It’s my unfortunate honour to welcome you to The Dead Fathers Club One day he was eating his breakfast The next he was not You feel lost and you’re friends are all saying If there’s anything I can do If there’s anything I can Well you’re part of a club now friend You're with us, we understand When to call, when to shut up We share stories, drink til it’s light Laugh til you’re not afraid of the night Stare it down It won’t be long til you’re ok In a not really ok kinda way It was a Thursday in July when I joined The Dead Fathers Club You couldn’t find a better dad Though he made me so no one’s perfect Whether yours was a hero or a villain He did the best he could And you can’t refuse an invitation sent from The Dead Fathers Club So when you’re ironing his shirts at 3am For no reason you can explain If there’s anything I can do If there’s anything I can do If there’s anything I can Well you’re part of a club now friend Let it out, we understand When to call, when to shut up We share stories, drink til it’s light Laugh til we’re not afraid of the night So stick around Cos in the end you’ll be ok In an actually ok kinda way You’re in the Dead Fathers Club So we talk about the cheery ones, the serious ones The ones we hope to be If there’s anything I can do If there’s anything I can do I’ll break down your door Cos you’re part of the club now friend You and me here til the end And then our kids Will learn when to call, when to shut up They'll share stories, drink til it’s light Laugh til they're not afraid of the night Stick around So in the end they'll be ok In an actually ok kinda way You’re in The Dead Fathers Club Dead Fathers Club

Has anyone had a voice quite like Nina Simone That woman didn’t take no crap from anyone I heard that she once waved a gun til she got paid I feel unworthy just invoking her name And you loved her music while you were growing up She would sing for you while you did the washing up Help those dishes fly straight into the rack ’Til they were ready to stack Oh she was part of your home Oh she was part of your home Oh she was part of your home Oh she was part of your home When I was a boy it was probably Steely Dan We’d fumble through covers in the Morley Family Band I’d play piano though I’d always get it wrong Just watch my father and my uncle sing along When I learned guitar well I studied every note Though solos were no-nos cos my fingers were too slow Didn’t know they were named after a fictional adult toy But then again I was only a boy Oh they were part of my home Oh they were part of my home Oh they were part of my home Oh they were part of my home Now we’re older and this year we were wed Still in the phase where we’d rather stay in bed Can’t help wondering what the future holds Between now and when we’re old What will be part of our home What will be part of our home What will be part of our home What will be part of our home
