Part Time Dads Songtext
von Tim Rogers

Part-time dads eat over the sink
Pack lunches with frozen bread and wink
To the barely awake blossom
Blinking in track bottoms
And atomizing the room
Part-time dads eat a lot of soup
Eschew the pamphlets chewing over men′s groups
Get informed of the lies
But never needed for advice
That's just beyond you

All the reasons why
Like the wind in the tears day and night
You duck and wait for somewhere to hide
And you curse your temper and drive
But surely I was good for something
Oh, tell me I was good for something
Surely I was good for something
Oh, tell me I was good for something


You don′t want to drink or sleep overnight
But you gotta show that you're still the same guy
Start brewing tea and resume reading
Repair the plaster on the ceiling
Oh, how to swing that high
Part-time dads are superstitious
Divide the daydreams between cautions and wishes
Then get on with what you need to
What you deem to do
What can you do?

How we behave
As if the tune follows the brave
Before you lose all human say
In the traffic on a cancelled day
Tell me I was good for something
Surely I was good for something
Tell me I was good for something
Tell me I was good for something

My love, you are levity and light
And nothing, nothing hurts at all
It's just one of those days
