      completely agreed. the song itself I don't quite love, and the music video I mostly dislike, however the feel it has reaches me.

    A song that really resonates in my heart. This describes my life perfectly now and how I have felt for the past 2 years. "Cause everything I need is denied me, and everything I want is taken away from me. But who do I got to blame? Nobody but me."
    This line is the one that resonates most. The cause of my unhappiness was me.
    Still can't listen to this song without crying.
    What a wonderful song!

    Still don't understand how this album was so unloved in the beginning. In 96-97 I was a senior in high school and it seemed like I was the only guy that had and listened to this CD, and people kept coming by my room to get a better listen to the tracks I was listening to from this album because they loved Weezer's blue album.
    For years I was under the impression that Pinkerton was my own secret album Weezer wrote just for me. lol No idea that other people even listened to this album let alone that it would one day become widely known as the best album they ever wrote.

    Lyrics
    When I look in the mirror
    I can't believe what I see
    Tell me, who's that funky dude
    Staring back at me
    Broken, beaten down
    Can't even get around
    Without an old-man cane
    I fall and hit the ground
    Shivering in the cold
    I'm bitter and alone
    Excuse the bitching
    I shouldn't complain
    I should have no feeling
    Cos feeling is pain
    As everything I need
    Is denied me
    And everything I want
    Is taken away from me
    But who do I got to blame?
    Nobody but me
    And I don't wanna be an old man anymore
    It's been a year or two since I was out on the floor
    Shaking booty, making sweet love all the night
    It's time I got back to the good life
    It's time I got back, it's time I got back
    And I don't even know how I got off the track
    I wanna go back, yeah!
    Screw this crap, I've had it!
    I ain't no Mr. Cool
    I'm a pig, I'm a dog
    So excuse me if I drool
    I ain't gonna hurt nobody
    Ain't gonna cause a scene
    Just need to admit
    That I want sugar in my tea
    Hear me (hear me) I want sugar in my tea!
    I don't wanna be an old man anymore
    It's been a year or two since I was out on the floor
    Shaking booty, making sweet love all the night
    It's time I got back to the good life
    It's time I got back, it's time I got back
    And I don't even know how I got off the track
    I wanna go back, yeah!
    I wanna go back, I wanna go back
    And I don't even know how I got off the track
    It's time I got back, it's time I got back
    And I don't even know how I got off the track
    I wanna go back, yeah!
    And I don't wanna be an old man anymore
    It's been a year or two since I was out on the floor
    Shaking booty, making sweet love all the night
    It's time I got back to the good life
    It's time I got back, it's time I got back
    And I don't even know how I got off the track

Seemed oddly familiar for some weird reason. Then that line hits. I actually, unironically broke down in tears. I realized that it was Funke's old outro music. I think for 3 days straight it was nonstop playing and singing this song. Love it, miss the old days, but I look towards more hopeful ones ahead.

    It's been a year or two since I was out on the floor
    Shaking booty, making sweet love all the night
    It's time I got back to the good life
    It's time I got back, it's time I got back
    And I don't even know how I got off the track
    I wanna go back, yeah!
    I wanna go back, I wanna go back
    And I don't even know how I got off the track
    It's time I got back, it's time I got back
    And I don't even know how I got off the track
    I wanna go back, yeah!
    And I don't wanna be an old man anymore
    It's been a year or two since I was out on the floor
    Shaking booty, making sweet love all the night
    It's time I got back to the good life
    It's time I got back, it's time I got back
    And I don't even know how I got off the track
    It's time I got back, it's time I got back
    And I don't even know how I got off the track
    I wanna go back (I wanna go back)
