Khe Sanh (Long Tan Version) - John Schumann and The Vagabond Crew/Don Walker
Written by：Don Walker
I owe my life to choppers at Long Tan
And I sold my soul
My cigarettes to the black market man
I've had the Vietnam cold turkey from the ocean to the silver city
And it's only other vets could understand
'Bout the long forgotten dockside guarantees
How there were no V-day heroes in nineteen seventy three
How we sailed into Sydney Harbour
I saw an old friend but I couldn't kiss her
She was lined and I was home to the lucky land
She was like so many more that time on
Their lives were all so empty until they'd found there 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 paypackets 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
I've traveled 'round the country from end to end
I tried to find a place to settle down
Where my mixed up life could mend
Got a job on an oil-rig flyin' choppers when I could
But the nightlife nearly drove me round the bend
And I've traveled 'round the world from year to year
And each one found me aimless one more year the worse for wear
And I've been back to South East Asia you know the answer sure ain't there
But I'm driftin' north to check things out again
Well the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone
And only seven flyin' hours
I'll be landin' in Hong Kong
And there ain't nothin' like the kisses from a jaded Chinese princess
I'm gonna hit some Hong Kong mattress all night long
And the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone
The last plane out of Sydney's almost gone
You know it's really got me worries
I'm going nowhere and I'm in a hurry
You know the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone
