دانلود آهنگ Khe Sanh از Cold Chisel

Khe Sanh documents the struggle of a Vietnam war veteran, returning to Australia and a normal civilian life. The track (released in 1978) is not just Cold Chisel’s most famous hit, but is also one of the most popular tracks recorded by an Australian act. In 2018, the radio station Triple M named it the most Australian song of all time, ahead of Men at Work’s “Down Under”. Despite it being a cultural phenomenon, at the time, the adult themes lead to heavy censorship, meaning the track only r...

متن آهنگ Khe Sanh Cold Chisel

[00:06.58] I left my heart to the sappers 'round Khe Sanh
[00:12.44] And my soul was sold with my cigarettes to the blackmarket man
[00:17.68] I had the Vietnam cold turkey
[00:20.64] From the ocean to the Silver City
[00:23.54] And it's only other vets could understand
[00:29.39] About the long forgotten dockside guarantees
[00:34.89] How there were no V-day heroes in 1973
[00:40.75] How we sailed into Sydney Harbour
[00:43.84] I saw an old friend but I couldn't kiss her
[00:46.71] She was lined, and I was home to the lucky land
[00:52.63] She was like so many more from that time on
[00:58.56] Their lives were all so empty, until they found their chosen one
[01:03.95] And their legs were often open
[01:07.05] But their minds were always closed
[01:10.01] And their hearts were held in fast suburban chains
[01:15.66] And the legal pads were yellow, hours long, paypackets lean
[01:21.50] And the telex writers clattered where the gunships once had been
[01:27.89] Car parks made me jumpy
[01:30.26] And I never stopped the dreams
[01:33.48] Or the growing need for speed and novacaine
[01:39.07] So I worked across the country from end to end
[01:44.62] Tried to find a place to settle down
[01:47.92] Where my mixed up life could mend
[01:50.47] I held a job on an oil-rig
[01:53.86] Flying choppers when I could
[01:56.74] But the nightlife nearly drove me round the bend
[02:02.46] And I've travelled 'round the world from year to year
[02:08.41] And each one found me aimless, one more year the worse for wear
[02:13.86] And I've been back to South East Asia
[02:17.19] And the answer sure ain't there
[02:20.16] But I'm drifting north, to check things out again
[02:25.15] Yes I am
[02:26.32] 
[02:49.83] Well the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone
[02:55.74] And only seven flying hours, and I'll be landing in Hong Kong
[03:01.40] And there ain't nothing like the kisses
[03:04.68] From a jaded Chinese princess
[03:07.54] I'm gonna hit some Hong Kong mattress all night long
[03:13.79] Well the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone
[03:19.33] You know the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone
[03:25.38] And it's really got me worried
[03:28.31] I'm goin' nowhere and I'm in a hurry
[03:31.06] You know the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone
[03:37.05] Well the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone
[03:42.86] You know the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone
[03:47.92] O-o-o-oh, it's a-really got me worried
[03:51.85] I'm goin' nowhere and I'm in a hurry
[03:54.83] You know the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone
[03:59.52]
