about

A blues-tinged acoustic song inspired by a Mae West quote, "A clean house is a sign of a wasted life". With a collaboration with songstress Wendy Ford the song is about the loneliness of being the responsible one who cleans up after everyone else and is always under-appreciated.
We also pay our respects to the landscape of the Northern Rivers NSW, our home, and the incredible community who have endured unbelievable flooding events this year.

lyrics

CLEAN HOUSE

VERSE
No dirt on the window
Is that why you’re staring out
Don’t care what our life looks like
From the inside
Tell me what’s that about
I’m picking up things off our floor
None of them mine
They’re all yours
Seems like I’ve done this forever
But whose keeping score

CHORUS
Because a clean house
Is a sign of a wasted life
And I’ve wasted my whole life with you
They say a clean house
Is a sign of a wasted life
And I’ve been so wasted, wasted on you

VERSE
No dirt on our front door
Nobody’s looking in
Looks like we’re happy from outside, cause they see
You taking out the bin
I’m cleaning your things in a rage
Replaying the words that you said
Promised I’d love you til old age
But I’ll strip our bed

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
You tried to get the dirt on me
But there’s no dirt here

VERSE
No dirt on the table
Nobody’s eating-in
I’ll take control of my life, when I’m done here
I said that last year
You don’t notice where I have been
I hate you most when I clean
You want our house spotless but don’t care
That I’m on the floor

CHORUS

AND I’VE BEEN SO WASTED

Hi, I’m Megan Albany and I am so proud of The Very Last List of Vivian Walker and am very excited to invite you into Viv’s world. She’s a fantastic character but sometimes even the best words are not enough. I am not sure if the book inspired the music or the music inspired the book. Either way, the soundtrack will deepen your dive into the beautifully dysfunctional life of Vivian Walker. ... more
