I'm going back to the future, each night when I dream
I'm standing on steeples, I'm on Flinders St
Yeah, I hear the Forum, the heat in the air
You could cut it like cake, from Brunetti's 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 to Revs 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, and 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 5 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, and I miss her
And I know, just where I want go on the way home
I wanna stand at Danny's Burgers in the cold
Oh just when you thought we were done
Melbourne's made a come-back
What I'd give to take you out for 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, and I miss her
