(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.
