  • Archie Powell & The Exports present their first installment for 2011's March Cover Madness. Special thanks to Laura, Amber, Abby, Grey, Melissa, Justin, Mike (a.k.a. "Scott") and Oscar. But especially Oscar.
    LYRICS:
    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 O.K.,
    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 newspaper 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 newspaper said, "She's gone to his head,
    They look just 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.
    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".
    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.

    This has over the years become my favorite Lennon song. Maybe my favorite Beatles song.

      This may be the last song that Lennon and McCartney actually worked on together. Their relationship was up and down at that time, but John was very appreciative of Paul's help on this one. Recorded in one [long] session on the day it was written. What talent they had!!!

    I took to RUclips in blind search of a ballad of john and yoko cover on a whim. This was an extraordinary "Mini-Movie"; better than anything I could have ever imagined, even in my wildest dreams.

    Some comments says this beatles song would be more better if sung by younger generations. To me;,,This is it. I don't even know if those musical instrument used in this video are relly used here. But, it's an enjoyable performance.
