《Safe Behind The Wire》歌词

[00:03:26] When the bodies were bagged and the telegrams sent

[00:03:26] And the very last chopper had gone芒?娄

[00:03:26] And you looked out the window of the 707 on the airfield in Saigon芒?娄

[00:03:26] Some of us thought that the war was over, some of us couldn't care less;

[00:03:26] But you came home and threw a stay-behind party to try to clear up the mess.

[00:03:26] And I don't know where you are tonight,

[00:03:26] I'm down here in a fire-fight芒?娄

[00:03:26] But wherever you are, I hope you're safe behind the wire.

[00:03:26] We were fighting for freedom in South East Asia - that's how the story ran芒?娄

[00:03:26] Windy speeches about a domino falling from China into Vietnam.

[00:03:26] But look back in sickness and anger,

[00:03:26] Australia didn't honour her debt;

[00:03:26] And non-commissioned Officer Thompson learned that the war wasn't over yet.

[00:03:26] Living on your nerves, living on the phone

[00:03:26] Sleeping in airports far from home芒?娄

[00:03:26] Dusted off now and safe behind the wire.

[00:03:26] Well, he gave and he gave and he kept on giving, till he just couldn't give anymore;

[00:03:26] And he gave it away one morning in Sydney in a rust-red Commodore芒?娄

[00:03:26] And I remember Phill best talking on the phone,

[00:03:26] With a cheeky grin on his face

[00:03:26] 'Cause Royal Commissioners and Knights of the Realm

[00:03:26] Thought that Phill didn't know his place.

[00:03:26] And they're still bagging bodies, Phill, though fourteen years have gone;

[00:03:26] And the mums and the dads and the wives and the kids still have to soldier on.
