Khe Sanh - Union Of Sound[00:00:00]

I left my heart to the sappers round Khe Sanh[00:00:08]

And my soul was sold with my cigarettes[00:00:13]

To the blackmarket man[00:00:16]

I've had the Vietnam cold turkey[00:00:19]

From the ocean to the Silver City[00:00:22]

And it's only other vets could understand[00:00:24]

About the long forgotten dockside guarantees[00:00:30]

How there were no V-day heroes in 1973[00:00:36]

How we sailed into Sydney Harbour[00:00:42]

I saw an old friend but couldn't kiss her[00:00:45]

And she was lined [00:00:48]

And I was home to a lucky land[00:00:49]

She was like so many more from that time on[00:00:53]

Their lives were all so empty [00:00:59]

Until they found their chosen one[00:01:02]

And their legs were often open[00:01:05]

But their minds were always closed[00:01:08]

And their hearts were held[00:01:11]

In fast suburban chains[00:01:12]

And the legal pads were yellow [00:01:16]

Hours long paypacket lean[00:01:19]

And the telex writers clattered[00:01:22]

Where the gunships once had been[00:01:25]

But the car parks made me jumpy[00:01:28]

And I never stopped the dreams[00:01:31]

Or the growing need for speed and novacaine[00:01:34]

So I worked across the country[00:01:40]

From end to end[00:01:42]

Tried to find a place to settle down [00:01:45]

Where my mixed up life could mend[00:01:48]

Held a job on an oil-rig[00:01:51]

Flying choppers when I could[00:01:54]

But the nightlife nearly drove me[00:01:57]

Round the bend[00:02:00]

And I've travelled round the world[00:02:03]

From year to year[00:02:05]

And each one found me aimless [00:02:09]

One more year the worse for wear[00:02:11]

And I've been back to South East Asia[00:02:14]

You know the answer sure ain't there[00:02:17]

But I'm drifting north [00:02:20]

To check things out again[00:02:22]

You know the last plane out of[00:02:49]

Sydney's almost gone[00:02:51]

Only seven flying hours [00:02:55]

And I'll be landing in Hong Kong[00:02:57]

There ain't nothing like the kisses[00:03:01]

From a jaded Chinese princess[00:03:04]

I'm gonna hit some Hong Kong[00:03:06]

Mattress all night long[00:03:08]

Well the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone[00:03:12]

Yeah the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone[00:03:18]

And it's really got me worried[00:03:24]

I'm goin' nowhere and I'm in a hurry[00:03:27]

And the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone[00:03:30]

And the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone[00:03:35]

Yeah the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone[00:03:40]

And it's really got me worried[00:03:47]

I'm goin' nowhere and I'm in a hurry[00:03:50]

You know the last plane out of[00:03:53]

Sydney's almost gone[00:03:54]
