Dark Side
Tim Minchin
Letra

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 called my girlfriend up on the phone
I said: Hey girlfriend what's going wrong?
She said: I'm breaking it off with you
I feel as if the magic has gone
I said: Hey baby what're you talking about?
I thought that everything was just fine
She said: That's exactly my 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
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 wrote a letter to Mr Sony
I said: Hey Sony what's going down?
I've got a record and I reckon it's wicked
And I think you should s-spread it around
He 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!

I said
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

Daddy never came to my ball games
Where are you daddy?
Daddy never came to my ball games
He never loved me

I
I can have a dark side
If you want me to
