Duncan's wife Nicola once told him that she'd find him more attractive if he could do DIY, something he'd always shied away from. He gave it a go, things went wrong, a charged silence ensued and then this song was written.

lyrics

I write my own songs
I play my own gigs
I cook myself my dinner
I roll my own cigs
I wipe my own arse
I drive my own car
I earn myself a living
as a contracts manager
there's one thing I can't do
it drives my wife insane
odd jobs around the house
are too much for my brain

I can't do DIY
If anything's for certain, I can't put up this curtain,
my wife she will be having it, but I cannot fix her cabinet

D
I
Y

I finally relented
and bought myself a drill
to see me fit that curtain pole
would give her quite a thrill
I looked it up on YouTube
I got my hammer out
within five minutes of DIY
I was trying not to shout
now we're separated
I'm living in the kitchen
because I can't do DIY
a ride I will be hitching

I can't do DIY
it drives her out her mind, I can't put up this blind
I never go to B&Q
there's a different way
I like to screw
