David Bowie – Getting Rusty Lyrics

Rock

Let me as you another question
About pre-tours
I mean
It's been four years since
The serious Moonlight tour
Do you ever between tours get to the stage
Where you think, "Oh my god
I'm really getting so rusty"
I'm talking about the physical

Physically
No
I would hazard to say
That I'm probably
In much better health physically
Than I was in my mid twenties thirties
I could never have
I know that I personally could
Never have sustained a show like this
When I was that age
I would have flaked out
Within a week
Quite absolutely
Because I was pretty rough
On my self in those days
And there is no way
I could have endured it
But these days
I guess I've got a kind of a
A system
Apart from the cigarettes
That works for me
Um
And it's just fairly sensible training
I mean
When I'm at home
I go to the gym
About three or four times a week
In the mornings
And it's nothing very gargantuan
But it's enough to keep me
In pretty healthy condition
And generally I'm a fairly healthy guy
I guess going to the gym
And all that working out a bit
Just keeps me in pretty good shape

So those sides of it
I never particularly worried
If I did have worries
It was about whether
I was going to lose the audience
But I kind of enjoy getting of
On that way
How far can I push my
Audience without losing
Them entirely

This is living danger

Yeah
Yeah
I
I mean this is pretty
Self indulgent show
It's
I love it
I love it
It's it's really indulgent
In as much that
It's exactly what I want to see
When I go and see rock show
And I presume
My presumption is
Is that I if I enjoy it
Then there's going to be
A good percentage of people out there
That will enjoy it too
