lyrics

Off we go, to find some wood, resourceful as we are
This will do great, and it's free to take
I just wish it wasn't so far
But we load up our bikes and pull bungies tight
And turn around to make our way
When from nowhere some man appears
“You got a boyfriend” he says

Within a minute he has got us cornered
Strong advances and familiar questions
Are you gay or bi or what he spits
Now he wants a threesome freaky creepy piece of shit

Well what do you expect when you look like that,
And you dress like that, and do DIY in public!
Well just to be, left the fuck alone
Would that be so hard you shit head?!

Later that night we park the van
And get to sawing outside
It isn’t neat and it isn’t straight
Scrappy ska-punk DIY
But before we can finish
The dreaded happens
And we are spotted by a guy
Come over here and look at this lads
“There’s women doing DIY”?!

Well what do you expect when you look like that,
And you dress like that, and do DIY in public!
Well just to be, left the fuck alone
Would that be so hard you shit head?!

We finish up quick
and just as we hope
we might make it inside in time
Over comes another bloke
To see this DIY
But we’ve stepped outside our gender roles
And it’s too much of a trigger
He decides it’s time to assert control
With his head through the wing mirror

Oh Ashley what did you do that for?
What were you trying to prove?
You silly boy…
You grab your head,
Dazed and confused
You’ve gone and hurt yourself

Well what do you expect when you think like that
And when you act like that
I hope you wake up with a headache
Now just leave us
The fuck alone
Would that be so hard you shit head!?
