Just got lyrics from this tattooed today in Steves handwriting. I did ask Jordan to write it out for me but I was cheeky and asked Steve as well because I didn't like Jordans haha.
Wish i was ten years older than i am so i could have been old enough to appreciate blink-182 and New Found Glory albums when the were first released. I'm 16 now
Almost forgot about the song before one of my friend posted this lyrics as his facebook status....but still I love this song and it reminds me of my old days when I was a punk lol :( =D
It's funny how I find myself reverting back to me before high school now that I've been out for a few years. Music taste wise. Pop punk was the shit. I miss these days.
Yeah I loved this song, and it's still good. It's just so like upfront. But, I dunno...kinda like the Ataris, NFG just wasn't as catchy anymore to me afterwhile. Well the newer stuff coming out.
I still think "Nothing Gold Can Stay" is fantastic, but....
Check out Dashboard Confessional's cover of this song, they covered two of NFG's songs and NFG covered two of DC's and put them on an ep called Swiss Army Bromance.
@DotKae That just smacks of pure hyperbolic nonsense. This generic band's music is effectively calculated to appeal to low-taste, musically uneducated listeners, who find it easily digestible and satisfying. Although the arts are by nature subjective, any musicologist worth his or her salt can clearly discern between that which is of high-quality and that which is not.
@ChrisB659 Oh, nothing; just some offhand commentary on how this band gargles goat balls and happens to be worse than Hitler clubbing a baby seal...no matter.
@colico14 Yet you still haven't written shit, have you? The problem with most critics, not much unlike you, is that they're dispensable. They criticize other people's work, which yes I do realize is their job, yet most of them have no talent what so ever.
@ChrisB659 I don't feel any particular desire to prove myself to anyone, however that doesn't negate the fact that most of your assertion is demonstrably false and moreover, utterly sophomoric. You know little about me. I hope you wise up.
i think i was about 11 when i got this album, on recommendation from the guy in HMV when i bought enema of the state. i haven't heard this song for 10 years man.
i guess i would be called a new fan of them. Sticks and stones came out when i was in 6th grade, but i still prefer this older shit to the newer! i was born in the wrong decade :(
when i was young i used to skate while listening to this album a lot, it was great. i didn't really understand what the lyrics meant at the time but they've always stuck with me. now that i've experienced the, "theme" i guess you can say of their songs, everything clicks now and makes 100% sense.
great band, i prefer the old stuff over the new stuff though
fuck i love NFG.. i think angels and airwaves and new found are the only 2 bands that can make you so happy and so sad at the same time... so many good tracks..
THE LAST LINE IS CUT OFF BUT!!! : (
awesome post can you please put up "situations" off their best of? no one else has they are all covers etc
I find it funny how some songs everyone has all these memories for, and others it's just 'OMG I love this song!'. This holds memories for me too though...ah Middle School.
lol i love how many comments i see like that... because i remember going into grade 10 from middle school and like i listened to this so much :) ahhhh good times
Whothefxklsaudrey.....while it is possible that this was named after the movie (being that the movie was a hit when the band members were kids) the phrase better off dead is very common...so it's possible that they are just using it as a figure of speech rather than a movie reference.

Man... I know that was two weeks ago, but I gotta say...
And I'm not trying to be disrespectful...
But if you're taking music that seriously, you should just take a step back and chill.
Sure, we like it cause it's easy to digest. It's fun. It's catchy. It's good.
I'm sure plenty of us (myself included) like plenty of unique and "hard to digest" music.
