Khe Sahn(Long Tan Version) - John Schumann and The Vagabond Crew[00:00:00]

Written by：Don Walker[00:00:02]

I owe my life to choppers at Long Tan[00:00:21]

And I sold my soul[00:00:28]

My cigarettes to the black market man[00:00:29]

I've had the Vietnam cold turkey from the ocean to the silver city[00:00:34]

And it's only other vets could understand[00:00:41]

'Bout the long forgotten dockside guarantees[00:00:47]

How there were no V-day heroes in nineteen seventy three[00:00:54]

How we sailed into Sydney Harbour[00:01:00]

I saw an old friend but I couldn't kiss her[00:01:04]

She was lined and I was home to the lucky land[00:01:07]

She was like so many more that time on[00:01:14]

Their lives were all so empty until they'd found there chosen one[00:01:20]

And their legs were often open but their minds were always closed[00:01:27]

And their hearts were held in fast suburban chains[00:01:33]

And the legal pads were yellow hours long paypackets lean[00:01:40]

And the telex writers clattered where the gunships once had been[00:01:47]

The car parks made me jumpy and I never stopped the dreams[00:01:53]

Or the growing need for speed and novocaine[00:02:00]

I've traveled 'round the country from end to end[00:02:06]

I tried to find a place to settle down[00:02:13]

Where my mixed up life could mend[00:02:16]

Got a job on an oil-rig flyin' choppers when I could[00:02:19]

But the nightlife nearly drove me round the bend[00:02:26]

And I've traveled 'round the world from year to year[00:02:32]

And each one found me aimless one more year the worse for wear[00:02:39]

And I've been back to South East Asia you know the answer sure ain't there[00:02:46]

But I'm driftin' north to check things out again[00:02:52]

Well the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone[00:03:25]

And only seven flyin' hours[00:03:32]

I'll be landin' in Hong Kong[00:03:35]

And there ain't nothin' like the kisses from a jaded Chinese princess[00:03:38]

I'm gonna hit some Hong Kong mattress all night long[00:03:45]

And the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone[00:03:51]

The last plane out of Sydney's almost gone[00:03:58]

You know it's really got me worries[00:04:04]

I'm going nowhere and I'm in a hurry[00:04:08]

You know the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone[00:04:11]
