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

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

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

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

Are fatally exposed [00:00:33]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Perhaps I should retire [00:03:07]

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

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

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

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

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

Maybe on the skids [00:03:28]

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

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

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

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

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

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