Today Tim released his poignant new single ‘Ruby‘, offering a glimpse into his new album Tim Minchin Time Machine, which will be out July 25th 2025.

‘Ruby’ draws from a real-life story of a mother-daughter bond, complex, bruised, and ultimately full of love. You can listen/download the song here and you can watch the official music video here with the lyrics in the description and below.

Tim: “Tim Minchin Time Machine: Eleven tracks, all written in my 20s, re-imagined and – finally! – properly recorded and produced. Some songs you will know (including the first ever studio version of RocknRoll Nerd, which utterly bangs), and some songs you may not. It’s not a comedy record (though there’s plenty of joy and musical foolery), nor is it a chin-stroker (but there is plenty of loveliness). I’ll be dropping singles between now and then. Stay tuned, monkeys.”

RUBY Lyrics
I’ve been listening to your songs Ruby
Showing off to all my friends
Thought I ought to let you know
That I’m your greatest fan, Ruby.

Don’t let things freak you out Ruby
You’ve got nothing to fear
Just play this one by ear
And the tune will write itself

Lipstick on the walls
Bubble shoes in basin
All your mother wants
It’s to keep you from harm

Don’t stop writing songs
Don’t stop thinking crazy
But just don’t let her go Ruby
No matter what you do
Don’t forget, she’s someone’s daughter too
She’s just a girl like you Ruby
You Ruby

And if you’re feeling down Ruby
Don’t bear the weight yourself
You’ll never be alone
Cos you’re so fucking loved Ruby

Lipstick on the walls
High heeled shoes and naked
All your mother wants
It’s to keep you from harm

Don’t stop writing songs
Don’t stop playing your game
But don’t let her slip away Ruby
No matter what they say
Don’t forget, she also feels this way
No never let her go Ruby
No matter what you do
Don’t forget, she’s someone’s daughter too
She’s just a girl like you Ruby
Ruby
