《Pushing Thirty(2006 Digital Remaster)》歌词

[00:00:00] Pushing Thirty (2006 Digital Remaster) - Peter Hammill

[00:00:23] Seems the fashion's for one-liners these days

[00:00:26] The kind that get up everyone's nose

[00:00:30] So much back-slapping that the vertabrae

[00:00:33] Are fatally exposed

[00:00:36] Me I'm pushing thirty pulling sixteen

[00:00:40] Though much of what's around me is dead

[00:00:44] They got so shirty when I tried to glean

[00:00:47] The meaning from what they'd said:

[00:00:50] "If you wanna be a viable artist when you're twenty-five

[00:00:54] You'd better be a meat-head by the time you're twenty-one "

[00:00:58] But now I'm pushing thirty and I'm still alive

[00:01:03] So tell me who tell me who

[00:01:06] Tell me who yeah tell me who has won

[00:01:09] See the survivors in the upcoming acts

[00:01:12] They and the moguls make a regular killing –

[00:01:15] Others take it lying on their backs

[00:01:19] Young blood is always so willing

[00:01:23] Me I'm pushing thirty that's the way it is

[00:01:26] Too late to change my mind

[00:01:30] They play it dirty in the record biz

[00:01:34] And you've got to toe the line

[00:01:37] If you wanna be an A & R man when the singing's done

[00:01:40] You'd better make sure that you hedge your bets

[00:01:46] Me I'm pushing thirty and still having fun

[00:01:49] I haven't stopped I haven't stopped

[00:01:53] I haven't stopped I haven't stopped that yet

[00:02:50] All the writers watch each other for the way to go

[00:02:53] Follow each other like lemmings –

[00:02:56] Swear they're all waiting for Nicky Lowe

[00:03:00] To turn out like David Hemmings

[00:03:04] Me I'm pushing thirty and the steady zone

[00:03:07] Perhaps I should retire

[00:03:10] But even if it all deserts me and I'm left alone

[00:03:14] I still know that I'm fuelled by fire

[00:03:17] In this rubbish world you've got to keep that under the lid

[00:03:21] 'Cos they all hope it'll disappear

[00:03:26] But even though I'm pushing thirty

[00:03:28] Maybe on the skids

[00:03:30] I still can be I still can be

[00:03:33] I still can be I still can be Nadir

[00:03:50] I still can be I still can be

[00:04:00] I still can be Nadir

[00:04:04] Yes I still can be Nadir

[00:04:06] Got a sixteen-year-old heart
