lyrics

The Gaffer is my boyfriend
We hang out on the weekend
When he’s not working on a show
When he’s got time he’ll let me know

My agent says that he’s a zero
Should be dating a Deniro
A B-list actor would be fine
She thinks I’ve lost my mind

But she could never see
How he takes away the pain in me
She could never know
A love that isn’t just for show

Some fall for the actors
Producers or directors
But they don’t know the things I do
He loves me I love him too
He brings me chips and flowers
We can talk for hours
Or keep quiet company
The simple life’s enough for me

There are times when I’m not well
It’s funny he can always tell
When life gets me down
He’s the one I want around

I could be his best boy
He could use a rest boy
He could be my key light
Cure me of my stage fright

At nights when I get home
And I need a little time alone
We give each other space
Life’s a journey not a race
