The Jane Austen Argument - Here In Melbourne lyrics

rate me

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
