lyrics
More hair in my sink than on my head
It's never what I think when she says "Time for bed"
One of these days I'm gonna wake up dead
I've been forty too long
Blink my eyes and the years are gone
Mama said what doesn't kill me will make me strong
I've been forty too long
Can't drink too much and I can't get high
Bills are piling up, I'm barely getting by
My daughter brought home yet another guy
I've been forty too long
Blink my eyes and the years are gone
Mama said what doesn't kill me will make me strong
I've been forty too long
I try to run but I can only walk
Just a couple of beers and I can barely talk
I can get lost just walkin' round the block
I've been forty too long
Blink my eyes and the years are gone
Mama said what doesn't kill me will make me strong
I've been forty too long
But I know I've gotta carry on
Realize time's been my enemy all along
I've been forty too long
I've been forty too long
Blink my eyes and the years are gone
Mama said what doesn't kill me will make me strong
I've been forty too long
But I know I've gotta carry on
Realize time's been my enemy all along
I've been forty too long
Maybe time is right and I've been wrong
Realize I've been my own worst enemy all along
I've been forty too long

The latest from the young Toronto pop-punkers: perpetually charged-up, but remaining wry and thoughtful. Hooks for days, pep in your step. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 1, 2016
Combining crooned murder ballads with raw, angsty hard rock hooks, Melbourne's The Ugly Kings are a wrecking crew well worth watching. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 15, 2021
