santa monica
"This track apeared as a bonus track on the 'to the moon and back' single. when we released 'ttmab' we felt the song had more potential than we had at first thaught. Then when we went to America, the record company fell in love with the track. It was really about santa monica, about feeling so out of place in a new city but seeking comfort behind the mask of a telephone. We were just getting into the internet and we found and we found it interesting as your mind. You can be anything you want to be. So sitting in a cafe in Santa Monica pone day, this strange thaught came into being..." - Darren Hayes 
 
santa monica- midi file, version 1 
santa monica- midi file, version 2 

In santa monica, In the winter time, 
The lazy streets so undemanding 
I walk into the crowd 
In santa monica, you get your cofee from 
The coolest places on the promonade 
Where people dress just so 
Beauty so unavoidable, everywhere you turn 
It's there 
I sit and wonder what am I doing here? 

But on the telephone line I am anyone 
I am anything  I want to be 
I could be a super model or 
Norman mailer 
And you wouldnt know the difference 
Or would you? 

In santa Monica, all the people got modern names 
Like Jake or Mandy 
And modrn bodies too 
In santa Monica, on the boulevard, 
You'll have to dodge those in-line skaters 
Or they'll knock you down 
I never felt so lonely 
Never felt so out of place 
I never wanted something more than this 

But on the telephone line I am anyone 
I am anything  I want to be 
I could be a super model or 
Norman mailer 
And you wouldnt know the difference 
On the telephone line, I am any height 
I am any age I want to be 
I could be a caped crusader, or space invader 
And you wouldn't know the difference 
Or would you? 

*thankyou for calling disneyland...* 
*thankyou for calling disneyland...* 
*thankyou for calling disneyland...* 

But on the telephone line I am anyone 
I am anything  I want to be 
I could be a super model or 
Norman mailer 
And you wouldnt know the difference 
On the telephone line, I am any height 
I am any age I want to be 
I could be a caped crusader, or space invader 
And you wouldn't know the difference 
Or would you?
