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

Part Of Our Home

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
