[Fish boy]

OK, with the exception of 8 and 16 I am in the clear of this old thing.

[gcarter]

I guess I've been grown up for about 40 years now.
I didn't remember what I wasn't missing. :moped:

[Fish boy]

I've heard mixed reviews on being a grown up. I think I will wait until they get the bugs out before giving it a shot.

[gcarter]

Fish, I can see it now;

"Jody Staples R.I.P.
At 82 the worlds oldest teenager" :) :yes:

I'm An Adult Now

Well, I don't hate my parents
I don't get drunk just to spite them
I've got my own reasons to drink now
Think I'll call my dad up and invite him
I can sleep in 'til noon anytime I want
Though there's not many days that I do
Gotta get up and take on that world
When you're an adult it's no cliche, it's the truth
'Cause I'm an adult now
I'm an adult now
I've got the problems of an adult
On my head and on my shoulders
I'm an adult now

I can't even look at young girls anymore
People will think I'm some kind of pervert
Adult sex is either boring or dirty
Young people they can get away with murder
I don't write songs about girls anymore
I have to write songs about women
No more boy meets girl boy loses girl
More like man tries to figure out what the hell went wrong

'Cause I'm an adult now
I'm an adult now
I've got the problems of an adult
On my head and on my shoulders
I'm an adult now

I can't take any more illicit drugs
I can't afford any artificial joy
I'd sure look like a fool lying dead in a ditch somewhere
With a mind full of chemicals like some cheese-eating high school boy

'Cause I'm an adult now
I'm an adult now
I've got the problems of an adult
On my head and on my shoulders
I'm an adult now

Sometimes my head hurts and sometimes my stomach hurts
And I guess that it won't be long
'Til I'm sitting in a room with a bunch of people whose necks and backs are aching
Whose sight and hearing's failing who just can't seem to get it up
Speaking of hearing, I can't take too much loud music
I mean I like to play it, but I sure don't like the racket
Noise, but I can't hear anything
Just guitars screaming, screaming, screaming
Some guy screaming in a leather jacket
Wooah!

'Cause I'm an adult now
I'm an adult now
I've got the problems of an adult
On my head and on my shoulders
I'm an adult now

[TBroccoli]

I could probably sleep late, if I didn't have to get up and pee 3 to 5 times a night.

K, that is a great song from the Canadian indie/alt band TPoH The Pursuit of Happiness. They had some college/university, large club success in the late 80's...

TPoH (http://www.canoe.ca/JamMusicPopEncycloPagesP/pursuit_of_happiness.html)
A number of bands from Canada in the late eighties, early nineties made it into Seattle. TPOH and the Tragically Hip are amongst my favorites. 1994/or 5 in Vancouver for Canada Day, attended concert Another Road Side Attraction at UBC. Became hooked on bands from Canada. That and my Dad was senior V.P. of Corporate Finance for a large Canadian brokerage firm. :) Trying to remember another band's name, "she aint pretty just looks that way"???? I Want the CD. From that era, bands like Nirvana and the other grunge stuff was good but became a little glam, Canadian bands seemed to have more soul than American groups.

K, you are thinking of the Northern Pikes ....... http://www.thepikes.com/

Mid October I'm going to see the Hip play at tune up show before their next North American tour, 1000 seat club, backstage.
Next year they are bringing back Another Roadside Attraction, to tour their greatest hits album, due out next summer.
Check out another great Canadian band "Big Sugar" I think you'd like them..

PS: which firm did your Dad work for ?

[Koenig]

Can-of-Worms also known as Canarim! :cool:

Big Sugar sounds good! I go up to Vancouver about 4 to 5 times a month, so I'll do some CD shopping. Seldom find other than Bare Naked Ladies in the states.

[boxy]

Look for Big Sugar's last album, "Hit and Run"... it's a double album, Hit is the greatest hit cd, Run is a live performance cd, these guys subscribed to the Spinal Tap theory of Amps, turn everything to 11 :D
Also look for a band called the Headstones.

[Surfer]

As to 37, I surf way better than smack balls, I guess I'm in the clear for awhile.
