The Pixies' alt rock stylings provide the medium through which to express the rage and lamentation that in equal measure attend the experience of a missed bin collection...

lyrics
Outside there’s a green box waiting
Out by the familly domicile
It’s full of dry recycling
And it’s been sat there for a while
I know the service schedule
The missed collection policy
Out by the kerbisde waiting
Take it away and recycle it please
There is a wait so long
You shouldn’t wait so long
CHORUS:
Where’s your bin man?
Big wait for the kerbside sorter
Big wait and the rain starts falling down
There’s a wind makes the waste start blowing
A big, big mess, litter strewn around
There is a wait so long
You shouldn’t wait so long
CHORUS
