(Lennon/McCartney)
|
Standing in the dock at Southampton,
|
Trying to get to Holland or France.
|
The man in the mac said, "You've got to turn 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 going to crucify me.
|
Finally made the plane into Paris,
|
Honey mooning down by the Seine.
|
Peter Brown called to say,
|
"You can make it O.K.,
|
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 going to crucify me.
|
Drove from Paris to the Amsterdam Hilton,
|
Talking in our beds for a week.
|
The newspapers said, "Say what 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 going to crucify me.
|
Saving up your money for a rainy day,
|
Giving all your clothes to charity.
|
Last night the wife said,
|
"Oh boy, when you're dead
|
You don't take nothing with you
|
But your soul - think!"
|
Made a lightning trip to Vienna,
|
eating chocolate cake 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 going to crucify me.
|
Caught an 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 going to crucify me.
|
The way things are going
|
They're going to crucify me.
