I LEFT MY HEART TO THE SPERS ROUND KHE SAHN 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 GUARANTEES HOW THERE WERE NO V-DAY HEROES IN 1973 HOW WE SAILED INTO SYDNEY HARBOUR, SAW AND OLD FRIEND BUT COULDN'T KISS HER SHE WAS LINED, AND I WAS HOME TO THE LUCKY LAND
AND SHE WAS LIKE 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, PAY PACKET LEAN AND THE TELEX WRITERS CLATTERED WHERE THE GUN SHIPS ONCE HAD BEEN BUT THE CAR PARKS MADE ME JUMPY, AND I NEVER STOPPED THE DREAMS OR THE GROWING NEED FOR SPEED AND NOVACAINE
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 NIGHT LIFE NEARLY DROVE ME ROUND THE BEND
AND I'VE TRAVELED ROUND THE WORLD FROM YEAR TO YEAR AND EACH ONE FOUND ME AIMLESS, ONE MORE YEAR THE MORE 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'S 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 YEAH THE LAST PLANE OUT OF SYDNEY'S ALMOST GONE, AND IT'S REALLY GOT ME WORRIED, I'M GOING NOWHERE AND I'M IN A HURRY, AND THE LAST PLANE OUT OF SYDNEY'S ALMOST GONE.
WELL THE LAST PLANE OUT OF SYDNEY'S ALMOST GONE YEAH THE LAST PLANE OUT OF SYDNEY'S ALMOST GONE, YEAH YEAH YEAH AND IT'S REALLY GOT ME WORRIED, I'M GOING NOWHERE AND I'M IN A HURRY, AND THE LAST PLANE OUT OF SYDNEY'S ALMOST GONE.
