Living At The Canterbury/Party Pose - The Go-Go's

Okay living in the city

Whores outside a posing

Traffic noise a lullaby

Skyscrapers better than the blue skies

We can do what we want

We can say what we please

We can be who we want

Being poor’s okay by me

Proud I don’t have no T. V

Living at the Canterbury

(My friends think I’m a fool)

Living at the Canterbury

I guess it’s pretty cool

Living at the Canterbury

Fighting off the roaches

Like being in a dormitory

Till rental due approaches

Spent it all on booze

I’m no fool with credit cards

It’s better not to think

Sometimes little I like to think

See me pose, having so much fun

Champagne glass in my hand

My put on smile on my painted face

I show no trace of boredom

See me laugh at your jokes

Your gossiping lips

You look so divine, so divine

In your Fiorucci dress

Your party is finesse

Charming, darling

Party pose, let’s pretend

Jet set, Rive Gauche

Party pose, quite dull

Moet Chandon, Andy Warhol

See me fit the stylish crowd

Hear the stories, the worldly wise

Exaggerate: we’ve been around

We’ve seen it all, we’re so profound

See my friends walk in the door

Eat caviar, drink, ash the floor

Party crash patrol has come

Party pose has just begun

Party pose, let’s pretend

Jet set, Rive Gauche

Party pose, quite dull

Moet Chandon, Andy Warhol

See me pose, having so much fun

Champagne glass in my hand

My put on smile on my painted face

I show no trace of boredom

See me laugh at your jokes

Your gossiping lips

You look so divine

In your Fiorucci dress

Your party is finesse

Charming, darling
