Welcome To The City - Lyrics - Quarterflash

Quarterflash is an American rock group formed in 1980 in Portland, Oregon. The band was originally made up of the only two current members, Rindy Ross , her husband Marv Ross , along with Jack Charles , Rick DiGiallonardo , Rich Gooch , and Brian David Willis . Having a lead singer who also played the saxophone made Quarterflash notable. In a 1982 interview, Rindy Ross said that she viewed the saxophone as an extension of her voice, enabling her to express things she could not express with her voice alone.

Two dollar tips and the lipstick cigarettes Get yourself a job with your fingertips Too many tickets for the backseat matinee Two hours later and you're looking for another face Don't ask for love Don't ask for pity Don't ask for me Welcome to the city Four hundred dollars bus a room in the city With a whole lot of people and a hole in the ceiling Freeze in the winter, die in the summer Seventeen kids next door without a mother Hey, if you see me coming up the stairs Please don't confuse me with someone who cares Welcome to the city...I'm glad you made it, baby I'm really... You got some letter, it's a recommendation Your best friend's ex sent a copy to the station And he knows some agent through a distant realtion An inside connection with a map and directions Ah, too bad you came Too bad you waited Too bad for you You're over-educated Welcome to the city...I'm glad you made it, baby I'm really glad Don't ask for love Don't ask for pity Don't ask for me Welcome to the city
