	Story Behind the Song This song was inspired by the Dar Williams song "Southern California Wants to be Western New York". It is also a brief common on the frustration some Melbournians feel at not being a major player on the world stage.For anyone who doesn't know Melbourne it is a sleepy city just before the ice cap. Lyrics Melbourne Yearnings words by Mark O'Meara capo on 2nd fret, G C9 G G, C C D Em Smith Street wishes it was Lygon Brunswick Street wants it much more Even Lygon Street wants to be just like it was before Monash says it doesn't care but no-one believes a word Melbourne just sits and yearns to be Cambridge or Oxford Crown wishes it was Las Vegas Ron wishes he was Moe Green The Yarra wishes it was the Thames we dream what we could have been Do Paris roads have Melbourne ends Does Sydney dream that it's Prahran Does Giuliani want to be Jeff do they all feel like also rans? Nero sat there with his fiddle while his favourite Rome did burn I'll sit here with my guitar while my home town Melbourne yearns
