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

A E
christ you know it aint easy , you know how hard it can be
B7 E
the way things are going , theyre gonna crucify me .

finally made the plane into paris
honeymooning down by the seine
E7
peter brown called to say , you can make it ok
you can get married in gibraltar near spain

A E
christ you know it aint easy , you know how hard it can be
B7 E
the way things are going , theyre gonna crucify me .

talking in our beds for a week

the newspapers said what you doing in bed
i said we’re only trying to get us some peace

saving all your money for a rainy day
giving all your clothes to charity
last night the wife said oh boy when youre dead
B7
you dont take nothing with you but your soul . .

made a lightning trip to vienna
eating chocolate cake in a bag

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”
