Before: Heartbreaker
Good evening, ah, I understand that ah, in Japan, not many people speak English. Anyway, everyday it's, it's getting better, but ah, we'd like to say that so far we've had an incredible time, a wonderful time, and ah, this ah. we haven't even played a concert, and we've all really been having a ball. So ah, while I get the mic stand together. I'm gonna do me best to make this the best time we've ever had because it seems a difference to America. America doesn't seem so good any more unfortunately, maybe it'll get better.And while I'm talking like this, Jimmy's changing a guitar string. Right.

Honorable lemon and honey, and tea. This isa, this is another track off the fourth, I sound as if I'm lisping, I'm not, off the fourth album, and this is also ah, about, once again, the United States, which has got nothing to do with this. Thank you.A long time ago, in 1967, there was a place called San Fransisco, and ah San Fransisco was responsible for many good things, including everybody's hair, and ah, right on man. I don't know what happened after 1967, maybe it was the truck drivers. I don't know, but anyway, it's still there, and it's in California. This is ah, a track called Going to California.
