Southsea is a seaside resort and geographic area, located in Portsmouth at the southern end of Portsea Island, Hampshire, England. Southsea is located to the south of Portsmouth city centre and to the east of Old Portsmouth. It originally developed as Victorian seaside resort in the 19th century and grew into a dense residential suburb and large distinct commercial and entertainment area, separate from Portsmouth city centre itself. The name of the area originates from Southsea Castle; a fort, located on the seafront and constructed in 1544 to help defend the Solent and approaches to Portsmouth Harbour.
The areas surrounding Albert Road, Palmerston Road and Osborne road comprise numerous bars, restaurants and independent shops. Palmerston Road is the main High Street of Southsea and contains two national department stores, as well as the local library. Albert Road is a distinct street containing shopping and cultural venues, which includes the Kings Theatre, a regional theatre built in 1907.

Southsea (Welsh: Glanrafon) is a small formerly industrial village on the Gwenfro river in Broughton community, the county borough of Wrexham, Wales.
The village came into being at the site of the Broughton Hall Brickworks and Plas Power Colliery. Its Welsh language placename (meaning "the bank of the river", glan yr afon) derives from that of a farm. Its exotic-sounding English name, however, comes from the South Sea Inn which used to stand over the road from the brickworks, and in a room of which the brickworks pay was distributed.
The Wrexham historian Alfred Neobard Palmer noted that the name Southsea first appeared on the rate books as early as 1786, though also commenting that this was "an absurd name which should never have been adopted, especially as there was an appropriate name ready to hand".
Southsea's church, All Saints, was formerly its church hall. The previous church, built in 1921 after the original building became unsafe due to mining subsidence, itself became unsafe and was demolished in 1984.
His shadows the blanket that couldn't keep you warm if it tried
So would you like to take a ride
On the last free standing thought in my mind
And I hope it won't get old
I highly recommend you bring an end to what your feeling inside
You don't scare me
I'm wide eyed mouth dried in a nuclear sunrise
Stay here and burn with me under the sun
Lay me here underneath the California sun
Theres a sea of children playing in the streets with no friends
So heres to the faithless, get off you ass and start a revolution
You don't scare me
I'm wide eyed mouth died in a nuclear sunrise
Stay here and burn with me under the sun
Lay me here underneath the California sun
I will die here (the sun)
And without fear (the sun)
I hold everything (the sun)
Laying here under the sun (under the sun)
I'm wide eyed mouth dried in a nuclear sunrise
Stay here and burn with me under the sun
Theres a sea of children playing in the streets with no friends
So get off you ass and start a revolution
