about
Thirty Something is a song from me written to my body, asking it to hold out long enough for me to be able to have children of my own one day, should I be that lucky. It's a realisation song about how our bodies change as we age and how aches and pains seem to stick around for a little longer than they used to, and how we become so aware of time ticking over when we haven't yet fulfilled the dream of having children by the time you thought you might have done. It's a hopeful song that pokes fun at my own lack of eloquence and flaws with its tongue firmly in its cheek.
lyrics
Thirty-Something
I think my back is playin’ up again,
I’ve got the front to bring it down but then,
Somebody might know, somebody might go…
I think I’ve landed on my crow’s feet,
My dancing lands before I hit the beat,
Somebody might fall; somebody might call…
I feel my body goin’ under,
All the hopefulness I like to keep in place,
I know my mind has gone asunder,
I’m devoid of normal elegance and grace,
But I’m askin’ of it one more time,
Can you wait until the end of the line,
There’s just one thing I’ve got to do,
That’s try to be a daddy with you.
I’m taking out more than I put back in,
It hurts to eat without my Ritalin,
Somebody might fear, somebody might hear…
I’m taking longer just to heal a bruise,
And even longer still to feel amused,
Somebody might see, somebody might be…
I feel my body goin’ under,
All the hopefulness I like to keep in place,
I know my mind has gone asunder,
I’m devoid of normal elegance and grace,
But I’m askin’ of it one more time,
Can you wait until the end of the line,
There’s just one thing I’ve got to do,
That’s try to be a daddy with you.
And I feel, thirty-something,
Looking out on, (on) a perfect morning,
And the thoughts that take my mind,
Are the ones of a change in kind,
When my blood’s in my head and my heart’s in the know,
I’ll be ready for another go…
I feel my body goin’ under,
All the hopefulness I like to keep in place,
I know my mind has gone asunder,
I’m devoid of normal elegance and grace,
But I’m askin’ of it one more time,
Can you wait until the end of the line,
There’s just one thing I’ve got to do,
That’s try to be a daddy with you.
I think it’s getting past my bedtime,
I’ve got to put the blanket up to five,
Somebody might feel, somebody like me…
