《Safe Behind the Wire》歌词

[00:00:00] Safe Behind The Wire - John Schumann and The Vagabond Crew

[00:00:02] Written by：John Schumann

[00:00:10] When the bodies were bagged and the telegrams sent

[00:00:14] And the very last chopper had goneâ

[00:00:17] And you looked out the window of the 707 on the airfield in Saigonâ

[00:00:25] Some of us thought that the war was over some of us couldn't care less

[00:00:32] But you came home and threw a stay behind party to try

[00:00:36] To clear up the mess

[00:00:41] And I don't know where you are tonight

[00:00:45] I'm down here in a fire fightâ

[00:00:48] But wherever you are I hope you're safe behind the wire

[00:00:55] We were fighting for freedom in South East Asia

[00:00:59] That's how the story ranâ

[00:01:03] Windy speeches about a domino falling from China into Vietnam

[00:01:10] But look back in sickness and anger

[00:01:13] Australia didn't honor her debt

[00:01:17] And non-commissioned officer Thompson learned that the war wasn't over yet

[00:01:26] Living on your nerves living on the phone

[00:01:29] Sleeping in airports far from homeâ

[00:01:33] Dusted off now and safe behind the wire

[00:01:54] Well he gave and he gave

[00:01:56] And he kept on giving till he just couldn't give anymore

[00:02:02] And he gave it away one morning in Sydney in a rust red Commodoreâ

[00:02:11] And I remember Phill best talking on the phone

[00:02:14] With a cheeky grin on his face

[00:02:18] 'Cause Royal Commissioners and Knights of the Realm

[00:02:21] Thought that Phill didn't know his place

[00:02:27] And I don't know where you are tonight

[00:02:30] I'm down here in a fire fightâ

[00:02:34] Wherever you are I hope you're safe behind the wire

[00:02:41] And they're still bagging bodies Phill though fourteen years have gone

[00:02:48] And the mums and the dads and the wives

[00:02:50] And the kids still have to soldier on

[00:02:57] And I don't know where you are tonight

[00:03:01] I'm down here in a fire fightâ

[00:03:04] Wherever you are I hope you're safe behind the wire

[00:03:12] And I don't know where you are tonight

[00:03:15] I'm down here in a fire fightâ

[00:03:19] Wherever you are I hope you're safe behind the wire
