Best Mistake

from Flimsy Bombastic EP by Dusty Doves

	/

lyrics

If I had to live my life again
I'd name my child Gallipoli
But I'd make the same mistakes again
I wouldn't do things differently

Should my pencil scrape the page again
And echo off tin roof at me?
If the classroom will just hem me in
Could we not do things differently?

So everyone meet at the beach at ten
Oh I'll bring that horse, and you bring your friend

Well I heard they're making damper, friend
Just around the creek from me
The white ash is still warm to touch
A tribute to our memory

Our cousins will be in the wax museum
Play touch at the beach or the Colosseum

This is the best mistake we've ever made!
We don't want to change
This is the best mistake we've ever made

This is the best mistake we've ever made!
We don't want to change
This is the best mistake we've ever made
