Standing in the dock at Southampton, trying to get to Holland or France

The man in the mac said you've got to 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 going to crucify me

Finally made the plane into Paris, honeymooning down by the Seine

Peter Brown call 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'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 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 to 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 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 going to crucify me

The way things are going, they're going to crucify me
