Dignified and Old Songtext
von The Modern Lovers

My telephone never rings
She′d never call me
I hate myself today
But I can see through this bitterness and sadness
And so I won't die
Someday I think I′ll be dignified and old

Well, my friends say I deceive myself
And that I contradict myself
And I can't say if they're right
But I′m not ashamed
Oh, I can take a challenge
And so I won′t die
Someday I'll be dignified and old, I know it

And I say hey kids (hey kids)
I said hey kids (hey kids)
I say someday we′ll be dignified and old
That's right


I said some day we′ll be dignified (hey kids, hey kids)
Someday we'll be dignified (hey kids, hey kids)
Someday we could be dignified and old together

Well now
Look at the mountain
My girl and I used to stand on the mountain
And the sun shines, she′s dead, and I cry
But I can see through this death and the sadness
And so I won't die now
Someday I wanna be dignified and old

Well now, see the desert
I sit all alone in the desert
And no girl understands me
But I can see through this bleakness and grey and sadness
And well I won't die now

Someday I′ll be dignified and old
I say, hey you, don′t die now
Someday we'll be dignified and old together
