Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Standin' in the dock at Southhampton
Tryin' to get to Holland or France
The man in the mac said you've gotta go back
You know they didn't even give us a chance
[Chorus]
Christ, you know, it ain't easy
You know how hard it can be
The way things are goin'
They're gonna crucify me
[Verse 2]
Finally made the plane into Paris
Honeymooning down by the Seine
Peter Brown call to say, "You can make it okay"
You can get married in Gibraltar near Spain
[Chorus]
Christ, you know, it ain't easy
You know how hard it can be
The way things are goin'
They're gonna crucify me
[Verse 3]
Drove from Paris to the Amsterdam Hilton
Talkin' in our beds for a week
The news people said, "Say, what you doin' in bed?"
I said, "We're only tryin' to get us some peace"
[Chorus]
Christ, you know, it ain't easy
You know how hard it can be
The way things are goin'
They're gonna crucify me
[Bridge]
Savin' up your money for a rainy day
Givin' 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"
[Verse 4]
Made a light trip to Vienna
Eatin' chocolate cake in a bag
Newspapers said, she's gone to his head
They look just like two gurus in drag
[Chorus]
Christ, you know, it ain't easy
You know how hard it can be
The way things are goin'
They're gonna crucify me
[Verse 5]
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"
[Chorus]
Christ, you know, it ain't easy
You know how hard it can be
The way things are goin'
They're gonna crucify me
[Outro]
The way things are goin'
They're gonna crucify me
