The Ballad Of John And Yoko - The Beatles Recovered Band, The Silver Beetles

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 gonna crucify me

Finally made the plane into Paris

Honeymooning 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 gonna crucify me

Drove from Paris to the Amsterdam Hilton

Talking in our beds for a week

The news people 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 gonna crucify me

Saving up your money for a rainy day

Giving all your clothes to charity

Last night the wife said

«Poor 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 newspaper 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
