When Im lyin in my bed at night
I dont wanna grow up
Nothin ever seems to turn out right
I dont wanna grow up
How do you move in a world of fog
Thats always changing things
Makes me wish that I could be a dog
When I see the price that you pay
I dont wanna grow up
I dont ever wanna be that way
I dont wanna grow up

Seems like folks turn into things
That theyd never want
The only thing to live for
Is today...
Im gonna put a hole in my tv set
I dont wanna grow up
Open up the medicine chest
And I dont wanna grow up
I dont wanna have to shout it out
I dont want my hair to fall out
I dont wanna be filled with doubt
I dont wanna be a good boy scout
I dont wanna have to learn to count
I dont wanna have the biggest amount
I dont wanna grow up

Well when I see my parents fight
I dont wanna grow up
They all go out and drinking all night
And I dont wanna grow up
Id rather stay here in my room
Nothin out there but sad and gloom
I dont wanna live in a big old tomb
On grand street

When I see the 5 oclock news
I dont wanna grow up
Comb their hair and shine their shoes
I dont wanna grow up
Stay around in my old hometown
I dont wanna put no money down
I dont wanna get me a big old loan
Work them fingers to the bone
I dont wanna float a broom
Fall in love and get married then boom
How the hell did I get here so soon
I dont wanna grow up

Depends what you like, really. I've never lived in Vancouver, so I can't properly compare, but I've been there enough to know I like Victoria better. It's smaller, it's less crowded (except for a few months during tourist season*), it's easier to get around. It has the novelty of being on an island. The people are awesome. The weather is generally great (hope you like rain though!). The restaurants are great. The women are beautiful.

The bad? Sometimes it feels too small. It's difficult NOT to run into people, though it can be managed. Leaving the island costs money. The club scene is not on the same level as Vancouver, for sure, if you're into that.

* unlike "hunting season", tourist season doesn't mean you can shoot the tourists. unfortunately.
