(+) Handyman

☆ Handyman

I’ll never gonna be the handyman around the house

My father warned,

So don’t be asking me to hang the curtain

Right for you because

The 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 a "T", and shift back to "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!
