Willy Russell Easy Terms
(spoken)
[MRS LYONS]
Mrs J, we must make this a... a binding agreement
[NARRATOR]
In the name of Jesus the thing was done
Now there's no going back for anyone
It's too late now for feeling torn
There's a pact been sealed
There's a deal been born
(sung)
[MRS JOHNSTONE]
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
[MRS JOHNSTONE]
Or the price I'll have to pay

[MRS LYONS]
They're born! You didn't notify me
[MRS JOHNSTONE]
But I... couldn't I keep 'em a few more days? 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 better... you better see which one you want
[MRS LYONS]
I'll take the -
[MRS JOHNSTONE]
Don't tell me which one, just take 'im. Take 'im
