==Lyrics==
:Back to mine, back to mine, I'm going back to mine
:Back to mine, back to mine, I'm going back to mine
:Back to mine, back to mine, I'm going back to mine
:Back to mine, back to mine
:At clock off time I'm going back to mine
:Back to mine, back to mine, I'm going back to mine
:Back to mine, back to mine, I'm going back to mine
:Back to mine, back to mine, I'm going back to mine
:Back to mine, back to mine, I'm going back to mine
:At clock off time, where you gonna find me? Going back to mine
:Let me tell you why I'm going back to mine
:Because that's my comfort zone.
:Don't you love that phrase?
:"I'm going to push you around and if you complain,
:That's just you not wanting to get out of your comfort zone."
:From the environment's inexorable revenge
:To the multiplying cells in your body
:Everything in this technicolour universe is already conspiring
:To take you out of your comfort zone.
:So I'm making it my life's work to spend as much time as possible back in it
:And the next time someone tries that phrase on you
:Well you know maybe you could take them out of theirs?
:Back to mine, back to mine, I'm going back to mine
:Back to mine, back to mine, I'm going back to mine
:Back to a time when "comfortable" was not a crime.
:Whatever may be your cup of tea, its fine by me.
:Like watching re-runs of MacGyver underneath your favourite rug,
:Playing with your collection of commemorative mugs,
:Tinkering out in your shed with that car that never runs,
:Or when your partner leaves you, running home to mum
:Wearing Ugg boots round the house,
:Playing Bon Jovi really loud,
:Reading books that aren't allowed
:By the "Oh, its so hard to find good coffee" crowd
:Back to mine, back to mine, back to mine, I'm going back to mine
:Back to mine, back to mine, I'm going back to mine
:Back to mine, back to mine, I'm going back to mine
:Back to mine, back to mine, I'm going back to mine
:I'm going, going, going, gone!
:Ten kinds of birds singing in the trees
:Morning cup of tea
:Favourite pair of jeans
:And I'm going back to mine
:Got this old trannie blaring out footy.The term "trannie" here is a reference to a transistor radio, colloquially referred to in Australia as "trannies" during the peak of their popularity in the 1960s and 1970s, years prior to the term's adoption as a pejorative slur referring to transgender people. In October 2024, Fandom staff amended this article to censor the word as a transphobic slur (which would have been a violation of Fandom's terms of service), despite the fact the line clearly makes no sense in that context: unlike transistor radios, transgender people are not commonly known to "blare out footy".
:Doing household stuff kinda leisurely.
:And I'm going back to mine.
:Kids in their doonas tucked up nice.
:Log fire's warm and the beer's on ice.
:And I'm going back to mine.
:Back to mine, back to mine, I'm going back to mine
:Back to mine, back to mine, I'm going... back to mine
:Back to mine, back to mine, I'm going back to mine
