I left my heart

to the sappers
round Khe Sanh

And my soul was sold
with my cigarettes

to the
hlackmarket man

I've 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

And 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

And she was like

so many more
from that time on

Their lives were
all so empty

till they found
their chosen one

And their hearts

were held
in fast suburban chains

And the legal pads
were yellow

hours long
paypacket lean

And the telex writers
clattered where the

gunships
once had been

And the car parks
made me jumpy

and I never stopped
the dreams

So I worked across

the country
from end to end

I tried to find a place
to settle down

where my mixed up life
could mend

I held a job
on an oiI-rig

flying choppers
when I could

But the night life

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

you know the answer
sure ain't there

But I'm drifting north

to check things out again

INSTRUMENTAL
27 SECONDS

Well the last plane

out of Sydney's
almost gone

In only seven flying hours

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

Well the last plane
out of Sydney's

almost gone
hey yeah

You know the last plane

out of Sydney's
almost gone

I'm goin' nowhere

and I'm in a hurry

You know the last plane

out of Sydney's
almost gone...
