Lyrics Richard Thompson

Richard Thompson

Cash Down Never Never

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
