1. Ambrosia was a California, United States band formed by David Pack (guitars, vocals), Christopher North (keyboards), Burleigh Drummond (drums) and Joe Puerta (bass, vocals). On their self-titled LP in 1974, they blended quirky progressive rock with lush harmonies and scored hits with the offbeat song Nice, Nice, Very Nice and the ballad Holdin' on to Yesterday. Their subsequent albums focussed more and more on the pop ballads and less and less on the progressive elements, and while they had some success with singles, they called it quits after 1982's Road Island. Ambrosia re-formed in the late 90s and continue to tour and enterain their fans. A live CD Live at the Galaxy was released in 2002, and they are currently recording a new studio album that long time fans are hoping will be released in 2009.

Kid No More
Ambrosia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That I'm gettin' too old to act the fuckin' fool that I feel Maybe I'm just too lazy
To stop actin' crazy and past the point of playin' for real
But oh, it's makin' me
Old man, it's sure takin' its toll
Can't put on the brakes yet
Got the pedal to the floor
But man you ain't a kid you ain't a kid, no more
And ready to run like hell
But I'd rather be racin' 'round
While she's busy face down In my 450 S.E.L.
But whoa, little lady don't ask for my I.D.
Don't want to know, no I don't
Gettin' all the lovin' now I never had before
But kid you ain't a kid you ain't a kid, no more
Yeah, when you feel this way
Well you get your kicks and lovin' nearly every day
Yeah, when he feels this way
Then he knows what he wants and he takes what he gets And he...
I need a shot like a trigger from a potion in a jigger
To keep my motor razor clean
I might start actin' funny but don't worry honey
Just lay back and service my machine
I may be older but the grape gets sweeter
The longer that it's on the vine
You got no right in what you're thinkin'
After doin' what you did
Kid you ain't a kid you ain't a kid, no more
Repeat

Line by Line Meaning
Well, it's beginning to take hold
I'm starting to realize
That I'm gettin' too old to act the fuckin' fool that I feel
I'm feeling old and can't act immature anymore
Maybe I'm just too lazy
Perhaps I'm just uninterested
To stop actin' crazy and past the point of playin' for real
I am unable to stop behaving erratically
But oh, it's makin' me
It’s exhausting me
Old man, it's sure takin' its toll
I’m feeling the effects of old age
Can't put on the brakes yet
I can’t slow down yet
Got the pedal to the floor
I'm still going at full speed
But man you ain't a kid you ain't a kid, no more
I’m not young anymore
Well now I'm pushin' thirty but my legs are sturdy
I'm getting old, but I still have my strength
And ready to run like hell
I am still able to move quickly
But I'd rather be racin' 'round
I prefer to move around freely
While she's busy face down In my 450 S.E.L.
While she's busy pleasuring me in my fancy car
But whoa, little lady don't ask for my I.D.
Don’t bother asking about my age
Don't want to know, no I don't
I want to keep pretending I'm young
Gettin' all the lovin' now I never had before
I'm experiencing a lot of love now that I never had when I was younger
But kid you ain't a kid you ain't a kid, no more
I’m still old
Yeah, when you feel this way
When I feel this way
Well you get your kicks and lovin' nearly every day
I enjoy life and experiences every day
Yeah, when he feels this way
When I feel this way
Then he knows what he wants and he takes what he gets
I know what I want and take what I can get
And he...
I need a shot like a trigger from a potion in a jigger
I need a drink to keep going
To keep my motor razor clean
To keep me going smoothly
I might start actin' funny but don't worry honey
I might start acting strange but don’t be concerned
Just lay back and service my machine
Just relax and let me use you for pleasure
I may be older but the grape gets sweeter
I may be old, but I still enjoy the good things in life
The longer that it's on the vine
The longer I live, the more I enjoy life’s pleasures
You got no right in what you're thinkin'
You have no right to judge me
After doin' what you did
After you did what you did
Kid you ain't a kid you ain't a kid, no more
I’m still old
Repeat
