about

A song from 2008 about getting/being old, inspired by Cliff and Peter, Bjorn & John.

lyrics

Darling we’re the old ones doing what the old ones do
Darling we’re the old ones dressing like the old ones do
Darling we’re the old ones talking like the old ones do
Darling we’re the old ones living like the old ones do

We take a walk and we enjoy the view
And then we talk all about me and you
We share a laugh we want the world to stare
We run a bath, we could be anywhere

Darling we’re the old ones doing what the old ones do
Darling we’re the old ones playing what the old ones do
Darling we’re the old ones acting like the old ones do
Darling we’re the old ones looking like we’re so uncool
But we don’t care

We have a kid but it was hard to do
I’m glad we did cos now the world’s brand new
We take a trip, we take the caravan
It’s not too hip but we don’t give a damn

We are the old ones, we don’t care we have fun
We don’t play by your rules and one day you’ll be old, too

Darling we’re the old ones doing what the old ones do
Darling we’re the old ones dressing like the old ones do
Darling we’re the old ones talking like the old ones do
Darling we’re the old ones living like the old ones do

We see our friends, we see their children too
And we pretend that we are younger too
Cos way back when, when the time would go so fast
It’s not the end, no good living in the past

Darling we’re the old ones doing what the old ones do
Darling we’re the old ones playing what the old ones do
Darling we’re the old ones acting like the old ones do
Darling we’re the old ones looking like we’re so uncool
But we don’t care
