Melbourne's On Fire

Got my first taste just last year Walked into the bar, all my friends didn't know I was coming Dragged onto the corner stage Singing about a Sunday although it was a Wednesday But I fell for the scene all the same Those few minutes caught their eyes My name's in the book, I got three chances to show them something Finished off the first few tunes And as the evening wrapped up I knew I had stacked up It's the start of something big Can you hear the sound Melbourne's on fire and it's gonna be fun now Shaking up the underground And just for you I'm gonna sing it one more time now Can you hear the sound Melbourne's on fire and it's gonna be fun now Shaking up the underground 'Cause I'm about to throw it down Every time I come around The music calls my name, the dusty lights just pull me deeper Summer, winter, rain or shine A phoenix from the ashes, playing for the masses City bound metro, here we go Evening sessions at the beach Late nights at the pub, I've got the keys to bring the house down It's a different world I'm in And even if you said so I won't ever let go This is where I've found my home Can you hear the sound Melbourne's on fire and it's gonna be fun now Shaking up the underground And just for you I'm gonna sing it one more time now Can you hear the sound Melbourne's on fire and it's gonna be fun now Shaking up the underground 'Cause I'm about to throw it down Alright, just let me get my head straight and lose some dead weight I need to shed fate like throwing up lead paint That brings a dead-end state just like your girlfriend ain't Becoming your bedmate when you've been on ten dates 'Cause I'm on a mission, a man with a vision Not asking permission, I've made the decision To play the tactician of lyric precision In a war of tradition versus style collision The industry fat cats will not make me backtrack I won't mess with that crap, I'm just gonna stand pat You can't ever snap at me with a big rat trap You won't see me catnapping under my flat cap So as I get set up and my flow develops I'll never get fed up of getting to step up A medical checkup won't cure this ill flare up So it's time to get up, tell me Can you hear the sound Melbourne's on fire and it's gonna be fun now Shaking up the underground And just for you I'm gonna sing it one more time now Can you hear the sound Melbourne's on fire and it's gonna be fun now Shaking up the underground 'Cause I'm about to throw it down
