Testo Khe Sanh - 2011 Remastered - Cold Chisel

Testo della canzone Khe Sanh - 2011 Remastered (Cold Chisel), tratta dall'album Feel Good Classics

I left my heart to the sappers 'round Khe Sanh

And my soul was sold with my cigarettes to the black-market man

I had the Vietnam cold turkey from the ocean to the Silver City

And it's only other vets could understand

About the long-forgotten dockside guarantees

How there were no V-day heroes in 1973

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 from that time on

Their lives were all so empty, until they found their 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, pay packets lean

And the telex writers clattered where the gunships once had been

Car parks make me jumpy, and I never stopped the dreams

Or the growing need for speed and Novocaine

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

I held a job on an oil-rig, flying choppers when I could

But the nightlife nearly drove me 'round the bend

And I've 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

Yes, I am

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 some Hong Kong mattress all night long

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 goin' nowhere, and I'm in a hurry

You know the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone

Well, the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone

You know the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone

Lo, it's really got me worried, I'm goin' nowhere, and I'm in a hurry

You know the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone
