Melbourne - Slowly Slowly

I’m going back to future

Each night when I dream

I’m standing on steeples

I’m on Flinders Street

Yeah, I hear The Forum

The heat in the air

You could cut it like cake

From Brunettis I swear

Yeah, I wanna be here

When they end the fight

And the lights of my neighbours

Go out for the night

Their houses all empty

The sound of the streets

My new favourite song

I haven’t heard it in weeks

Take me down to Fitzroy, yeah

And teach me how to dance

And when we move on to Rev’s

Make sure that I’m sorry in advance

What I’d give

To take you out to dinner

It’s been a long year, but I’m sure

Melbourne’s gonna answer when I call

What I’d give to take you on a bender

Let the kinks all flatten out

Melbourne’s my town &I miss her

And I miss her, and I miss her

I’d love nothing more

Than to be standing behind

The pole at the corner

To be wrapped round a pint

For my shout at the bar

For my phone to just die

For Monday regret

An overpriced cab ride

To miss my tram

Pay five bucks for a coffee

Uncomfortable small talk

And wait like a zombie

In queues and in lines

Yeah, I’m in lockdown I’m longing

Melbourne, I’m sorry

Take me on a joyride yeah

Windows down to smell the flowers

I wanna see the 'G light up this year

And sit on Punt Road for an hour

What I’d give

To take you out to dinner

It’s been a long year, but I’m sure

Melbourne’s gonna answer when I call

What I’d give to take you on a bender

Let the kinks all flatten out

Melbourne’s my town &I miss her

And I know where I want go on the way home

I wanna stand at Danny’s burgers, in the cold

Just when you thought we were done

Melbourne’s made a comeback

What I’d give

To take you out to dinner

It’s been a long year, but I’m sure

Melbourne’s gonna answer when we call

What I’d give

To take you on a bender

Let the kinks all flatten out

Cause Melbourne’s my town &I miss her
