Tim Minchin - Dark Side lyrics

rate me

I can have a dark side

If you want me to

I can have a dark side

I can develop my brooding potential

If pain's what you want in an act

Pain I can do

I can have a dark side, too

I can have a dark side, too

HEY!

I called my girlfriend up on the phone

I said, "Hey g-girlfriend what’s g-going wrong?"

She said, "I’m breaking it off with you

I feel as if the ma-ma-magic has gone"

I said, "Hey baby what you talking about?

I thought that everything was just fine"

She said, "That’s exactly the point

I just get so annoyed how you’re so happy all the time

I need somebody deeper than you

Someone with a little third-dimension"

I said well, I can have a dark side

If you want me to

I can have a dark side

I can develop my brooding potential

If pain's what you want in a man

Pain I can do

I can have a dark side, too

I can have a dark side

I can have a dark side

I can have a dark side

(piano)

HEY!

I wrote a letter to Mr Sony

Said, "Hey S-Sony what’s g-going down?

I’ve got a record and I reckon it’s wicked

And I th-think you should s-spread it around"

Mr. Sony said, "Hey Tim, I quite like your work"

He said, "It’s clever and quirky

But I promise you this

You could be clever as Voltaire

But it won’t get you nowhere

If you wanna sell discs

Clever never made no one rich

It doesn’t appeal to the teenage market

The teenage market!"

Well, I can have a dark side

If you want me to

I can have a dark side

I can reveal my tortured internals

If pain's what you want in an act

Pain I can do

I can have a dark side, too

I can have a dark side, too

Jeremy has spoken

(vocalising)

Daddy never came to my ball games

Where were you daddy?

Daddy never came to my ball games

He never loved me

Daddy never came to my ball games (DADDY NEVER CAME)

Daddy never came to my ball games (DADDY NEVER CAME)

Daddy never came to my ball games

Daddy never CAAAAA.....

And I, I can have a dark side

If you want me to

If you want me to

Yeah I, I can have a dark side

If you want me to

I can have a dark side, too

I, I can have a dark side

If you want me to

If you want me to

Yeah I, I can have a dark side

If you want me to

Rock!
