Stand-ing in the dock at South-amp-ton,
Try'ng to get to Hol-land or France.
The man in the mac said,
"You've got to go back".
You know they did-n't ev-en
give us a chance.
Christ you know it ain't eas-y,
You know how hard it can be.
The way things are go-ing
They're gon-na cru-ci-fy me.
Sav-ing up your mon-ey for a rain-y day,
Giv-ing all your clothes to char-i-ty.
Last night the wife said,
"Oh boy, when you're dead
You don't take noth-ing with you
But your soul - think!"
Made a light-ning trip to Vi-en-na,
Eat-ing choc'late cake in a bag.
The news-pap-ers said,
"She's gone to his head,
They look just like two gu-rus in drag".
Christ you know it ain't eas-y,
You know how hard it can be.
The way things are go-ing
They're gon-na cru-ci-fy me.
Christ you know it ain't eas-y,
You know how hard it can be.
The way things are go-ing
They're gon-na cru-ci-fy me.
They're gon-na cru-ci-fy me.
