[00:03]Standing in the dock at Southampton,
[00:06]Trying to get to Holland or France.
[00:10]The man in the mac said, "You've got to turn back".
[00:13]You know they didn't even give us a chance.
[00:15]Christ you know it ain't easy,
[00:19]You know how hard it can be.
[00:24]The way things are going
[00:26]They're going to crucify me.
[00:31]Finally made the plane into Paris,
[00:35]Honey mooning down by the Seine.
[00:38]Peter Brown called to say,
[00:40]"You can make it O.K.,
[00:41]You can get married in Gibraltar, near Spain".
[00:44]Christ you know it ain't easy,
[00:47]You know how hard it can be.
[00:52]The way things are going
[00:55]They're going to crucify me.
[00:59]Drove from Paris to the Amsterdam Hilton,
[01:03]Talking in our beds for a week.
[01:06]The newspapers said, "Say what you doing in bed?"
[01:10]I said, "We're only trying to get us some peace".
[01:12]Christ you know it ain't easy,
[01:16]You know how hard it can be.
[01:20]The way things are going
[01:23]They're going to crucify me.
[01:28]Saving up your money for a rainy day,
[01:31]Giving all your clothes to charity.
[01:35]Last night the wife said,
[01:37]"Oh boy, when you're dead
[01:39]You don't take nothing with you
[01:40]But your soul - think!"
[01:42]Made a lightning trip to Vienna,
[01:47]eating chocolate cake in a bag.
[01:50]The newspapers said, "She's gone to his head,
[01:53]They look just like two gurus in drag".
[01:56]Christ you know it ain't easy,
[01:59]You know how hard it can be.
[02:04]The way things are going
[02:06]They're going to crucify me.
[02:11]Caught an early plane back to London.
[02:15]Fifty acorns tied in a sack.
[02:18]The men from the press said, "We wish you success,
[02:22]It's good to have the both of you back".
[02:24]Christ you know it ain't easy,
[02:27]You know how hard it can be.
[02:32]The way things are going
[02:35]They're going to crucify me.
[02:39]The way things are going
[02:42]They're going to crucify me.
