The Beatles - The Ballad Of John And Yoko - HD - Remastered

Standing in the dock at Southampton,
Trying to get to Holland or France.
The man in the mac said, "You've got to turn 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,
Honey mooning 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 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,
eating 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.

Musical Genius...Mark David Chapman should be tortured and crucified.

[Beatles6919]

Just John and Paul play on this song.. Paul-drums, bass, piano.. John-- Guitar, voice

[carmaj156]

I like the part at 1:15 when Paul is going to light a cigarette and then he changes his mind and he's like "fuck this! I've been smoking all day, I've been like one, two, three, arghhh!! I'm sick of it..."

[redletter2008]

@beckslove33 A really fine song played superbly by John and Paul. It was kind of Paul to just go to Abbey Road with John without prior notice to record this song. One would assume that had Paul written a song about his marriage to Linda and had asked John to record a Beatles song about it without the others or prior notice, that he would have had the door slammed in his face. But Paul was the better person then. How did they put up with heroin-dulled John with Yoko glued to his side at all time?

[beckslove33]

And that's why Paul is my favorite. Even through all the shit that went on in the band and everything that happened between him and John, and even Ringo walking out and who knows what else with George, he stayed true to the band. He's such a great person.
