    (Waters)

    Cry, Baby, cry
    Grow, Baby, grow
    Stand on your own
    Holidays and happy days at home
    Seaside, bike ride, fun land, hot sand, childhood floating by
    Wonder why I feel so shy when you are passing by
    The years of love and wine
    Pass by the magic eye
    Good time, lifetime
    Good line, lifeline
    Pass by the magic eye

    "As Tears Go By"-Rolling Stones, fucking killer song about being grown up and watching kids play as you used to. Oh man oh man.


    "It is the evening of the day
    I sit and watch the children play
    Smiling faces I can see
    But not for me
    I sit and watch
    As tears go by

    My riches cant buy everything
    I want to hear the children sing
    All I hear is the sound
    Of rain falling on the ground
    I sit and watch
    As tears go by

    It is the evening of the day
    I sit and watch the children play
    Doin things I used to do
    They think are new
    I sit and watch
    As tears go by"

    'Nightswimming' by REM, just sublime, and nice loss of innocence feel to it.

    Also, maybe this is just for me but 'Dosed' by RHCP.

    Well, you could do an entire set of Who songs on the subject....

    * All of 'Quadrophenia,' plus...
    * My Generation
    * The Kids Are Alright
    * Substitute
    * I'm a Boy
    * Happy Jack
    * Pictures of Lily
    * Squeeze Box

    ...and those are just the ones of the top of my head

    some more include...

    Most songs by Treble Charger, Jimmy Eat World, or Franz Ferdinand.

    Also, someone mentioned Peter Gabriel's "Growing Up." --What a great song!
    I love my female wife...
    we sit around and wonder exactly why our marriage should feel threatened by gay marriage
