Act Your Age Lyrics
ah
No-one adores you.
No-one rewards you.
Nobody hears what you say.
Those old faded pictures
of you and your sisters
on the first day of school.
I'll always play with you.
Nobody loves you
more than they aught to.
Nobody cares what you think.
Still hold those pictures
of you and your sisters.
I'll always play the fool.
I'll always play with you.
So an angel has your name.
What a perfect name it is,
and though it's not the same
the heartache is in all that lives.
Mother adores you.
Mother rewards you.
Kissing you on the cheek.
Those old faded pictures
of you and your sisters
on the first day of school.
I'll always play with you.
So an angel has your name.
What a perfect name it is,
and though it's not the same
the heartache is in all that lives.
No-one rewards you.
Nobody hears what you say.
Those old faded pictures
of you and your sisters
on the first day of school.
I'll always play with you.
more than they aught to.
Nobody cares what you think.
Still hold those pictures
of you and your sisters.
I'll always play the fool.
I'll always play with you.
What a perfect name it is,
and though it's not the same
the heartache is in all that lives.
Mother rewards you.
Kissing you on the cheek.
of you and your sisters
on the first day of school.
I'll always play with you.
What a perfect name it is,
and though it's not the same
the heartache is in all that lives.

I just couldn't figure out what this song was about so eventually I decided to email Jason Slater. Several months after emailing him I got back an email
Hi Harrison,sorry it took me so long to get back to you. Act Your Age is about a girl and her sister I became friends with in 4th grade. We all remained friends until high school when one of the sisters died in a car accident. So I wrote the song about that. Bong hits,like all of the Brougham songs is about Palo Alto,the city we grew up in. It's basically a lament about all the .com companies coming in and ruining our city while everyone just stood by and did nothing about it and then bitched and moaned when they got priced out of living in their own city. It's a really loose concept in that song,but it's there. Oh yeah, it's also about smoking weed,but so is every other Brougham song. Every song on that record are about the same 2 things,just in different situations. The life of two disenfranchised stoners is basically what the records about. I hope that fills in the gaps for you. Take care J
