29 by Lloyd Cole And The Commotions Lyrics

Life begins at thirty
So I have been told
I can easily believe it
The way I'm getting on
Yes I'm getting on

You hang around backstreet bars
For what you wish you knew
You say give me something cheap
Something I won't want to keep
Love's not everything

I was just hoping you might stay
Hell, it's hard to say
I was hoping you might stick around
Until the morning

You've heard it all before, kid
I'll say it all again
And I'm going to live a lush life
An ask for nothing much life
Love's not everything
I was just hoping you might stay
Hell, it's hard to say
I was hoping you might stick around
If you were doing nothing
Fool for love...

I was just hoping you might stay
But it's not easy to say
Hey, you doing nothing?
Fool for love...

And it's not only the lonely
Not only the lonely
Fall for love
