Josh Woodward - The Handyman's Lament

 
    Today, I finally uploaded my video, How to Make Vietnamese Egg Coffee, on my YouTube channel. It's been a long while since I uploaded my previous coffee video. I've been very busy this month because of moving to new place and my home renovation project. Anyway, this time, I used The Handyman's Lament, one of Josh Woodward's songs, as background music for this video. I love all his songs :)

Lyrics

When I drop a plate, I sweep the shards of glass into the trash
When I pop an E string, I can change a new one in a flash
But when you break, I'm stuck without a clue
I never learned to fix a thing like you
 
When the server's down, you sudo /sbin/reboot in a shell
When the market tanks, you call a broker, tell him "sell sell sell"
But when you're down, I don't know what to do
I never learned to fix a thing like you

    I'll lend an ear
    To find out what I need to repair
    But I will try and dry your eyes and fix the scattered parts
    Yeah, I will learn to mend your troubled heart

When I cut my hand, I grab the Neosporin from the shelf
When I stub my toe, I curse in flowing verses to myself
But when you hurt, I'm stuck without a clue
I never learned to fix a thing like you

When a faucet leaks, I tighten up the gasket with a wrench
When a toilet's stuck, I plunge it down before the floor is drenched
But when you cry, I don't know what to do
I never learned to fix a thing like you

   I'll lend an ear
   To find out what I need to repair
   But I will try and dry your eyes and fix the scattered parts
   Yeah, I will learn to mend your troubled heart

I know, I'm slow
I've got so much to learn
But you'll see, I'll be
The place that you can turn

   I'll lend an ear
   To find out what I need to repair
   But I will try and dry your eyes and fix the scattered parts
   Yeah, I will learn to mend your troubled heart
