Well I found myself in a world of pain And I thought I'd try to get away So I went online and book 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 clear the room Off I go singing a different tune So I'm in the cab I'm running late I have no hope getting in these city gates I think of things I should have done Countless things I should have run 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 cue for a lot of bad luck I should have heeded My father's 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 Well the kid behind he's kicking me Possessed by demons on TV Oh no what can I do My passport's gone my wallet too I'v eaten fish and I'm feeling sick I can only hope I'll be landing quick Well first I knew you were up the creek And I got so mad I couldn't speak I was all geared up for Mexico but I was Landing down now in Moscow Oh no this just won't do I wanted heat and it's minus two I'm so choked up but I'm feeling mad I couldn't believe that it could get this bad I should have heeded My father's saying that things will go wrong If you rush too fast you will fall Well I 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 counterfeit and so are you Well I found myself without my shoes In a cold jail cell and I've got the blues I should have heeded My father's saying cause things did go wrong When I tried to run and face it head on Do do do do do
