I'm never gonna be the handyman around the house
My father was,
So don't be asking me to hang the curtain

Rail for you because,
This screwdriver business just gets me confused
It takes me half an hour to change a fuse

And when I flick the switch, the lights all blew
I'm not your handyman!


Don't be expecting me to put up shelves
Or build the 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 t, and just shift back the e

And I'll find a way to make my poetry
Build a roof over our head.


I know it looks like I'm just reading the paper
But these ideas will turn to gold dust later
Cause I'm a writer, not a decorator,

I'm not your handyman!
