ONLY NINETEEN
Redgum
Mum and Dad and Denny saw the passing out parade at Puckapunyal
It was a long march from cadets
The sixth battalion was the next to tour
and it was me who drew the card
We did Canungra and shoal water before we left
And Townsville lined the footpaths as we marched down to the quay
This clipping from the paper shows us young and strong and clean
And there's me in my slouch hat with my SLR and greens
God help me I was only nineteen
From Vung Tau riding chinooks to the dust at Nui Dat
I'd been in and out of choppers now for months
But we made our tents a home, VB, and pinups on the lockers
And an Asian Orange sunset though the scrub
And can you tell me doctor why I still can't get to sleep
And why nighttime's just a jungle dark and a barking M16
And what's this rash that comes and goes can you tell me what it means
God help me, I was only nineteen
A four week operation every step could be your last one on two legs
It was a war within yourself
But you wouldn't let your mates down till they had you dusted off
so you closed your eyes and thought about something else
Then someone yelled out "contact" and a bloke behind me swore
We hooked in there for hours then a god almighty roar
Frankie kicked a mine the day that mankind kicked the moon
God help me, he was going home in June
I can still see Frankie lying drinking tinnies in the Grand Hotel
On a thirty six hour rec leave in Vung Tau
And I can still see Frankie lying screaming in the jungle
till the morphine came and killed the bloody row
And the Anzac legends didn't mention mud and blood and tears
And the stories that my father told me never seemed quite real
I caught some pieces in my back that I didn't even feel
God help me I was only nineteen
And can you tell me doctor why I still can't get to sleep
And why the channel seven chopper chills me to my feet
And what's this rash that comes and goes can you tell me what it means
God help me, I was only nineteen..

~long Cool Woman~
Saturday night I was downtown
Working for the FBI
Sitting in a nest of bad men
Whisky bottles piling high
Bootlegging boozer on the west side
Full of people who are doing wrong
Just about to call up the DA man
When I heard this woman singing a song
A pair of 45's made me open my eyes
My temperature started to rise
She was a long cool woman in a black dress
Just a 5'9, beautiful tall
With just one look I was a bad mess
'Cos that long cool woman had it all
I saw her headin' to the table
WITH a tall walking big black cat
Well Charlie said I hope that you're able boy
'COS I'm telling you she knows where it's at
When suddenly we heard the sirens
And everybody started to run
I JUMPED DOWN AND ACROSS THE TABLE
When I heard somebody shooting a gun
Well the DA was pumping my left hand
And then she was a-holding my right
Well I told her don't get scared
'Cos you're gonna be spared
Well I've gotta be forgiven
If I wanna spend my living
With a long cool woman in a black dress
Just a 5'9 beautiful tall
Well, with just one look I was a bad mess
'Cos that long cool woman had it all
Had it all

"Ruby Ruby how I want you
Like a ghost I'm gonna haunt you
Ruby Ruby when will you be mine?"
