Lyrics
Some people tell me that I’m crazy
Cos I do things that don’t fit in
With the rest of society
Like my love of small spaces
My room ‘aint too large
I just live in a box
Underneath the house
Off the corner of my garage
But the edge is where it’s at
And it’s easy to create
And my mama always said
If you’re not living on the edge
Then you’re taking up too much space
Been looking to settle down
Find some place nice
Where I can get my hand
On some marginal land
And turn it into paradise
The smaller the better
And I don’t care if it’s bad
I guess I’m the kind of fella
Who’ll always be a fringe dweller
Just do the best I can with what I have
Because the edge is where it’s at
And it’s the most productive place
And my mama always said
If you’re not living on the edge
Then you’re taking up too much space
I might wind up in the desert
With whipping wind and sun
Well, I’ll just plant a hedge and I’ll start my edge
And I’ll have sorted two things with one
Oh, but if the rain is a-falling
And washing everything away
I’ll just slow down that water with a convoluted border
And everything gonna be ok
Because the edge is where it’s at
I’m gonna work that interface
Cos my mama always said
If you’re not living on the edge
Then you’re taking up too much space
Yes she did
Make a pledge to acknowledge the edge
Grow some veg and stack it on a ledge
Wherever things come together
You’ll find it getting better
You’ll fall so in love with the edge
You’ll wanna write it a love letter
Just broaden your range at the place of exchange
You’ve got nothing to lose and everything to gain
Woah, there’s every single colour sitting between white and black
A well-beaten path ain’t always the right track
Because the edge is where it’s at
And we’re on the edge right now
Yeah we’re gonna see some change
See some things get rearranged
Moving on cos there’s no going back
I said the edge is where it’s at
And there’s no more time to waste
Cos my mama always said
If you’re not living on the edge
Then you’re taking up too much space
Yeah my mama always said
If you’re not living on the edge
Then you’re taking up too much space
