The ballad of john and yoko


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 going to 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 going to crucify me

Drove from Paris to the Amsterdam Hilton
Talking in our beds for a week
The newspapers 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 going to 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
Cating chocolate cake in a bag
The newspapers 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 going to crucify me

Caught an 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 going to crucify me
The way things are going
They're going to crucify me

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

The Beatles were a British rock band formed in Liverpool in 1960. Widely regarded as the most influential band of all time, they revolutionized popular music with their innovative sound, which blended rock and roll, pop, blues, and psychedelic elements. The group consisted of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr (who joined in 1962). Their music has influenced generations of musicians and continues to be enjoyed worldwide. Some of their most iconic songs include "Yesterday", "Let It Be", "Hey Jude", "Strawberry Fields Forever", and "Come Together". The Beatles released 13 studio albums, including "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" (1967), widely considered one of the greatest albums ever made, and "Abbey Road" (1969). Their breakup in 1970 marked the end of an era, but their musical legacy remains immense.
