about

I was being silly one morning and riffing on this song idea in front of the kids. When it came time to pick songs for this project, my wife insisted it should be included. So, it's her fault if you don't like it. If you love it, blame me.

Aches and Pains
By Todd Burge ©2015 Bunj Jam BMI

Aches aches aches and pains
The more time ticks the more aches and pains
If I had the time to think, I’d go insane
Over all my aches and pains

Pain pain, life’s a pain
and how you cope is based on
How it’s framed
Like a fuzzy puppy with oversized eyes
Imitation life behind art’s disguise

Life’s a bitch, then you bitch
And while I bitch, it’s a son of a bitch
Not sure what I’ve got to gain
As I bitch about all my….
Aches aches aches and pains


If I could do it over again
Again I’d do it over again
But I might add just a bit more sin
As it might stop my mind from wanderin’

When I was a younger
Man oh man
I could make a stand
and deliver with little strain
But now I’ve got these

Aches aches aches and pains
The more time ticks the more aches and pains
If I had the time to think, I’d go insane
Over all my aches and pains
