Shameless Lyrics
Well theres nothing more to add before I leave.
This thing of ours is dead but don't you grieve.
Is it me or are they younger every night?
Just because they can it doesn't make it alright.
I'm hanging by my teeth, waiting on quick relief.
Well the kids don't sleep for days, I could die in a hundred-odd ways.
Chorus
Well I'm so sick of hearin how your love for this has died, don't tell me you could do it if you tried.
Well it's a shame or a sham, he's half as old as I am, don't tell me he could look good if he tried.
Well it terrifies the life from outta me.
Well it's really such a lazy way to be.
Hiding in the bedroom, climbing up the walls.
You gotta kick it outta me gently, till it begs and pleads and crawls.
Chorus
Well I'm so sick of hearin how your love for this has died, don't tell me you could do it if you tried.
Well it's a shame or a sham, he's half as old as I am, don't tell me he could look good if he tried.
Repeat Chorus
Won't you make sure my mother gets half my weight in gold, tell her I just did what I was told.
Grab your expensive coat and bury it inside, don't tell me you could do it if you tried.
Well it's a shame or a sham, he's half as old as I am, don't tell me he could look good if he tried.
Well it's a shame or a sham, he's half as old as I am, don't tell me he could look good if he tried.

This is basically Jon looking around and seeing all the other bands being half his age and thinking how ridiculous it is. He's also reminding himself how much he loves what he does. On a US tour last year (?) it became too much and he jumped on a plane and went on holiday with his girlfriend, Heather (aka Chelsea Dagger), who is now his wife. He's yelling at himself for ever complaining about his life. "I'm so sick of hearing how your love for this has died."
Another stab at the scene today. All youngsters, out all the time, getting on with the current 'in-thing', whatever that is........it's fun for a while, but you'd rather be considered seriously, for the long haul. The music business corrupts, mate.
well i'm dumb. i thought it was about a cougar.
