Gilbert O'sullivan - I'm A Writer Not A Fighter lyrics

If you put me in a ring For a few rounds of boxing I'll fall down right there on the ground Cause i'm a writer, not a fighter I'm a writer, not a fighter I'm a writer, not a fighter If you take me to a place Where old trouble shows its face I'll bow out No, i won't hang about Cause i'm a writer, not a fighter I'm a writer, not a fighter I'm a writer, not a fighter But if you came to burn my home I'd be out there on my own Fighting tooth and nail To keep you all at bay But don't ask me to defend What i cannot comprehend That is violence simply for violence sake Now if you want me to prove myself Without anybody's help This i will do In a gentle way too Cause i'm a writer, not a fighter I'm a writer, not a fighter I'm a writer, not a fighter
