Richard Thompson
Cash Down Never Never
[Verse 1]
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 runabout
Some down and a fistful later
Sign on the line like the nice man said

[Chorus]
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 (Whoo)

[Verse 2]
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 gonna feed the baby
That's if they catch you, if, if, if
[Chorus]
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 (Eh)

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
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 (Oh)
