Melbourne Song

( Colin Hay )

I think I’ll head up north again
Maybe get back when
The weather’s fine
And you are mine
And you will be like the gentle breeze
And we will live at ease

I’ve never been out west you know
But I might go there
Just to share
A drink or two
With some friends I knew
It’s you that I love
I can’t get enough
And I’ll get back to you
If you want me to

I’ve never been to Mexico
But I might just buy a sombrero
Get up and go
Lie around in the sun till evening comes
And we’ll cruise into town
And throw tequilas down

I think I’ll buy a panel van head up the coast
Maybe get a tan
Get stuck behind a caravan
The land was stripped bare
Just nothin’ there so we headed down
Back to Melbourne town

Said I don’t know why
I don’t know why I always stay here
It’s you that I love
I can’t get enough
And I’ll get back to you
If you want me to
