Well I found myself in a world of pain And I thought I'd try to get away So I went online and booked a trip I thought I was due a holiday So I sat right down and wrote to you Oh dear John those things you do So I packed my stuff and cleared the room Off I go singing a different tune So I'm in the cab, I'm running late I have no hope within these city gates I think of things I should have done Countless things I should have brung Oh no, what can I do The passport check, I'm already through I've got a feeling in my gut That I'm in a short queue for a lot of bad luck I should have heeded My father saying That things will go wrong If you try to run before you crawl Well as I found things can get worse And I'm starting to think I may be cursed While the kid behind, he's kicking me Posessed by demons on TV Oh no, what can I do My passport's gone, my wallet too I've eaten fish and I'm feeling sick I can only hope I'll be landing quick Well first I knew we were over the creek And I got so bad I couldn't speak I was all heated up from Mexico But I was landing now, down in Moscow Oh no, this just won't do I wanted heat and it's minus two I'm all chilled up and I'm feeling mad I couldn't believe it could get this bad I should have heeded My father saying That things will go wrong If you rush too fast you will fall Well I'd lost my bags and all I had Was duty free and a fashion mag With no cash and no Visa too I had a lot of explaining to do Well, they said, this just won't do This is counterfit and so are you Well I found myself without my shoes In the cold jail cell and I've got the blues I should have heeded My father saying 'Cause things did go wrong When I tried to run, and face it head on Du, du-du...
