life begins at 30.

Lyrics:Seems the fashion's for one-liners these days*The kind that get up everyone's nose,So much back-slapping that the vertabraeAre fatally exposed...Me, I'm pushing thirty, pulling sixteen,Though much of what's around me is dead.They got so shirty when I tried to gleanThe meaning from what they'd said:"If you wanna be a viable artist when you're twenty-fiveYou'd better be a meat-head by the time you're twenty-one."But now I'm pushing thirty and I'm still alive,So tell me who, tell me who,Tell me who, yeah, tell me who has won?See the survivors in the upcoming acts,They and the moguls make a regular killing -Others take it lying on their backs,Young blood is always so willing.Me, I'm pushing thirty, that's the way it is,Too late to change my mind.They play it dirty in the record bizAnd you've got to toe the line.If you wanna be an A & R man when the singing's doneYou'd better make sure that you hedge your bets.Me, I'm pushing thirty and still having fun,I haven't stopped, I haven't stopped,I haven't stopped, I haven't stopped that yet!All the writers watch each other for the way to go,Follow each other like lemmings -Swear they're all waiting for Nicky LoweTo turn out like David Hemmings...Me, I'm pushing thirty and the steady zone,Perhaps I should retire,But even if it all deserts me and I'm left aloneI still know that I'm fuelled by fire.In this rubbish world you've got to keep that under the lid,'cos they all hope it'll disappear...But even though I'm pushing thirty,Maybe on the skids,I still can be, I still can be,I still can be, I still can be Nadir!I still can be Nadir!Yes, I still can be Nadir!Got a sixteen-year-old heart!

Hey TallMike, gracias amigo. What a great song. I've always wondered at the lack of a drummer on this.... yes saxophones... no drums... weird....

Si j'étais un bon musicien, je me risquerais à une reprise, à une "cover" de cette chanson. J'y mettrais une agressivité maximum, un rythme frénétique, ultra-punk... J'ai toujours entendu ce titre comme un brûlot, un assaut violent. Au moins autant que pour "Nadir's Big Chance".

@AlbertoVO5 Thanks for the correction. Blame the record company for forgetting to include a lyric sheet in my copy of the album.

Actually the lyric is "if you want to be a viable artist ..."

Although Hammill himself wonders about the validity of performing this song now that he's 62, he shouldn't worry. Basically a tune about the need to have fun in the face of encroaching age (stated in a humorous way--you can't take a line like "If you wanna be a Bible artist when you're 25, you better be a meathead by the time you're 21" too seriously)--a valuable need really when you think about it.
