Nana Mouskouri

Nana Mouskouri - Dignity songtekst

Je score:

Fat man lookin' in a blade of steel, thin man lookin' at his last meal

Hollow man lookin' in a cottonfield for dignity



Wise man lookin' in a blade of grass, young man lookin' in the shadows

that pass

Poor man lookin' through painted glass for dignity



CHORUS #1:

Somebody got murdered on New Year's Eve

Somebody said dignity was the first to leave

I went into the city, went into the town

Went into the land of the midnight sun



Searchin' high, searchin' low, searchin' everywhere I know

Askin' the cops wherever I go, "Have you seen Dignity?"



Blind man breakin' out of a trance, puts both his hands in the pocket of

chance

Hopin' to find one circumstance of dignity



I went to the wedding of Mary-lou, she said I don't want nobody see me

talkin to you

Said she could get killed if she told me what she knew about dignity



CHORUS #2:

I went down where the vultures feed

I would've gone deeper, but there wasn't any need

Heard the tongues of angels and the tongues of men, wasn't any

difference to me



Chilly wind sharp as a razor blade, house on fire, debts unpaid

Gonna stand at the window, gonna ask the maid, "Have you seen dignity?"



Drinkin' man listens to the voice he hears

In a crowded room full of covered up mirrors

Lookin' into the lost forgotten years for dignity



Met Prince Phillip at the home of the blues

Said he'd give me information if his name wasn't used

He wanted money up front, said he was abused by dignity



CHORUS #3:

Footprints runnin' cross the silver sand, steps goin' down into tatoo

land

I met the sons of darkness and the sons of light, in the bordertowns of

despair



Got no place to fade, got no coat, I'm on the rollin' river in a jerkin'

boat

Tryin' to read a note somebody wrote about dignity



Sick man lookin' for the doctor's cure, lookin' at his hands for the

lines that were

And into every masterpiece of literature for dignity



Englishman stranded in the blackheart wind

Combin his hair back his future looks thin

Bites the bullet and he looks within for dignity



CHORUS #4:

Someone showed me a picture and I just laughed, dignity never been

photographed

I went into the red, went into the black, into the valley of dry bone

dreams



So many roads, so much at stake, so many dead ends, I'm at the edge of

the lake

Sometimes I wonder what it's gonna take to find dignity
