Easy Terms - Barbara Dickson

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
