Lyrics to “Dark Side” by Tim Minchin

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


Yippee!

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 all of my magic has gone."
I said "hey baby, what you talkin' 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"
Woah yeah


Yippee!

I wrote a letter to Mr Sony, it said "Hey S-Sony, what's g-going down?
I got a record and I reckon it's wicked and I th-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 disks
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

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 came to my ball games
Daddy never came

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

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
