Alistair Brammer - Asking For Leave Lyrics

[CHRIS]
John, is that you? Buddy, listen to me
Do I sound different? That's how it should be
Last night I spent a whole lifetime in paradise
Hey, tell the C.O. I'm taking all of my leave
We're gonna play house, oh John, it's like Christmas Eve!
We have sworn we won't see the sun for forty-eight hours

[JOHN]
What are you saying? Are you out of your mind?
All leave is canceled, you could be left behind

[CHRIS, spoken]
Canceled?

[JOHN]
Saigon is falling apart, and you better be here

[ANNOUNCER, spoken]
Please have your papers ready

[JOHN]
Here is the news since you've been on the moon
Cities in the boondocks are dropping like flies
Wives and civilians will be shipping out soon
Crowds around the embassy have tears in their eyes
Thieu has resigned, the new regime may not hold
People at the palace think we'll send the Marines
We are sending nothing from what I've been told
Buddy, are you there?
[CHRIS, spoken]
Yes

[JOHN]
Do you know what that means?
Sure! Time to fall in love!

[CHRIS]
John, listen fast, you did not get this call
You're the one who bought the girl for me after all
Once you are a friend, you're a friend through and through
When you were in trouble, man, I covered for you

[JOHN]
Not this time, the town's too hot
For one con gái whore, old buddy
I will not get you killed

[CHRIS]
Hey, she is no whore, you saw her too
She's really more like the, the April moon

[JOHN, spoken]
April fuckin' moon?

[CHRIS]
Look, both her parents died
She was all alone, she was terrified
[JOHN]
Sweet as that, and she's an orphan too!
How can a guy fight that? You got one day, not two
Then be back!

[CHRIS, spoken]
Right
