Song by Paul Kelly with Monique Brumby<br /><br>

At the back of my grandmother's house there was a hill<br>

With a tangled garden thick and wild<br>

We used to go there, you and I, as children<br>

Slipping away from the aunts and uncles and their home made brew <br>

<br>

We carried our ice creams in the Summer sun<br>

Trying to make them last as long as we could<br>

Pretty soon they started to run<br>

Dripping down our arms, dripping on the ground<br>

Melting <br>

<br>

We sat under the trees smoking bark<br>

Lighting little fires and stompin' each one out<br>

As the Summer went on the flames grew higher<br>

We just stared and stared and stared at everything melting<br>

Melting <br>

<br>

At the back of my grandmother's house there was a hill<br>

Black and smoking at the end of the day<br>

We watched the fire trucks go back on down the road<br>

We heard them calling out our names<br>

We were standing in the shadows, melting<br>

Melting, melting <br>

<br>

Now my grandmother's house is a supermarket<br>

And I'm far away, living in a colder city<br>

And tonight I've pulled the top off a bottle of beer<br>

And I've lit a fire and I'm staring, staring<br>

Where are you, where are you now?<br>

You're melting, we're all melting, melting, melting, melting<br>

<br>
