about
Putting the party back into permaculture, WA producer, Mr. Moon’s remix of Formidable Veg's hallmark song about reducing waste is full of fun, bouncy grooves with a chorus that’ll be stuck in your head for months (which is kind of the point)!
lyrics
When I was a little boy, I liked to catch the rain
while people all around my town watched it flow right down the drain
But because our little shed in the bush wasn’t on the mains
the only water we had to use was in a tank caught from the rain
Cos there’s no such thing as waste
Only stuff in the wrong place
There’s no such thing as waste
Misusing water’s a disgrace
Moved to the city, rented a house, on my way to buy a bed
Saw one lying on the side of the road so I took that one instead
I also found a fridge, a couch and a big old plasma screen
in the biggest pile of thrown out stuff that I had ever seen
But there’s no such thing as waste
Only stuff in the wrong place
Yeah, there’s no such thing as waste
That old landfill is a disgrace
Down the track, I found out that diesel cars can run on veggie fat
Bought a truck and hit the road, smelling like fish & chips
I rescued piles of wasted oil from the back of restaurants
I’d be a fool if I bought my fuel when there’s oil nobody wants
There’s no such thing as waste
Only stuff in the wrong place
No, there’s no such thing as waste
That old idea’s got to be replaced
Now we gotta refuse, reduce, reuse, repair, recycle
Refuse, reduce, reuse, repair, recycle
Now I get my things out of garbage bins, I compost every crumb
I save my seeds and eat my weeds and feed the leftovers to ya mum
Gonna build a house from the rubbish tip, gonna keep this planet clean
Reuse ideas that have been round for years to live within its means
There’s no such thing as waste, woah no
Only stuff in the wrong place, scooba doo beeooden dip
I said there’s no such thing as waste, yeah
Only opportunity to be embraced

Simon Posford is a wizard, and his music is the cream of the crop in terms of providing the most return on your invested attention. the more closely you listen, the more richly you are rewarded. there are so many layers, so many twists and turns; it's not just an album, it's a journey through a world of sound. this is music that is truly unique, cutting edge, beautiful, psychedelic, complex, and unlike anything else on earth. mcgtunes
