I am not afraid
Of mending things, you've heard,
There's nothing I can't fix, because
I'm a DIY-loving nerd,
I'm just tryin' to build
A lovely new PC
One that I just got
From that new company,

Oh! What did I just do?
I've trodden on the glue,
It's oozed out straight
From carrying my weight
So now I'm getting nowhere, baby

I've got to get this thing together,
But I've stuck the components,
And they won't come out of this
Damned box, what do I have to do?
I hope with luck the components
Can be pulled right out of it.

I will not forsake
The chance to build this thing
At night I will keep working
So I'm not left with nothing,
My wish has been granted
By the manual that I see
I'm flicking through the book
But it's all in Japanese!

Oh, I am such a fool
For messing with the glue, oh,
Now this is tough,
And I have really had enough
Of building PCs now, my oh my,

I've got to get this thing together,
But I've stuck the components,
And they won't come out of this
Damned box, look at it now,
I've gone and I've stuck the components
And they won't come out of it.

The kit was expensive, price was steep,
This room is warm and the glue's dry, you see, yeah,
You sat there laughing, but me, I'm just appalled,
This kit is now worth nothing at all, oh and I,

I've got to get this thing together,
But I've stuck the components,
And they won't come out of this
Damned box, what do I have to do?
I hope with luck the components
Can be pulled right out of it.

And if the box won't open,
And if the glue's gone hard,
And if I cannot alter
This lot of sticky parts,
And if- and if the box won't open,
And if- and if the glue's gone hard,
And if I cannot alter,
This lot of sticky parts,
They're just components, I'll buy more parts.
