Verse 1:

                                  
Goin' down Geneva; give me a helping hand.
                                       
I'm goin' down Geneva; give me a helping hand.
                                         
It's not easy, baby, living on the exile plan.

Verse 2:

                                         
 Down on the bottom; down to my new pair of shoes.
                                          
 Down on the bottom; down to my new pair of shoes.
                                                 
I'm down by the lakeside, thinking 'bout my baby blue.

Verse 3:

             
Last night I played a gig in Salzburg,
                      
 Outside in the pouring rain.
             
Last night I played a gig in Salzburg,
                       
Outside in the pouring rain.
          
Flew from there to Montreux,
                                 
 And my heart was filled with pain.

Verse 4:

                                        
Look out my window; back at the way things are.
                                              
Look out my window pane; back at the way things are.
                                              
Just wonder how, how did things ever get this far?

Verse 5:

                                                     
Vince Taylor, used to live here; nobody's ever heard of him.
                                            
Vince Taylor used to live here; nobody's ever heard of him.
                                  
Just who he was, just where he fits in.

Verse 6:

                                          
He was goin' down Geneva; give him a helping hand.
                                           
He was goin' down Geneva; give him a helping hand.
                                    
It wasn't easy, living on the exile plan.

Verse 7:

                                                     
Vince Taylor, used to live here; nobody's ever heard of him.
                                            
Vince Taylor used to live here; nobody's ever heard of him.
                                   
Just who he was, just where he fits in.
