Safe Behind The Wire - John Schumann and The Vagabond Crew[00:00:00]

Written by：John Schumann[00:00:02]

When the bodies were bagged and the telegrams sent[00:00:10]

And the very last chopper had goneâ[00:00:14]

And you looked out the window of the 707 on the airfield in Saigonâ[00:00:17]

Some of us thought that the war was over some of us couldn't care less[00:00:25]

But you came home and threw a stay behind party to try[00:00:32]

To clear up the mess[00:00:36]

And I don't know where you are tonight[00:00:41]

I'm down here in a fire fightâ[00:00:45]

But wherever you are I hope you're safe behind the wire[00:00:48]

We were fighting for freedom in South East Asia[00:00:55]

That's how the story ranâ[00:00:59]

Windy speeches about a domino falling from China into Vietnam[00:01:03]

But look back in sickness and anger[00:01:10]

Australia didn't honor her debt[00:01:13]

And non-commissioned officer Thompson learned that the war wasn't over yet[00:01:17]

Living on your nerves living on the phone[00:01:26]

Sleeping in airports far from homeâ[00:01:29]

Dusted off now and safe behind the wire[00:01:33]

Well he gave and he gave[00:01:54]

And he kept on giving till he just couldn't give anymore[00:01:56]

And he gave it away one morning in Sydney in a rust red Commodoreâ[00:02:02]

And I remember Phill best talking on the phone[00:02:11]

With a cheeky grin on his face[00:02:14]

'Cause Royal Commissioners and Knights of the Realm[00:02:18]

Thought that Phill didn't know his place[00:02:21]

And I don't know where you are tonight[00:02:27]

I'm down here in a fire fightâ[00:02:30]

Wherever you are I hope you're safe behind the wire[00:02:34]

And they're still bagging bodies Phill though fourteen years have gone[00:02:41]

And the mums and the dads and the wives[00:02:48]

And the kids still have to soldier on[00:02:50]

And I don't know where you are tonight[00:02:57]

I'm down here in a fire fightâ[00:03:01]

Wherever you are I hope you're safe behind the wire[00:03:04]

And I don't know where you are tonight[00:03:12]

I'm down here in a fire fightâ[00:03:15]

Wherever you are I hope you're safe behind the wire[00:03:19]
