Happy Birthday -

As someone older, but not wiser – 40 is the new 10, so enjoy before your become a teenager – and to celebrate, why not sing-a-long to My Chemical Romance -

They’re gonna clean up your looks
With all the lies in the books
To make a citizen out of you
Because they sleep with a gun
And keep an eye on your son
So they can watch all the things you do

Because the drugs never work
They’re gonna give you a smirk
Cause they got methods
Of keeping you clean
They’re gonna rip off your heads
Your aspirations to shreds
Another cog in the murder machine

They said all teenagers scare the living shit out of me
They could care less as long as someone’ll bleed
So darken your clothes
Or strike a violent pose
Maybe they’ll leave you alone
But not me

The boys and girls in the clique
The awful names that they stick
You’re never gonna fit in much kid
But if you’re troubled and hurt
What you got under your shirt
Will make them pay for the things that they did

They said all teenagers scare the living shit out of me
They could care less as long as someone’ll bleed
So darken your clothes
Or strike a violent pose
Maybe they’ll leave you alone
But not me

Whoa yeah!

They said now teenagers scare the living shit out of me
They could care less as long as someone’ll bleed
So darken your clothes
Or strike a violent pose
Maybe they’ll leave you alone
But not me

All together now,
Teenagers scare the living shit out of me
They could care less as long as someone’ll bleed
So darken your clothes
Or strike a violent pose
Maybe they’ll leave you alone

But not me

Teenagers scare the living shit out of me
They could care less as long as someone’ll bleed
So darken your clothes
Or strike a violent pose
Maybe they’ll leave you alone
But not me

Best Wishes

Ali

I don’t have a lawn any more. There’s a lawn for the ground floor flat and it’s a bunch of German students who live there so I suppose I could yell at them out of the window…

It’s not like you’re ordering kids off your lawn yet, are you?

Well, are you?

Happy birthday. You’re still older than me.

Happy Birthday John. And just think; by the time you hit forty, the rest of us will be staring myopically at 50, incontinence pants and failing… you know… thingy… Damn, it’s gone. Now where did I put my spectacles?

Of course you don’t fret about getting old: you’re still sickeningly young.

Happy Birthday!

You can call yourself decrepit AFTER you’re 40. (Just look at Stuart, cruising nicely into that middle-aged brandy-swilling novelist phase of his career.)

Until then, get off my lawn!

We don’t here from you for months and you get our hopes all up of your demise, and then you just come back to taunt us with your “birthday.”

That’s just mean, man, mean…

And Happy Birthday
