I left my heart to the sappers round Khe Sanh
And my soul was sold with my cigarettes to the black market 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 guarantee
How there were no V-day heroes in 1973
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 till they’d 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
But the car parks made me jumpy and I never stopped the dreams
Or the growing need for speed and novocaine

So I worked across the country 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
And each one’s 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

You know the last plane out of Sydney’s almost gone
Only seven flying hours and I’ll be landing in Hong Kong
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 going no where and I’m in a hurry
And the last plane out of Sydney’s almost gone

You know 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 going no where and I’m in a hurry
And the last plane out of Sydney’s almost gone.
