text: The song starts off with the memorable lines: "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 (ref. Broken Hill, NSW)" and the refrain "I'm goin' nowhere and I'm in a hurry, You know the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone."
