Handyman Blues Songtext
von Billy Bragg

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
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
