Look at this junk
It's such a mess
It's no surprise that it causes me stress
Wouldn't you think he would stop
Once he had everything?
Look at this room
Feels like a tomb
You'd think the guy's never heard of a broom
Looking around here you'd think
Wow, he collects...everything
He's got comics and consoles a-plenty
Doctor Who stuff, it covers the floor
Creepy action figures?
There's so many
And this house
Stuffed so full but
He wants more
Wants a TV that's as big as a car
To hook up a game where he flails about dancin'
Jumping around with the - what do call it?
Oh - Wii!
Invites all these friends who are quite bizarre
Going around quoting, yelling, ranting
Playing some game called - what's that stupid thing?
D&D
Up until dawn, they call this fun?
Day after day without seeing the sun
So I found out, there is no doubt
My partner's a nerd
Oh I have cried, "Let's go outside, we could go biking!"
A walk in the park before it was dark, that would be grand
When you are done that Star Trek rerun
There's a trail I have found for hiking
Up before noon, we could go soon
Just take my hand!
He grunts and he nods but still plays his game
Ask him my questions but get no answers
What's otaku and why does he - what's the word?
Cosplay?
All night and day
Wouldn't I love to understand the things he speaks of
And what's more you see
He's ADHD
My partner's a nerd

This album is a lot of fun with covers of an already heterogenous work by a group of artists with quite different musical styles. It's actually what I can thank for getting me back into TMBG. Pick it up and support charity! Eliot Lash
