About the long forgotten Dark Side guarantees
About the long forgotten dockside guarantees
And each one found the anus,
one more year the worse for wear
And each one found me aimless,
one more year the worse for wear
And she was like so many down at Blacktown Mall.
And she was like so many more from that time on.
And she was like so many more from Blacktown Farm.
And she was like so many more from that time on.
And the chickens legs are yellow,
they are long and very lean
And the legal pads were yellow,
hours long, paypackets lean
And the legal pads raved on
I was Bombay-back-in-Maine
And the talac's riders collided
Where the gunships once had been
And cowpox made me jumpy
And I never stop the dream
Oh of the growing need for speed and Novocaine
And the legal pads were yellow
Hours long, pay packets lean
And the telex writers clattered
Where the gunships once had been
And car parks make me jumpy
And I never stop the dream
Of the growing need for speed and Novocaine
Car parks and not COWPOX?? (smallpox was still around in '78).
I left my heart to the South of France, Khe Sanh.
I left my heart to the sappers 'round Khe Sanh.
I left my heart to the crap ass band Khe Sanh
I left my heart to the sappers round Khe Sanh
I left my heart to the sandwich man, Khe Sanh.
I left my heart to the sappers 'round Khe Sanh.
I left my heart to the seppos 'round Khe Sanh.
I left my heart to the sappers 'round Khe Sanh.
A seppo is Australian slang for an American. Seppo is short for septic tank, which is rhyming slang for yank, which is a far more recognised slang for Americans...
I saw the ocean and the silver city
From the ocean to the silver city
I was some place packing meat
Hours long, pay packet lean
Last train out of Sydney's almost gone
Last plane out of Sydney's almost gone
Saw an orphan but I couldn't kiss her,
She was lying and I was holding the lucky man
Saw an old friend but I couldn't kiss her
She was lined and I was home to the lucky land
She was blind and I was home to the lucky land
She was lined and I was home to the lucky land
She was lying and I was home to the American man
She was lined and I was home to the lucky land
The last train out of Sydney is almost gone.
The last plane out of Sydney is almost gone.
The last train out of Sydney's almost gone
The last plane out of Sydney's almost gone
The legal pads were yellow, I was on pay packets then
And the legal pads were yellow
Hours long, paypackets lean.
I really like this site.
The legal pads were young hours
Long pay packet lean.
And the legal pads were yellow
Hours long, paypackets lean.
