’we haven’t had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine’
And still those voices are calling from far away,
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say...

Welcome to the hotel california
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
They livin’ it up at the hotel california
What a nice surprise, bring your alibis

Mirrors on the ceiling,
The pink champagne on ice
And she said ’we are all just prisoners here, of our own device’
And in the master’s chambers,
They gathered for the feast
The stab it with their steely knives,
But they just can’t kill the beast

Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
’relax,’ said the night man,
We are programmed to receive.
You can checkout any time you like,
But you can never leave!

יצאנו לטיול על ה-ROUTE ONE
מימין עצים משמאל הים
האוטו גדול, את הדלק גומע
הקרוז קונטרול תקוע על מאה
כל כך יפה שבא לבכות
דופקים סיבוב פרסה כל כמה דקות

עלינו למצפה להתסתכל על הפסיפיק
איזה יום יפה, אבסולוטלי טוריפיק
אחי, תראה, הנה לוויתן
נרכב לו על הגב עד ליפן
נותן גז לוואן, ת'מנוע מדרבן
אין כמו מכונית אמריקאית, אין.

אה אוווווו ווה...

נכנסנו לאולפן IN THE POCKET
עם קצת מזל אנחנו נדפוק את
כל החרוזים ממש כמו חיים חפר
נקליט את התקליט ונחזור לקו התפר
באולפן כולם מתלהבים מהציוד
וגם כן מהפרח שהביא לנו ה-DUDE
יצאנו לאוורור ביערות ה-REDWOOD
נכנסו קצת עמוק הלכנו לאיבוד
שלוף ת'מצלמה ותן לו בתעוד
תחזיק ת'יד ישר, אתה חסר מיקוד
יוסי תפוס פיקוד ותן לו בעיבוד,
יו, אחי, קלוט את ההדהוד!!!

אה אוווווו ווה...

סיבובים בלי סוף
אחי תקלוט ת'נוף
תעצור ת'מכונית ובוא נרד לחוף
תדליק איזה קטנה שיהיה פה מה לשרוף
קיבלתי את המנצ'יז אני חייב לטרוף
בו'נה, אחי, קלוט, כלב ים האו האו
שאנן, אל תהיה מטומטם

קליפורניה קליפורניה את כזאת שווה
בכיף הייתי עושה לך טובה
קליפורניה קליפורניה את כזאת שווה
בכיף הייתי עושה לך טובה
קליפורניה קליפורניה את יקירתי,
אני חייב לשאול, האם זה אמיתי?

אה אוווווו ווה...

Going out to California
Gonna let the water warm my clothes
I’m alone but I’m not lonely
Gonna trade the weather for the Western coast
No don’t cry
I’ll be back and I’ll
Bring the sun to shine
In your eyes
On your shoulders
Sunset Boulevard will strip for money
Mulholland is a long drag for the lonely hearts
Down along the Imperial Valley
Runs a river of homelessness and cinema stars
Don’t say
The trip’s been done
A hundred thousand times
Cause this one
Is mine
So I will work at what work finds me
And I will take what comfort I can get
I’ll be back when I’m good and ready
California doesn’t seem to think I’m ready yet
It's alright
I’ll be back and I’ll
Bring the sun to shine
In your eyes
On your shoulders

California, California
You're such a wonder that I think I'll stay in bed
Big time rollers, part time models
So much to plunder
That I think I'll sleep instead

I don't know this sea of neon
Thousand surfers, whiffs of freon
And big nights back east with Rhoda
California please

There's a moment
I've been saving
A kind of crucifix around this munchkin land
Up north freezing, little me drooling
That's Entertainment's on at eight
Come on Ginger slam

I don't know this sea of neon
Thousand surfers, whiffs of freon
And my new grandma Bea Arthur
Come on over

Ain't it a shame that at the top
Peanut butter and jam they served you
Ain't it a shame that at the top
Still those soft skin boys can bruise you
Yes I fell for a streaker

I don't know this sea of neon
Thousand surfers, whiffs of freon

Ain't it a shame
That all the world can't enjoy your mad traditions
Ain't it a shame that all the world
Don't got keys to their own ignitions
Life is the longest death in California

California
You're such a wonder that I think I'll stay in bed
So much to plunder that I think I'll sleep instead
You're such a wonder that I think I'll stay in bed
So much to plunder that I think I'll sleep instead
