In Middle Of The Road by The Pretenders, I knew I could never be as cool or as free as Chrissie Hynde because I could never see myself "standing in the middle of life with my pants behind me."
I only recently learned it was "standing in the middle of life with my pains behind me." To me it still sounds like "pants."
