Standing on the dock at Southampton
|
Trying to get to Holland or France
|
The man in the Mac
|
Said, "You've gotta go back"
|
You know, they didn't even give us a chance
|
|
Christ, you know it ain't easy
|
You know how hard it can be
|
The way things are going
|
They're gonna crucify me
|
|
Finally made the plane into Paris
|
Honeymooning down by the Seine
|
Peter Brown called to say
|
"You can make it okay
|
"You can get married in Gibraltar, near Spain"
|
|
Christ, you know it ain't easy
|
You know how hard it can be
|
The way things are going
|
They're gonna crucify me
|
|
Drove from Paris to the Amsterdam Hilton
|
Talking in our beds for a week
|
The newspeople said
|
"Say, what're you doing in bed?"
|
I said, "we're only trying to get us some peace"
|
|
Christ, you know it ain't easy
|
You know how hard it can be
|
The way things are going
|
They're gonna crucify me
|
|
Saving all your money for a rainy day,
|
giving all your clothes to charity,
|
last night the wife said,*1*
|
oh boy when you're dead,
|
don't take nothing with you but your soul
|
|
Made a lightning trip to Vienna
|
Eating chocolate cakes*2* in a bag
|
The newspapers said
|
"She's gone to his head
|
"They look just like two gurus in drag"
|
|
Christ, you know it ain't easy
|
You know how hard it can be
|
The way things are going
|
They're gonna crucify me
|
|
Caught the early plane back to London
|
Fifty acorns tied in a sack
|
The men from the press
|
Said, "we wish you success
|
"It's good to have the both of you back"
|
|
Christ, you know it ain't easy
|
You know how hard it can be
|
The way things are going
|
They're gonna crucify me
|
The way things are going
|
They're gonna crucify me
|
The way things are going
|
They're gonna crucify me
|
