it was no compliment (oh no)
what's wrong with william holden caulfield (oh yeah)?
all that stuff that bummed me out ten years ago
still bugs me today, and boy i wanna know
who died and made you my mom and me some stupid kid
how can you forget all those things we did?
so keep on sleeping on
till your hair is grey (I say!)
when I turn eighty
i better feel this way
i'm afraid of people who like Catcher in the Rye
yeah, i like it too, but someone tell me why
people he'd despise say i feel like that guy
and i don't wanna grow up 'cause i don't wanna die
when i'm thirty-one
then keep living on
for fifty more years
So! (He called me William Holden Caufield)
It was no compliment
What's wrong with William Holden Caufield?
so keep on sleeping on
till your hair is grey (I say!)
when I turn eighty
i better feel this way
i respect the man in _sunset_boulevard_
got a heart somewhere just won't let down his guard
doesn't trust happiness or the bad luck that it brings
he's lonely and he's cold and he's proud of these things
i said i'm cold
and i'm lonely
i said i'm cold
i said i'm lonely
La la la la la lonely
La la la la la lonely
La la la la la lonely
La la la la la lonely
i'm proud of these things
so keep on sleeping on
till your hair is grey (I say!)
when I turn eighty
I better feel
I better feel
I better feel this way
William Holden Caufield
Too Much Joy
