Melbourne

I'm going back to Melbourne 'Cause there's something in the water there The scorchin' heat come January Winters hit, nobody cares I'm going back to Melbourne I miss the smell of eucalyptus trees And everybody's in a band Sound a bit like The Dirty Three I'm going back to Melbourne But my house is now a hip café And all the sidewalks have been cleaned up Everybody's moved away So I went back a year ago I felt nostalgia in my bones Took a seat on Greville Street When I got the call from home Now I'm stuck in Melbourne With a suitcase and a heavy heart Who knows if I'll return again? Perhaps we're meant to be apart Thinking all about the place Where I was born, I could have stayed Where all the sidewalks have been cleaned up Everybody's moved away
