《Khe Sanh(Long Tan Version)》歌词

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

[00:00:02] Written by：Don Walker

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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