Adam’s Song (Live)​​blink-182

Released: November 7, 2000

Songwriter: Mark Hoppus Tom DeLonge

Producer: Jerry Finn

[Verse 1: Mark Hoppus]
I never thought I'd die alone
I laughed the loudest, who'd have known?
I trace the cord back to the wall
No wonder, it was never plugged in at all
I took my time, I hurried up
The choice was mine, I didn't think enough
I'm too depressed to go on
But you'll be sorry when I'm gone

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
I never conquered, rarely came
16 just held such better days
Days when I still felt alive
We couldn't wait to get outside
The world was wide, too late to try
The tour was over, we'd survived
I couldn't wait 'til I got home
To pass the time in my room alone

[Verse 2: Mark Hoppus]
I never thought I'd die alone
Another six months, I'll be unknown
Give all my things to all my friends
You'll never step foot in my room again
You'll close it off, you'll board it up
Remember the time that I spilled the cup
Of apple juice in the hall
Please tell mom this is not her fault

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
I never conquered, rarely came
16 just held such better days
Days when I still felt alive
We couldn't wait to get outside
The world was wide, too late to try
The tour was over, we'd survived
I couldn't wait 'til I got home
To pass the time in my room alone

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
I never conquered, rarely came
Tomorrow holds such better days
Days when I still feel alive
When I can't wait to get outside
The world is wide, the time goes by
The tour is over, I've survived
I can't wait 'til I get home
To pass the time in my room alone

[Speech]
Mark: Thanks a lot
Tom: I want you all to say "fuck" with me! 1, 2, 3!
Mark: Fuck with me? Why?
Tom: Well not really, you don't say the "with me" part, just—just the "fuck" part, that's—
Mark: Ha, okay
Tom: Alright let's try that one more time
Mark: He's-
Tom: What
Mark: He just wants you to say "fuck"
Tom: Yeah, not the "with me"
Mark: But he wants you to say "with him"
Tom: With me
Mark: Okay, go ahead and try again Tom
Tom: So do I count to 3 and then say it? How do we do this?
Mark: It goes "1, 2, 3 fuck"
Tom: Okay
Mark: Okay cool
Tom: 1, 2, 3!
Crowd: Fuck!
Tom: Alright, that was so bad
Mark: Here we go, this song's called "Peggy Sue", it goes like this

​​blink-182

blink-182 set off the 1990s storm of pop-punk, blazing a trail in the genre with electrifying riffs and memorable lines—“Fuck a Dog,” anyone? The band has seen some lineup changes over the years, but its core trio (Tom DeLonge, Mark Hoppus, and Travis Barker) has mostly stood the test of time. As of 2015, DeLonge left the band to pursue other projects.

Founded in 1992 in Poway, California (a suburb in San Diego), DeLonge, Hoppus, and former drummer Scott Raynor formed the band in Raynor’s bedroom, writing songs for their demos, and playing practical jokes along the way. Initially, under the name Blink, the trio was forced to change the name to avoid a lawsuit with the Irish pop-rock group of the same name, so they added “182” at random (fans continue to speculate what “182” means to this day).

After releasing their demo album Buddha, blink-182 released Cheshire Cat in 1995 under Cargo Records. While not a major success at the time, the album generated buzz from the Southern California punk scene and major labels alike. After being signed to MCA Records, the band released Dude Ranch in 1997 with the hit singles “Dammit” and “Josie”.
