“30/90”
Stop the clock
Take time out
Time to regroup
Before you lose the bout
Face the thrill
Back it up
Time to refocus
Before they lap it up
Years are getting shorter
The lines on your face are getting longer
Feel like you’re treading water
But the riptide’s getting stronger
Don’t panic, don’t jump ship
Can’t fight it, like taxes
At least it happens
Only once in your life
They’re singing, “Happy Birthday”
You just wanna lay down and cry
Not just another birthday, it’s 30/90
Why can’t you stay 29
Hell, you still feel like you’re 22
Turn 30 in 1990
Bang! You’re dead. What can you do?
What can you do?
What can you do?
Clear the runway
Make another pass
Try one more hook
Before you’re out of gas
Friends are getting fatter
Hairs on you head are getting thinner
Feel like a clean up batter
On a team that ain’t a winner
Don’t freak out, don’t strike out
Can’t fight it, like City Hall
At least you’re not alone
Your friends are there too
They’re singing, “Happy Birthday”
You just wish you could run away
Who cares about a birthday?
But 30/90, hey
Can’t you be optimistic?
You’re no longer eons of you
Turn 30, 1990
Voom! You’re passe
What can you do?
Peter Pan and Tinkerbell
Which way to Never Never Land?
Emerald City’s gone to hell
Since the wizard blew off his command
On the streets you hear the voices
Lost children, crocodiles
But you’re not into
Making choices, wicked witches,
Poppy fields, or men behind the curtains,
Tiger lilies, ruby slippers
Clock is ticking, that’s for certain
They’re singing, “Happy Birthday”
I just wish it all were a dream
It feels much more like doomsday
What 30/90 seems
I’m dying for a twister
I don’t see a rainbow, do you?
Turn 30 into 90
Look into my hands now
What the ball has passed
I want the spoils, but not too fast
The world is falling
It’s now or neverland
Why can’t I stay till
The forever end?
30/90. 30/90. 30/90. 30/90. 30/90. 30/90.
What can I do? What can I do?

At the age of three, he moved to Surrey, U.K., with his parents and older brother, where he lived till the time of his death. A member of the English and Polish Jewish communities, he is a member of a mixed-race family. His family is regarded as middle class, and he was raised in a school that is regarded as a private institution, the City of London Freemen’s School. His first role in a theatre production began while he was still a student in a youth theatre company. He attended the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama in London at the age of 19 when he was a student there.

He played Eduardo in The Social Network (2010) and Tommy in The Never Let Me Go (2011), two films that brought him to the attention of the whole world because of the roles that they played. As a result of the same year, he was cast in the movie The Amazing Spider-Man (2012), which rebooted the Spider-Man franchise and made him a global star. A second time on screen, he reenacted the role in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014), before the baton was passed to Tom Holland for the third installment.
Having returned to his work in dramas, Garfield has starred in Ramin Bahrani’s 99 Homes (2014), with Michael Shannon, as well as Mel Gibson’s Hacksaw Ridge (2016), about real-life Seventh Day Adventist war hero Desmond Doss.
