Standing in the dock at Southampton
Trying to get to Holland Or France
The Man In the Mac said
You gotta go back
you know they didnt even give us a chance
you know it aint easy
you know how hard it can be
the way things are going ...
theyre gonna crucify me.
Finally made the plane into paris honeymooning down by the seine peter brown called to say you can make it ok you can get married in gibraltar near spain ..
you know it aint easy.... etc
Drove from paris to the amsterdam hilton talking in our beds for a week the newspapers said whatre you doing in bed i said we're only trying to get us some peace ...
you know it aint easy...etc
saving all your money for a rainy day giving all your clothes to charity
last nite the wife said oh boy when youre dead
You dont take nothing with you but your soul
Think!
[final two verses corrected]
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" ...CHORUS
Caught the early plane back to London Fifty acorns tied in a sack The men from the press say "We wish you success It's good to have the both of you back"...CHORUS
(from Past Masters 2, originally released as a single in 1969)
