Melbourne (Mel-bin)

Walk all you want

Wear a smart coat on the outside

Pretension of meaning

Hides underneath it a complete lack of feeling

Swallow your feelings

Deny your lover

Don’t look them in the eye

For they might uncover you

Reveal you to Mr TrueLove

Smoke all you want

You will never die

The taxes are too high

Drink all the coffee you can

Better be quick the well is gonna run dry

Like the river and Jack the Ripper

The criminals will come to cry

The old stories we tell ourselves

Might all just be lies
