	CD: Yet a Demo
	Story Behind the Song Itīs quite funny, really. I recorded all the rhythms and the fake drum sound using shakers, a plastik cannister for a bass drum, tin box cover played on with brushes for a hi hat and so forth. I actually dig that sound, I might eventually record a whole jazz cd using it. Lyrics Coming of age: I used to dream about the good times But now I fear good times are near With joined accounts and strange panting sounds From the couple that moved in right next to here When I was young I felt mighty hot I zoomed in on the girls and I picked them up Or that what I thought until you said `What if the girl hit on you insteadī I had my coming of age with you and thereīs no telling what I would do if you hadnīt come to change my views and give me all the missing cues I had my coming of age with you And surely Iīd be left sad and blue Iīm what I am because of you So suddenly my days of youth are gone Somehow it never came to my mind That dreams wonīt come true when you donīt want them to You said: `pipe dream like you do But donīt expect fate to send a limo for youī `You know this is just, why this place is dying You all let your tails droop and you never smileī I guess you didnīt know before I mentioned that But now the least you can do is try to go in style I had my coming of age with you and thereīs no telling what I would do if you hadnīt come to change my views and show my how to pay my dues I had my coming of age with you And surely Iīd be left all puffed up and blue Iīm what I am because of you And yet Iīd rather be a boy some more Living in a candy store
