Khe Sanh

In the style of

Cold Chisel

feat.

Jimmy Barnes

Lyrics

i left my heart to
the sappers round khe sanh

and my soul was sold
with my cigarettes

to the blackmarket man

i've had
the vietnam cold turkey

from the ocean
to the silver city

and it's only other

vets could understand

about the long forgotten

dockside guarantees

how there were
no v-dayheroes

in ninetee seventy-three

how we sailed into
sydney harbour

i saw an old friend
but i couldn't kiss her

and she was lined and i was

home to the lucky land

she was like so many more

from that time on

their lives were all so empty
until they found

their chosen one

and their legs were often open
but their minds

were always closed

and their hearts were held

in fast suburban chains

and the legal pads were yellow

hours long, paypacket lean

and the telex writers clattered
where the gunships

once had been

the car parks made me jumpy
and i never

stopped the dreams

or the growing need

for speed and novocaine

so i worked across

the country from end to end

i tried to find
a place to settle down

where my mixed up
life could mend

i held a job on an oil-rig
flying choppers when i could

but the nightlife nearly
drove me round the bend

and i've travelled round

the world from year to year

and each one
found me aimless

one more year
the more for wear

and i've been back
to south east asia

you know the answer
sure ain't there

but i'm drifting north

to check things out again

well the last plane out
of sydney's almost gone

and only seven flying hours
and i'll be landing

in hong kong

and there ain't nothing
like the kisses

from a jaded chinese princess

i'm gonna hit some hong kong

mattress all night long

well the last plane out
of sydney's almost gone

you know the last plane out
of sydney's almost gone

and it's really
got me worried

i'm goin' nowhere
and i'm in a hurry

you know the last plane out

of sydney's almost gone

well the last plane out

of sydney's almost gone

yeah, you know
the last plane out

of sydney's almost gone

yeah, it's really
got me worried

i'm goin' nowhere
and i'm in a hurry

you know the last plane out

of sydney's almost gone
