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
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)

Let it be stated:
rock music needs more harmonies,
keys, and wild beauty.
(Fortunately, this one has it all!)

Dirtbag Transformation: "What is this?" was my first reaction. But what an amazing song. It reminds me a bit of the Pixies in how it pulls together dissonance and then resolves. malfunction54
