Kommentar:
Nach dem großen Erfolg in Deutschland 2008 ist es nicht überraschend, dass Kim WIlde auch in Charleroi auf der Bühne steht. Sie begeistert, hat eine tolle Ausstrahlung und ihr Song-Fundus ist unerschöpflich.
Hoffentlich kommt noch Antwerpen und Rotterdam einmal in den Gebuß von Cambodia & Co!

Lyrics
`Cambodia´:
Well he was Thailand based
She was an air force wife
He used to fly weekends
It was the easy life
But then it turned around and he began to change
She didn't wonder then
She didn't think it strange
But then he got a call
He had to leave that night
He couldn't say too much
But it would be alright
He didn't need to pack
They'd meet the next night
He had a job to do
Flying to Cambodia
And as the nights passed by
She tried to trace the past
The way he used to look
The way he used to laugh
I guess she'll never know
What got inside his soul
She couldn't make it out
Just couldn't take it all
He had the saddest eyes the girl had ever seen
He used to cry some nights as though he lived a dream
And as she held him close
He used to search her face as though she knew the truth
Lost inside Cambodia
But then a call came through
They said he'd soon be home
She had to pack a case and they would make a rendezvous
But now a year has passed and not a single word
And all the love she knew has disappeared out in the haze
Cambodia
Don't cry now, no tears now
And now the years have passed with not a single word
But there is only one thing left I know for sure
She won't see his face again
Hintergrund:
The lyrics, telling the story of the wife of a Thailand-based RAF, whose husband mysteriously disappears after flying out to Cambodia and never returns, are inspired by some of the tragedies that occurred in South Vietnam. In writing the lyrics, Marty Wilde imagined an American pilot flying in a F-4 Phantom II and getting shot down by a surface-to-air missile. In fact, the "Reprise" track was originally intended to include sound of jet engines followed by the sound of a rocket blowing the Phantom up, but the sleeve of the single showed a cartoon featuring helicopters, so these sounds had to be replaced.
