Tim Minchin : ‘Not Perfect’ – music video
A live performance on ABC TVs ‘Sideshow’ of Tim Minchin’s ‘Not Perfect’. Links: www.timminchin.com www.abc.net.au Lyrics: This is my Earth And I live in it It’s one third dirt And two thirds water And it rotates and revolves through space At rather an impressive pace And never even messes up my hair And here’s the really weird thing The force created by its spin Is the force that stops the chaos flooding in This is my Earth And it’s fine It’s where I spend the vast majority of my time It’s not perfect But it’s mine It’s not perfect This is my country And I live in it It’s pretty big And nice to walk on And the bloke who runs my country Has built a demagoguery And tought us to be fearful and boring And the wierdest thing is that he is Conservative of politics But really rather radical of eyebrows This is my country And it’s fine It’s where I spend the vast majority of my time It’s not perfect But it’s mine It’s not perfect This is my house And I live in it It’s made of cracks And photographs We rent it off a guy who bought it from a guy Who bought it from a guy Whose grandad left it to him And the weirdest thing is that this house Has locks to keep the baddies out But they’re mostly used to lock ourselves in This is my house And it’s fine It’s where I spend the vast majority of my time It’s not perfect But it’s mine It’s not perfect But it’s mine This is my body And I live in it It’s 31 And 6 months old It’s changed a lot since it was new It’s done stuff it wasn’t built to …

@MJlover3307 Australia. Our prime minister at the time was John Howard. He is really rather radical of eyebrows.
=^..^=

Tim is awesome as always. I have done some covers (including Ten Foot Cock And A Few Hundred Virgins) and also a tutorial for Inflatable You. Any pianists on here, let me know what you think

That song makes me a bit sad.

Ah, I’m basing my view on the first few pictures on google, I’m ashamed to say, won’t let me post.
Bearing in mind this is all I have to go on, so you may be right

when he says ‘my country’ is he talking about australia or england
LOVE YOU TIM

I love the bit after he says ‘where all my screwed up thoughts can hide’. Look closely, his eyes go very wode for a second

If John Lennon had wrote this song no one would laugh
August 28th, 2010 at 4:28 pm
Perfect he may not be but he is amazing for sure <3 beautiful song
August 28th, 2010 at 4:28 pm
POOF!

@teaganbruvv Which pics you looking at? sportcartoons.co.uk/wallpaper/johnhoward.jpg is a good comparison with Alastair’s… Not disputing Al’s are probably meaner but I think John definitely qualifies as ‘radical of eyebrows’.
August 28th, 2010 at 4:28 pm
@Breadfan01 Aha no, just googled him and they don’t look that bad? Compared to the beasts on Alastair Darling’s face

@guitarist62626 don’t be fooled by the name, the liberal party in aus is the conservative party.
August 28th, 2010 at 4:28 pm
@teaganbruvv have you never seen john howard?
August 28th, 2010 at 4:28 pm
I always thought he was talking about Alastair Darling to be honest, mostly because of the eyebrows
August 28th, 2010 at 4:28 pm
you can actually see the emotion in his eyes, this is a fantastic song and the perfect song for my life
