There are days when I feel ashamed to be a human. Our hypocrisy and disregard for others chills me to my core. But whenever I hear this song, it reinforces my belief in Australia. In our way of life. In our belief of giving our all for our mates, something instilled in every single Australian man, woman and child. I may not be proud to be a human, but by God I am proud to call myself Australian. God bless Australia.

** I left my heart to the sappers round Khe Sanh And I sold my soul with my cigarettes to the blackmarket 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-dayheroes in 1973 And how we sailed into Sydney Harbour I saw an old friend but I 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, until they 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 And 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 from end to end I tried to find a place to settle down, where my mixed up life could mend I 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 found me aimless, one more year the worse for wear And I've been back to South East Asia You know the answer sure ain't there But I'm drifting north, to check things out again , melodi ** Well the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone You know there's seven flying hours, and I'll be landing in Hong Kong And 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 goin' nowhere and I'm in a hurry You know the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone 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 goin' nowhere and I'm in a hurry You know the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone

@stevelewis3 - Thank you for your kind words Steve. I've written several poems and have finally started on a book about PTDS and why so many of us could not function after our time there. For us, there was never a time when we were able to "just get over it", as some would have us do. And that was true for all veterans of all wars. It's too bad we here in the US never seem to learn that war is not the answer to anything.

Vietnam was a F(%*%cked conflict, both US and Oz troops were vilified for duing their "Duty" to the government. I was 1 yr from conscription (Australia) to this war I am so glad I never had to go, interesting as the locals only see Oz visitors due to this song, Oh yes they can all sing this song as well

Truly a TOP song! I posted it on facebook when over in Vietnam a few weeks ago only to find the original was blocked here in Aus' on copyright grounds. To see this song brought down to a debate about Aus' being involved in major wars alongside the U.S. throughout "modern" history is = to watching drunken uneducated teenagers argue over "who's Dad is tougher!"...
