I left my heart to the sappers round Khe Sanh
6 6 -6 -6 -6 -6 6 -5 -5 6 6 6
And my soul was sold with my cigarettes to the

black market man

I`ve had the Viet-nam cold turkey from the ocean
6 6 -6 5 -4 4 -4 5 -5 5 -5 5 -5
to the silver city and it`s only other vets
5 4 -4 -4
could understand
6 6 -6 -6 -6 6 -5 -5 6 6 5
`Bout the long forgotten dockside guar-an-tees

How there were no V-day heroes in nineteen

How we sailed into Sydney harbour saw an old
6 6 6 -6 5 -4 4
friend but I couldn`t kiss her
-4 5 -5 5 -5 6 6-6 -6 -6 5 4 4
She was lined and I was home to the lucky land
6 6 -6 -6 -6 6 -5 -5 6 6 5
She was like so many more from that time on
6 -6 -6 -6 6 -5-5 6 6 6
Their lives were all so empty till they found
6 5 -4 -4
their chosen one
6 b-6 -6 -6 -6 6 -5-5 -5 6 6
And their legs were often open but their minds
6 5 -4 4
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
But the carparks made me jumpy
And I never stopped the dreams
Or the growing need for speed and novacaine
3.
So I worked across the country from end to end
Tried to find a place to settle down
Where my mixed up life could mend
Held a job on an oil-rig
Flying choppers when I could
But the night-life nearly drove me round the bend
4.
And I travelled 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
And the answer sure ain`t there
But I`m drifting north to check things out again
5.
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 someHong Kong mattress all night long
6.
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 going nowhere and I`m in a hurry
You know the last plane out if Sydney`s almost gone
