Cold
What's this song about?

1
I left my heart to the sappers round Khe Sanh
2
And my soul was sold with my cigarettes to the blackmarket man
3
I've had the Vietnam cold turkey
4
From the ocean to the Silver City
5
And it's only other vets could understand
6
About the long forgotten dockside guarantees
7
How there were no V-day heroes in 1973
8
How we sailed into Sydney Harbour
9
Saw an old friend but couldn't kiss her
10
She was lined, and I was home to the lucky land
11
And she was like so many more from that time on
12
Their lives were all so empty, till they found their chosen one
13
And their legs were often open
14
But their minds were always closed
15
And their hearts were held in fast suburban chains
16
And the legal pads were yellow, hours long, paypacket lean
17
And the telex writers clattered where the gunships once had been
18
But the car parks made me jumpy
19
And I never stopped the dreams
20
Or the growing need for speed and novacaine
21
So I worked across the country end to end
22
Tried to find a place to settle down,
23
Where my mixed up life could mend
24
Held a job on an oil-rig
25
Flying choppers when I could
26
But the nightlife nearly drove me round the bend
27
And I've travelled round the world from year to year
28
And each one found me aimless, one more year the more for wear
29
And I've been back to South East Asia
30
But the answer sure ain't there
31
But I'm drifting north, to check things out again
32
You know the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone
33
Only seven flying hours, and I'll be landing in Hong Kong
34
There ain't nothing like the kisses
35
From a jaded Chinese princess
36
I'm gonna hit some Hong Kong mattress all night long
37
Well the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone
38
Yeah the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone
39
And it's really got me worried
40
I'm goin' nowhere and I'm in a hurry
41
And the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone
42
(Repeat twice)
