<pre><font size='+2'>Cold Chisel - MERRY GO ROUND Lyrics</font><br>Words and Music by Don Walker.<br>I left my heart to the sappers 'round Khe Sanh,<br>And my soul was sold with my cigarettes to the black market man.<br>I've had the Vietnam cold turkey from the ocean to the Silver City.<br>And it's only other vets could understand.<br>'Bout the long forgotten dockside guarantees,<br>How there were no V-Day heroes in nineteen seventy-three.<br>How we sailed into Sydney Harbour,<br>Saw an old friend but couldn't kiss her,<br>She was lined,<br>And I was home to the lucky land.<br>She was like so many more from that time on,<br>Their lives were all so empty,<br>Till they'd found their chosen one,<br>And their legs were often open,<br>But their minds always closed,<br>And their hearts were held in fast suburban chains.<br>And the legal pad were yellow,<br>Hours long, paypackets lean,<br>And the telex writers clattered,<br>Where the gunships once had been;<br>But the carparks made me jumpy,<br>And I never stopped the dreams,<br>Or the growing need for speed or novacine.<br>So I worked across the country from end to end,<br>Tried to find a place to settle down,<br>Where my mixed-up life could mend,<br>Held a job on an oil-rig,<br>Flying choppers when I could,<br>But the night-life nearly drove me 'round the bend.<br>And I've travelled 'round the world from year to year,<br>And each one found me aimless,<br>One more year the worse for wear,<br>And I've been back to South East Asia,<br>But you know the answer sure ain't there,<br>But I'm drifting North,<br>To check things out again.<br>Well the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone,<br>And only seven flying hours,<br>And I'll landing in Hong Kong,<br>And there ain't nothin' like kisses from a jaded Chinese Princess,<br>I'm gonna hit some Hong Kong mattress all night long.<br>Well the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone,<br>You know the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone,<br>And it's got me worried,<br>I'm goin' nowhere and I'm in a hurry,<br>You know the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone.<br>Well the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone.<br>Well the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone.<br>It's really got me worried,<br>I'm goin' nowhere and I'm in a hurry,<br>You know the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone.<br>Transcribed by Ivan Smith-Romero (ismith@cmet.net) or<br>(chateauxstudios@yahoo.com)<br><br><a href='http://www.lyricsanimal.com' target='_blank'>Lyrics Animal</a> | <a href="http://www.lyricsanimal.com/cold-chisel-lyrics-merry-go-round.html" target='_blank'>Cold Chisel - MERRY GO ROUND Lyrics</a></pre>

I cried my tears in a glass of tequila
For a truck-stop honey with a dubious name
She held my heart like a blackjack dealer
And took my money when she left the game
She was overly fond of sophisticated messin' around
I've had a bellyful of livin' in the same old merry-go-round
Well I played in the summer and I froze in the winter
And I hankered for the high school beauty queen
She was married to a rich young timber-miller
And christened a boy when she was just nineteen
Crazy love, never gonna settle down
I've had a bellyful of lovin' on the same old merry-go-round
Like any man I've got to work for a living
Just to earn my soul for a weekend show
Saturday morning I'll be down by the river
Getting whipped at the Copmanhurst rodeo
When the weekend comes I'm gonna set fire to the town
I've had a bellyful of workin' on the same old merry-go-round
I'm looking out as the sun goes down
Drinking Bundeburg at the end of the day
I'm twentyfive, I'm half alive
The rest is only just a ticket away
Give me a ticket, take me to a city hotel
I've had a bellyful of livin' on the same old merry-go-round
