about

Temporary Solution is a punchy song that addresses living through climate change and our collective exasperation at the lack of action, through the allegory of iced tea during a heatwave. It was primarily written during the black summer where Melbourne was clogged with smoke from the nearby fires and is, therefore, a desperate yet comedic cry for meaningful change and not just short term solutions.

lyrics

Going down to my local IGA
I feel the sweat dripping down my back
I shouldn’t have worn jeans today
It’s thirty-eight degrees outside

I feel ecstasy when I feel air conditioning
I feel like dancing it’s so cool
I feel like dancing to the cheesy 80s music
Thats playing in the, playing in the, playing in the

I-G-A
I-G-A
I-G-A
I-G-A

They’re not doing anything about the heat
And now I can’t see ‘til the end of my street
Maybe the government should pay for my iced tea
(Gimme gimme, gimme gimme iced tea)

It’s a temporary solution
To the amount of air pollution
You get about twenty minutes of pleasure
For me and my band, me and my band, me and my band

I-G-A
I-G-A
I-G-A
I-G-A

Gimme gimme, gimme gimme iced tea
Gimme gimme, gimme gimme iced tea
Gimme gimme, gimme gimme iced tea
Gimme gimme, gimme gimme iced tea
Gimme gimme, gimme gimme iced tea
Gimme gimme, gimme gimme iced tea
Gimme gimme, gimme gimme iced tea
Gimme gimme, gimme gimme iced tea

It’s a temporary, temporary solution
(Gimme gimme, gimme gimme iced tea)
Yeah it’s a temporary, temporary solution
(Gimme gimme, gimme gimme iced tea)
Not a good time, not a good time to be human
(Gimme gimme, gimme gimme iced tea)
It’s all just a temporary, temporary solution
(Gimme gimme, gimme gimme iced tea)
