  • We all know the chosen toys
    Of catty girls and pretty boys
    Make up that face
    Jump in the race
    Life's a kick in this town
    Life's a kick in this town

    [Chorus]
    This town is our town
    It is so glamorous
    Bet you'd live here if you could
    And be one of us

    Change the lines that were said before
    We're all dreamers - we're all whores
    Discarded stars
    Like worn out cars
    Litter the streets of this town
    Litter the streets of this town

    [Chorus] Writer/s: DON BOLLES, JANE WIEDLIN

  • Moosehead from ScEveryone imagines this song is about the place they are from. Get dressed up, get messed up. Their best song according to me.
