Handyman Blues Lyrics

[00:22.11] I'm never gonna be the handyman around the house my father was
[00:32.77] So don't be asking me to hang a curtain rail for you, because
[00:42.62] Screwdriver business just gets me confused
[00:48.83] It takes me half an hour to change a fuse
[00:54.43] And when I flicked the switch the lights all blew
[00:59.28] I'm not your handyman
[01:06.25] Don't be expecting me to put up shelves or build a garden shed
[01:16.79] But I can write a song that tells the world how much I love you instead
[01:26.94] I'm not any good at pottery so let's lose the 't' and just shift back the 'e'
[01:37.39] And I'll find a way to make my poetry build a roof over our heads
[01:59.17] I know it looks like I'm just reading the paper
[02:15.48] But these ideas I'll turn to gold dust later
[02:20.99] Cause I'm a writer not a decorator...
[02:25.31] I'm not your handyman
[02:32.33]
