No Surprise - Lyrics - J Church
The J Church is a Muni Metro light rail line in San Francisco, California, mainly serving the Noe Valley and Balboa Park neighborhoods, connecting them to downtown. It began as one of San Francisco's streetcar lines in 1917, and was partially converted to modern light-rail operation in 1981, as part of the creation of the Muni Metro system in the late 1970s. While many streetcar lines were converted to bus lines after World War II, the J Church remained a streetcar line due to the private right-of-way it uses to avoid the steepest grades on Church Street, between 18th Street and 22nd Street. Buses cannot negotiate the grades, and the right-of-way is too narrow to accommodate anything wider than the streetcar tracks.

I can't sleep,
A tidal wave of stress is overwhelming me,
When I finally clear my head,
It's only when I feel the world is dead,
And back at school,
I never was tough and I never was cool,
I said "A tough girl is what I need in my life",
You laughed and said: "It's no surprise"
It's no surprise,
Surprise, surprise, surprise,
It's no surprise
And back at home,
Mom and Dad were drunk or fighting, I was all alone,
I had to get away,
So I watched girl's basketball practice every single day,
Yeah it's still cool,
It's been a long time since I thought about my school,
Not like you were always on my mind,
But if you were it's no surprise
It's no surprise,
Surprise, surprise, surprise,
It's no surprise
My girlfriend,
I'm only 17 and dating a lesbian,
At times it seems so strange to me,
To know that she'll see things I'll never see,
Yeah, it's okay,
It's been a long time since I thought about those days,
I missed our class reunion last night,
If you did too it's no surprise,
It's no surprise,
Surprise, surprise, surprise,
It's no surprise
