So much for the city
Tell me that you'll dance to the end
Just tell me that you'll dance to the end 
Hey hey you're The Monkeys
And people said you monkeyed around
But nobody's listening now 

Just don't go back to Big Sur
Hanging around
Lettin' your old man down
Just don't go back to Big Sur
Baby, baby please don't go
Oh, baby, baby please don't go 

So much for the streetlights
They're never gonna guide you home
No they're never gonna guide you home 

Down at the steamboat show
Yeah, all the kids started spittin'
I guess I didn't live up to the billing 

Just don't go back to Big Sur
Hanging around
Lettin' your old man down
Just don't go back to Big Sur
Baby, baby please don't go
Oh, baby, baby please don't go 

Just don't go back to Big Sur
Hanging around
Lettin' your old man down
Just don't go back to Big Sur
Oh, baby, baby please don't go
Oh, baby, baby please don't go

The Thrills

The Thrills are an Irish rock band, formed in 2001 in Dublin, Ireland. The band was founded by lead vocalist Conor Deasy and guitarist Daniel Ryan, guitarist and bass player Padraic McMahon, pianist Kevin Horan and drummer Ben Carrigan. Their big break came with their debut album, So Much for the City, which became an Irish number one and charted at number 3 in the UK. The band's sound has been described as "inspired by classic American pop of the late '60s and early '70s" by MTV.com and "an ocean-soaked, harmony-heavy homage to California's dreamy dreams, shaking ground, and unrelenting sunshine" by Pitchfork Media. more »
