about

Man About the House [Wilkes, 2005] – Recorded at Analogue Cat, Sale, Manchester by Rob Ferrier

lyrics

Man about the house

She needs a man about the house
Someone who can do a proper job
A sensitive yet sensible example
Not a helpless good for nothing slob

What good’s a man about the house
When all he does is get under your feet
Go to the football and to the pub
You can pick one up like that on any street

A broken dream machine
That’s way beyond repair
No good to anyone
Oh how she must despair

She needs a man about the house
Someone who won’t get under her skin
Tells herself she’s the only one
Stupid enough to live with him

The only person he loves is himself
He never does a blessed thing
Locks himself away inside his room
Create some idea…berate some idea

One night with Pamela
Sigourney or Jennifer
A Harley Davidson
Trip across America

To get things done around her you might as well do them yourself
In the time that it takes him to think
You could have painted the fence
Wallpapered the living room
You could have fixed that kitchen sink

A broken dream machine
That’s way beyond repair
No good to anyone
Oh how she must despair
One night with Pamela
Sigourney or Jennifer
A Harley Davidson
Trip across America….
