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...
