nurturing my inner punk



We're going to the Lagwagon show tonight. I've wanted to see them for a long time so I'm pretty stoked! I know most people prefer their earlier stuff, but my personal favorite is Blaze. I hope I never get so old that I stop enjoying this type of music. Ha...that brings their song Falling Apart to mind:

Hello, welcome to the show
Thought we broke up years ago
What's up, I just shit my pants
Gambled and I lost
Good times, I just blew out my knee
I've fallen and I can't get up
Oh shit, I think I broke my back
Where's the wheelchair?
I'm old school, I'm played out
Osteoporosis, glaucoma and neurosis
The vultures circling above our balding heads
Second verse, the same as the first
I forgot the words again
Railer, lost my inhaler
Who's got a smoke for the Caper?
Hold on let me catch my breath
All right, I feel better now
Take it to the bridge
I'll never be Ozzy
On stage when I'm fifty
I'm gonna look like Elvis
By the time I'm forty
We're already bogus
We're already fading
We'll never be The Rolling Stones
I'm staying home
Dementia and senility
My failing muscles atrophy
I've lost all ability
Falling apart
Blue hair, brown teeth
Failing livers, defeat
Maybe we will try to pull it off
For another year

I can't believe you went to see them! That is sooo cool. We'll never be too old to rock out! Never!
