《I Was Only 19(triple j Like A Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] I Was Only 19 (我只有19岁) (triple j Like A Version) - The Herd

[00:00:08] Producer：The Herd

[00:00:17] Yep check

[00:00:20] Mum dad and Denny were some amongst many

[00:00:23] Who came to watch the passing out parade at Puckapunyal

[00:00:26] Seemed every man and his mongrel came to watch cadets stumble

[00:00:28] On the long march to the Viet jungle

[00:00:31] Oh Christ I mumbled as I drew that card

[00:00:33] And my mates came to slap me on the back with due regard

[00:00:36] We were the sixth battalion yep next to tour

[00:00:38] We did Canungra and Shoalwater before we left rest assured

[00:00:42] Seemed half of Townsville turned out to see us leave

[00:00:45] And they lined the footpaths as we marched to the quay

[00:00:47] And the papers wrote it up like you wouldn't believe

[00:00:49] But we were only looking to the future for fast reprieve

[00:00:52] And there's all of us looking young strong and clean

[00:00:55] Rocking slouch hats slung SLRs and greens

[00:00:57] God help me I was only nineteen

[00:01:08] From Vung Tau in black helicopters

[00:01:10] Chinook pilots seemed relieved at Nui Dat when he dropped us

[00:01:13] Seems like months running on and off landing pads

[00:01:15] Letters to dad cause it's like man he's sad

[00:01:18] But he can't see the tents that we call home

[00:01:20] Cans of VB and pin ups of chicks off TV

[00:01:23] The heat the mosquitoes and the noise surprising

[00:01:25] Like the first time you see an agent orange horizon

[00:01:28] So please can you tell me doctor why you can't get to sleep

[00:01:32] The scars left in me

[00:01:33] Night time's just a jungle dark and a barking M16

[00:01:37] We keep saying rest in peace

[00:01:38] What's this rash that comes and goes

[00:01:41] Don't suppose you can tell me what that means

[00:01:43] God help me I was only nineteen

[00:01:54] Sent off on a four week long operation

[00:01:56] Where every single step could be your last one

[00:01:59] On two legs it was sorta living hell

[00:02:01] Falling with the shells war within yourself

[00:02:04] But you couldn't let your mates down 'til they had you dusted off

[00:02:07] So you closed your eyes and thought of something else

[00:02:09] Someone yelled contact another bloke swore

[00:02:11] We hooked in for hours then a god almighty roar

[00:02:14] Then Frankie kicked a mine the day that mankind kicked the moon

[00:02:19] God help me he was going home in June

[00:02:39] And I can still see Frank with a can in his hand

[00:02:42] Thirty six hour leave in the bar at the Grand

[00:02:44] And I can still hear Frank a screaming mess

[00:02:47] Of bleeding flesh couldn't retrieve his legs

[00:02:50] You see the anzac legend neglected to mention

[00:02:52] Mud the fear the blood the tears the tension

[00:02:55] Dad's recollection beyond comprehension

[00:02:57] Didn't seem quite real until we were sent in

[00:03:00] Chaos and confusion the fire and steel

[00:03:02] Hot shrapnel in my back I didn't even feel

[00:03:05] God help me I was only nineteen

[00:03:15] So please can you tell me doctor why I can't get to sleep

[00:03:19] I can't hardly eat

[00:03:20] And the sound of the Channel Seven chopper still chills me to my feet

[00:03:24] Still fuels my grief

[00:03:25] And what's this rash that comes and goes

[00:03:28] Like the dreams can you tell me what that means

[00:03:30] God help me I was only nineteen

[00:03:41] Mum and dad and Denny saw the passing out parade at Puckapunyal

[00:03:47] It was a long march from Cadets

[00:03:51] And the sixth battalion was the next to tour

[00:03:53] It was me who drew the card

[00:03:55] We did Canungra and Shoalwater before we left

[00:04:01] So please can you tell me doctor why I can't get to sleep

[00:04:05] I can't hardly eat

[00:04:06] And the sound of the Channel seven chopper still chills me to my feet

[00:04:10] Still fuels my grief

[00:04:11] And what's this rash that comes and goes

[00:04:14] Like the dreams can you tell me what that means

[00:04:16] God help me I was only nineteen
