《Khe Sanh》歌词

[00:00:00] Khe Sanh - Union Of Sound

[00:00:08] I left my heart to the sappers round Khe Sanh

[00:00:13] And my soul was sold with my cigarettes

[00:00:16] To the blackmarket man

[00:00:19] I've had the Vietnam cold turkey

[00:00:22] From the ocean to the Silver City

[00:00:24] And it's only other vets could understand

[00:00:30] About the long forgotten dockside guarantees

[00:00:36] How there were no V-day heroes in 1973

[00:00:42] How we sailed into Sydney Harbour

[00:00:45] I saw an old friend but couldn't kiss her

[00:00:48] And she was lined

[00:00:49] And I was home to a lucky land

[00:00:53] She was like so many more from that time on

[00:00:59] Their lives were all so empty

[00:01:02] Until they found their chosen one

[00:01:05] And their legs were often open

[00:01:08] But their minds were always closed

[00:01:11] And their hearts were held

[00:01:12] In fast suburban chains

[00:01:16] And the legal pads were yellow

[00:01:19] Hours long paypacket lean

[00:01:22] And the telex writers clattered

[00:01:25] Where the gunships once had been

[00:01:28] But the car parks made me jumpy

[00:01:31] And I never stopped the dreams

[00:01:34] Or the growing need for speed and novacaine

[00:01:40] So I worked across the country

[00:01:42] From end to end

[00:01:45] Tried to find a place to settle down

[00:01:48] Where my mixed up life could mend

[00:01:51] Held a job on an oil-rig

[00:01:54] Flying choppers when I could

[00:01:57] But the nightlife nearly drove me

[00:02:00] Round the bend

[00:02:03] And I've travelled round the world

[00:02:05] From year to year

[00:02:09] And each one found me aimless

[00:02:11] One more year the worse for wear

[00:02:14] And I've been back to South East Asia

[00:02:17] You know the answer sure ain't there

[00:02:20] But I'm drifting north

[00:02:22] To check things out again

[00:02:49] You know the last plane out of

[00:02:51] Sydney's almost gone

[00:02:55] Only seven flying hours

[00:02:57] And I'll be landing in Hong Kong

[00:03:01] There ain't nothing like the kisses

[00:03:04] From a jaded Chinese princess

[00:03:06] I'm gonna hit some Hong Kong

[00:03:08] Mattress all night long

[00:03:12] Well the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone

[00:03:18] Yeah the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone

[00:03:24] And it's really got me worried

[00:03:27] I'm goin' nowhere and I'm in a hurry

[00:03:30] And the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone

[00:03:35] And the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone

[00:03:40] Yeah the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone

[00:03:47] And it's really got me worried

[00:03:50] I'm goin' nowhere and I'm in a hurry

[00:03:53] You know the last plane out of

[00:03:54] Sydney's almost gone
