Lyrics Khe Sanh - Live - Cold Chisel
I
left
my
heart
to
the
sappers
'round
Khe
Sanh
And
I
sold
my
soul
with
my
cigarettes
to
the
blackmarket
man
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
way
back
in
1973
How
we
sailed
into
Sydney
Harbour
I
saw
an
old
friend
but
I
couldn't
kiss
her
And
she
was
lined,
and
I
was
home
to
the
lucky
land
(come
one)
(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
Their
minds
were
always
closed
And
their
hearts
were
held
in
fast
suburban
chains
And
the
legal
pads
were
yellow,
hours
long,
paypackets
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
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
travelled
'round
the
world
from
year
to
year
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
And
I'm
drifting
north,
to
check
things
out
again
(Come
on
baby,
check
it
out
one
time)
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
wanna
hit
some
Hong
Kong
mattress
all
night
long
Yeah
the
last
plane
out
of
Sydney's
almost
gone
The
last
plane
out
of
Sydney's
almost
gone
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
The
last
plane
out
of
Sydney's
almost
gone
The
last
plane
out
of
Sydney's
almost
gone
A-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
