Easy Terms

Only mine until
The time comes round
To pay the bill
Then I’m afraid
What can’t be paid
Must be returned
You never, ever learn
That nothing’s yours
On easy terms
Only for a time
I must not learn
To call you mine
Familiarise
That face, those eyes
Make future plans
That cannot be confirmed
On borrowed time
On easy terms
Living on the never never
Constant as the changing weather
Never sure
Who’s at the door
Or the price I’ll have to pay
Should we meet again
I will not recognise your name
You can be sure
What’s gone before
Will be concealed
Your friends will never learn
That once we were
On easy terms
Living on the never never
Constant as the changing weather
Never sure
Who’s at the door
Or the price I’ll have to pay
Mrs Lyons: They’re born, you didn’t notify me.
Mrs Johnstone: Well I. just…Couldn't I keep them for a few more days?
Please — please?
They’re a pair, they go together.
Mrs Lyons: My husband is due back tomorrow, Mrs Johnstone.
I must have my baby. We made an agreement, a bargain.
You swore on the bible.
Mrs Johnstone: You’d better — you’d better see which one you want.
Mrs Lyons: I’ll take…
Mrs Johnstone: No. Don’t tell me which one.
Just take him. Take him.
Living on the never never
Constant as the changing weather
Never sure
Who’s at the door
Or the price I’ll have to pay
Should we meet again
