Melbourne Songtext
von Howling Bells

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
