The Whitlams - Melbourne (Official Video)
'Melbourne' released 1997, from the album Eternal Nightcap, remixed for Truth Beauty and a Picture of You.
The title of the album “Eternal Nightcap” was my mundane version of Nietzsche's
philosophy of eternal return. It would be hell drinking to someone forever if you didn't like
them, or didn't like a drink. It reeks of saying goodbye and doing it drunk. The perfect title
for the album I still think. In this song when I sing “If I had three lives I'd marry her in two”
I'm thinking of the same ideas.
The verse chords and melody came in an encore jam at the Hoey Moey in Coffs Harbour a
few years before. It's a love song of course, about a kooky girl. All true, except the pictures
on the wall were actually pinned to the wall and they were maps of the neighbourhood
streets defined by types of tree - for the dog, who was no better at reading maps than any
average dog is.

LYRICS
She paints pictures on the wall
She eats all of the garden
And has an aversion to conviction
She calls her dog “the bear”
In love with this girl
And with her town as well
Walking ‘round the rainy city
What a pity there’s things to do at home
She paints pictures on the wall
I awake to see the feelings from the night before
She eats all of the garden, it’s a jungle out there
And we won’t return by dawn
If I had three lives
I’d marry her in two
I’m dreaming of a time
That we sit when the music stops
She has an aversion to conviction
She’s more confused than ever
Won’t pay her fines and wonders when the cops will get her
She calls her dog “the bear”
And walks me with him to the corner
In her pyjamas
