Lyrics: Tim Minchin
Music: 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 a man
Pain I can do
I can have a dark side too
I can have a dark side
Yipee
Hahahaha
Yeah
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 m-m-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 reveal my tortured internals
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
I wrote a letter to Mr. Sony
Said, "Hey, S-Sony, what′s g-going down
down
down?
I've got a record and I reckon it′s wicked
And I t-think you should s-spread it around"
He said, "Hey Tim, I quite like your work"
He said, "It's clever and quir-ky 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!"
teenage market
-SOLO-
Yeah I
I can have a dark side
If you want me to
If you want me to
I can have a dark side too
I, I can have a dark side
If you want me to
yeah mother****er
I can have a dark side
Hey I
I can have a dark side
If you want me to
if you want, if you want
if you want, if you want
f you want ′em to
I
I can have a dark side
If you want me to
