handyman blues

Im never gonna be the handyman around the house my father was
So dont be asking me to hang a curtain rail for you, because
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
Im not your handyman
Dont 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
Im not any good at pottery so lets lose the t and just shift back the e
And Ill find a way to make my poetry build a roof over our heads
I know it looks like Im just reading the paper
But these ideas Ill turn to gold dust later
Cause Im a writer not a decorator…
Im not your handyman
