handyman blues

Lyrics

i'm never gonna be the handyman around the house my father was, so don't be asking me to hang a curtain rail for you, because, the screwdriver business just gets me confused, it takes me half an hour to change a fuse, and when i flicked the switch, the lights all blew, i'm not your handyman, don't be expecting me to put up shelves or build a garden shed, but i can write a song that tells the world how much i love you instead, i'm not any good at pottery so let's lose the 't' and just shift back the 'e', and i'll find a way to make my poetry build a roof over our heads, i know it looks like i'm just reading the paper, but these ideas i'll turn to gold dust later, 'cause i'm a writer, not a decorator, i'm not your handyman
