Paroles Khe Sanh

Paroles de la chanson Khe Sanh :
I left my heart to the sappers round Khe Sanh


And I sold my soul with my cigarettes to the blackmarket 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


Saw an old friend but 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, 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, paypacket lean


And the telex writers clattered where the gunships once had been


And car parks make me jumpy


And I never stopped the dreams


Or the growing need for speed and novacaine



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


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


Each one found me aimless, one more year the worst 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



Well the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone


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 Sydneyc
