I'm Gonna Get Dressed Up (featuring St. Clare)

Now my daughter 
Asks so awkward 
Was she a mistake 
And her mum placates her saying she's the best mistake we've made 

But inside we 
fiercely hide the truth that we'd never tell her 
That the best mistakes are really still mistakes 

Drive her to netball, then drive her to dance 
For her gymnastics she needs some new pants 
I open my wallet again and again 
Ordering pizza for her and her stupid friends 

Her mother is putting on weight 
The 18 year curse of a single mistake 
is having to live with a woman you hate 
pretending you love her to keep visitation rights 

The lawyers are best left unpaid 
and now I must live with the choices I've made 
But I think of the times that I could have got laid 
If I didn't have Abigail in the third grade at school 

That name was her mother's choice, Abigail 
Decided when she was no more than braille 
A bump on the tummy of soon-to-be mummy 
When all of my friends were suggesting I bail 

Now my daughter 
Asks so awkward 
Was she a mistake 
And her mum placates her saying she's the best mistake we've made 

But inside we 
fiercely hide the truth that we'd never tell her 
That the best mistakes are really still mistakes 

Don't think I don't love her, I definitely do 
My daughter means everything, still if I knew 
That night what would come from that meaningless screw 
I'd probably have put on a condom or two 

or three or four or five 
But what's done is done and now she's alive 
And though I don't love her mum I can't deprive 
my girl of her father whatever the price 

So I swallow my pride, forget all my dreams 
Don't risk my job in the corporate machine 
I've gotta provide till she reaches 18 
Though every day feels like I'm swimming upstream 

The times I've been hugged, The times I've been kissed 
Spinning in circles while holding her wrists 
I know it's a blessing she even exists 
It almost makes up for the life that I've missed 
but not quite 

Now my daughter 
Asks so awkward 
Was she a mistake 
And her mum placates her saying she's the best mistake we've made 

But inside we 
fiercely hide the truth that we'd never tell her 
That the best mistakes are really still mistakes

You
And I
I'll keep You
In my mind
Standing there in your underwear
With your long black hair
Please wait
I've been a fool
But when the train stops calling
And the clouds sit o the floor
When hands thank You
And views look back
You.
When tomorrow can't wait for You
Please wait
When silence bows for You
And the dogs feed the boy
You know me fire
You know me fire
You.

Wait, please wait

When the train stops calling
And the clouds sit on the floor
When hands thank you
And views look back
When the word stops talking
When truth lies broken
Will we still know?
May we still love?
We will die alone

Kirin J Callinan - Love Delay

In their first  year, t:dy t:wns had their song “Sweet Fantasy”  reach no.4 in the Australian national airit charts, sold out a headline show at the Bella Union as part of Melbourne Music Week and had their music played on JJJ, RRR, FBi and all major community radio stations across Australia. Their music has been featured on blogs & news sites as far afield as the Paris Review, New Zealand’s Cheese on Toast as well as Melbourne’s own Mess & Noise. Reviewing their live show, Melbourne based music journalist Andy Hazel said “A major addition to Melbourne’s music scene has arrived, and they’re glorious.”
