[00:11.800]Mum and Dad and Denny saw the passing out parade at Puckapunyal,
[00:19.036](It was long march from cadets).
[00:23.682]The Sixth Battalion was the next to tour and it was me who drew the card…
[00:28.635]We did Canungra and Shoalwater before we left.
[00:34.082]And Townsville lined the footpath as we marched down to the quay;
[00:39.647]This clipping from the paper shows us young and strong and clean;
[00:45.070]And there's me in my slouch hat, with my SLR and greens…
[00:50.364]God help me, I was only nineteen.
[01:01.804]From Vung Tau riding Chinooks to the dust at Nui Dat,
[01:06.802]I'd been in and out of choppers now for months.
[01:12.419]But we made our tents a home, VB and pin-ups on the lockers,
[01:17.760]and an Asian orange sunset through the scrub.
[01:23.103]And can you tell me, doctor, why I still can't get to sleep?
[01:28.731]And night time's just a jungle dark and a barking M16?
[01:34.374]And what's this rash that comes and goes, can you tell me what it means?
[01:39.518]God help me, I was only nineteen.
[01:50.702]A four week operation, when each step could mean your last one on two legs:
[01:56.921]it was a war within yourself.
[02:01.450]But you wouldn't let your mates down 'til they had you dusted off,
[02:06.714]so you closed your eyes and thought about something else.
[02:12.217]Then someone yelled out "Contact"', and the bloke behind me swore.
[02:17.768]We hooked in there for hours, then a God almighty roar;
[02:23.233]Frankie kicked a mine the day that mankind kicked the moon:
[02:28.823]God help me, he was going home in June.
[02:51.263]I can still see Frankie, drinking tinnies in the Grand Hotel
[02:56.075]on a thirty-six hour rec. leave in Vung Tau.
[03:01.851]And I can still hear Frankie lying screaming in the jungle.
[03:06.928]'Till the morphine came and killed the bloody row
[03:12.554]And the Anzac legends didn't mention mud and blood and tears,
[03:17.648]and stories that my father told me never seemed quite real
[03:23.276]I caught some pieces in my back that I didn't even feel…
[03:28.489]God help me, I was only nineteen.
[03:37.056]And can you tell me, doctor, why I still can't get to sleep?
[03:42.215]And why the Channel Seven chopper chills me to my feet?
[03:47.792]And what's this rash that comes and goes, can you tell me what it means?
[03:53.251]God help me,
[03:57.571]I was only nineteen.
