about

I wrote this one in a couple of minutes sitting in my girlfriend's apartment after she'd gone to sleep. I got to play this final recorded version for her before we broke up. Then she got knocked up by one of my friends. So it goes...

lyrics

Don't want anymore games, don't want anymore rules
That kind of thing is lame, it's elementary school
I ain't the head of the class, or the leader of a violent gang
I'm neither first nor last, neither going nor already came

A hustle here and a hustle there, pretty soon you'll be catching up
If you must dream then you must dare, or it's nightmares and you're throwing up
And your teeth crack
And your smile fades
And your hair falls
And you gain weight
And your soul cracks
And your light fades
And your friends call
Less often these days

I don't want anymore lies, and excuses always eat me up
Someday it'll be flies but for now I've got a full cup
Yes, today I've got a full cup but tomorrow it could all spill
That's pretty much the rub, so why you wanna stand still
And let your teeth crack
And your smile fade
And your hair fall
And gain weight
And let your soul crack
As your light fades
You hope your friends call
Before it's too late...
