Tim Minchin - Not Perfect lyrics

rate me

This is my Earth

And I live in it

It’s one third dirt

And two thirds water

And it rotates and revolves through space

At rather an impressive pace

And never even messes up my hair

And here’s the really weird thing

The force created by its spin

Is the force that stops the chaos flooding in

This is my Earth

And it’s fine

It’s where I spend the vast majority of my time

It’s not perfect

But it’s mine

It’s not perfect

This is my country

And I live in it

It’s pretty big

And nice to walk on And the bloke who runs my country

Has built a demagoguery

And tought us to be fearful and boring

And the wierdest thing is that he is

Conservative of politics

But really rather radical of eyebrow

This is my country

And it’s fine

It’s where I spend the vast majority of my time

It’s not perfect

But it’s mine

It’s not perfect

This is my house

And I live in it

It’s made of cracks

And photographs

We rent it off a guy who bought it from a guy

Who bought it from a guy

Whose grandad left it to him

And the weirdest thing is that this house

Has locks to keep the baddies out

But they’re mostly used to lock ourselves in

This is my house

And it’s fine

It’s where I spend the vast majority of my time

It’s not perfect

But it’s mine

It’s not perfect

But it's mine

This is my body

And I live in it

It’s 31

And 6 months old

It’s changed a lot since it was new

It’s done stuff it wasn’t built to do

I often try to fill it up with wine

And the weirdest thing about it is

I spend so much time hating it

But it never says a bad word about me

This is my body

And it’s fine

It’s where I spend the vast majority of my time

It’s not perfect

But it’s mine

It’s not perfect

This is my brain

And I live in it

It’s made of love

And bad song lyrics

It’s tucked away behind my eyes

Where all my screwed up thoughts can hide

Cos God forbid I hurt somebody

And the weirdest thing about a mind

Is that every answer that you find

Is the basis of a brand new cliché

This is my brain

And it’s fine

It’s where I spend the vast majority of my time

It’s not perfect

But it’s mine

It’s not perfect

I’m not quite sure I’ve worked out how to work it

It’s not perfect

But it’s mine
