歌詞

Hello there! I got a letter in the post Addressed to the previous owner I don't know how to pronounce their name I don't think they were from round here, you know Well, I just moved into the area, yeah That big old thing over the road It's a fixer upper though, it's a fixer upper so We're gonna put poundshop terracotta frogs everywhere And wrap solar power fairy lights round the gutter Got a prosecco o'clock poster half price in Ikea Goes nicely with the existential fear I feel When I accidentally stop and wonder What I'm really doing here, and how long i've got left before i'm six feet under Can't believe I'm a two homeowner… Finally I'm a two homeowner… Can't believe I'm a two homeowner… The driveways paved with cotswold stone I got off street parking for the rover, It's a fixer upper, yeah, no, not the rover, the rover's golden I'm talking about that big old thing over the road Yeah that big old thing over the road! Gonna knock through the kitchen wall though, Yeah, I know it's grade 2 Tudor architecture But we're gonna absolutely ruin it all alright? Can't stand old shite It's a fixer upper! It's a fixer upper! It's a fixer upper! It's a fixer upper! Anyway, this letter, I'll just post it back 'return to sender' Unless you know him, I think… I think he's called J… Mr. J Konopinski. Oh no wait, that's not an M that's a D, Dr J. Konopinski, do you know him? Sounds a bit Russian to me… Oh! He was Polish was he? I see, And he had a PhD did he? What in? Probably one of those pointless media degrees, not for me University of life ya see, got a thick skin School of hard knocks, gonna knock through that wall tuesday Just in case you or the wife are gonna be in a fixer upper! It's a fixer upper! It's a fixer upper! It's a fixer upper! Alright mate, sorry about all the commotion yesterday The bloody builders are refusing to finish the job until I pay em, But I told em, no one pulls a fast one on Graham I'm Graham by the way, don't know if I mentioned I told 'em, I'm not made of money, you're having a laugh Two homes and a rover, comes from hard graft I'm not minted, I earnt it, It's not some funny voodoo business I didn't walk on gilded splinters to make the dent I did in under a year I earnt it, Incase you're wondering And as for the builders... Yeah they're polish, I'm not bothered about that But where you come from, it says alot about a man Like, I'm not from around here, but I am And, they won't take cash in hand What's with that? Maybe they wouldn't need the money so fast If they weren't willingly giving it all to the tax man You take what you can get where I'm from And I'm not from round here, but I am
