Smash Mouth is an alternative rock band from San Jose, California that formed in 1994, the band comprises Steve Harwell (lead vocalist), Greg Camp (guitarist/songwriter), Paul De Lisle (bassist), and new drummer since early 2006, Jason Sutter (replacing Michael Urbano, who left due to creative differences). Their hit songs include "Walkin' on the Sun" (1997) and "All Star" (1999). Focused at times playing "neo-ska" music, the band has adopted retro styles spanning several decades of popular music, as well as performing covers of popular songs such as The Monkees' "I'm a Believer" and War's "Why Can't We Be Friends" as well as cult favorites such as ? and the Mysterians' "Can't Get Enough of You Baby" (though their version owes more to The Colourfield's interpretation; in fact, the band at first believed it was a Colourfield original). Smash Mouth's first album Fush Yu Mangcame out in June 1997. This album could be said to be "neo ska".

Story of My Life Lyrics

Smash Mouth

I Get To The Party, But I'm Too Late
And I Got Stood Up On My Very First Date
I Listen To Country And Everybody Goes Rock
I Get To The Dance Floor, That's When The Music Stops

It Doesn't Matter What I Do, I Just Can't Seem To Win
But Here I Go Again

And I Say
Hey That's The Story Of My Life
I Had A Good Plan But It Didn't Go Right
Oh No I'm Overdrawn
I Check My Account And The Money's All Gone
Why Me I Don't Know What To Think
I Finally Get Aboard And The Whole Boat Sinks
Seems To Be The Story Of My Life

I Pick A Slot Machine And Lose It All Again
But When I Walk Away, Someone Else Always Wins
When She Finally Calls Me, I Forget My Phone
And When I'm Starving, You Know The Kitchen's Closed

It Doesn't Matter What I Try, It All Ends The Same
And Here I Go Again

Hey That's The Story Of My Life
I Had A Good Plan But It Didn't Go Right
Oh No I'm Overdrawn
I Check My Account And The Money's All Gone
Why Me I Don't Know What To Think
I Finally Get Aboard And The Whole Boat Sinks
Seems To Be The Story Of My Life

Just When It Seems Like It's Turnin' 'round For Me
There's Always Something That Ends Up Happening
I Found My Car But I Can't Find My Keys

I Get To The Party A Little Too Late
And Once Again The Music Stops To Play

Hey That's The Story Of My Life
I Had A Good Plan But It Didn't Go Right
Oh No I'm Overdrawn
I Check My Account And The Money's All Gone
Why Me I Don't Know What To Think
I Finally Get Aboard And The Whole Boat Sinks
Seems To Be The Story Of My Life
