Cash down never never

Richard Thompson


Young love, I wish you well 
Shotgun and wedding bells 
Semi-semi and the damp is peeling 
Hole in the roof wet the baby's head 
Back streets, real scum about 
Need a car, a little run-about 
Some down and a fistful later 
Sign on the line like the nice man said 

Need a Slumberland or a Frigidaire 
Or a video, sign right there 
In over your head, head, cash down. 
Never-never. Cash down. 
Never-never. Cash down. 

Get a job, good overtime 
Shop floor, assembly line 
Six months and no more company 
No more factory, no more shift 
Get a job, you're gonna go far 
Hot wire and a crow bar 
Nobody's gonna feed the baby 
That's if they catch you, if, if, if 

Vegetating, frustrating 
Repossessions, distressing 
In over your head, head, cash down. 
Never-never. Cash down. 
Never-never. Cash down. 
Never-never. 
Nothing's so hard as living on the easy plan 

Need a Slumberland or a Frigidaire 
Or a video, sign right there 
In over your head, head, cash down. 
Never-never. Cash down. 
Never-never. Cash down. 
Never-never. 
Nothing's so hard as living on the easy plan
