Lyrics to Lovesick Town...

Four Legs Good

Charlie Territory

well you enter at a border
no one's speaking your language
and it's complete chaos
and you're on the lookout for those guide book bandits

but then everyone is smiling
up and down those garbage strewn highways
from the back of this truck
it's look the only heartaches are coming my way

and it's Charlie territory
but now it's Charlie's Grill
well he's feeding all the sons and daughters
of the GI's who first came to kill

there's bamboo stilt houses
and little kids are waving
uxo's off the jungle paths
and fences made from old bomb casings

and the landmine victims
they're a magnet for your change
but there isn't enough that you can give
to bring back those limbs again

we all watched that grizzly footage
when we were just little kids
the far away flames of a tv war
through rose coloured news reel clips
now it's me who's hiding in the jungle
escaping the place that I live

and now you're floating down the mekong
you think how can they be so happy
when they ain't got nothing but they
must have something that we're all lacking
