| Billy Joel – Goodnight Saigon Lyrics | 4 years ago |
| @[Ghawkins:31082] At no point in time were "they the superior warriors" If you go back to the first stanza Joel makes the point that we were "Sharp, as sharp as knives!" He returns to describe "Charlie, as sharp as knives" The meaning to be that both Charlie and the Marines were Sharp, Sharp as knives!" I was in the Marines from '66 to '69. This song makes me want to cry remembering the ones who "left their childhood on every acre of Vietnam" and the ones who came back and never got it out of their nostrils! - Brokedown Marine | |
