The Jane Austen Argument - Here In Melbourne lyrics
Your rating:
I wake with your hand on my shoulder It's colder outside where they don't know we're naked And all of your friends leave messages That suggest we should not be doing what we're doing But we do not care and where there is air we'll be breathing Believe me, where there's warmth we'll share And why are you not in Melbourne? It's colder here, you know And the stars are obscured by the sky And why are you not Melbourne? There's art in the streets Put your feet somewhere close to my floor And why Are you Not in Melbourne? Under the house of someone I once slept with We wept on the inside; the outside kept talking Cos we knew we'd fit together like continents In the eyes of children who've just learned geography And you had a lover And I had a ticket We wickedly took off with the few hours left to us And still you're not here in Melbourne It's colder here, you know And the stars aren't are obscured by the sky And why are you still not in Melbourne? There's art in the streets Put your feet somewhere close to my floor And why Are you still Not in Melbourne? I caught you peeking When you thought I'd be sleeping We caught not a wink For the heat we were breathing No, there was no rest But at least we weren't arrested For teaching the children of the birds and bees (and the bees and bees) But I wish you had turned when I had turned back I'd turn back the clocks if I thought we could stay still long enough So maybe it's good You're not here in Melbourne It's colder here, you see And the stars aren't as bright as you'd like But still, there's a place for you in Melbourne My heart's on my sleeve Wish your feet would come darken my door You You and me I mean, we Could both be Here in Melbourne Here in Melbourne Here in Melbourne
