The Ballad of John and Yoko Songtext
von Teenage Fanclub

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 OK
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 newspeople 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, "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, "Hey, she's going to his head
Hey, they look 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
50 acorns tied in a sack
The men from the press said, "We wish you success
Hey, 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
